A 1925 Colonial with soul, on a large 75 by 127 lot in St. Petersburg's quiet Davista neighborhood. Three bedrooms, 2.5 baths, 2,296 sq ft of living space, beautiful hardwood floors throughout, and a double-sided fireplace that anchors the main living area and warms two rooms at once. The sellers bought this home about 25 years ago, shortly after their son was born, choosing it for its safe, welcoming neighborhood and great schools. In their words: "We fell in love with the natural light that fills every room, the beautiful trees around the property, and the squirrels that are part of the scenery." Beautiful wood windows fill the home with wonderful natural light, from the breakfast room and formal dining room to the Florida room, whose many windows make it a natural sunroom. The 300 sq ft playroom adds flexible space for an office, studio, or private retreat. The covered front porch invites slow mornings and evening breezes. Out back, a fenced yard shaded by vintage live oaks and mature trees gives you privacy and room to spread out. "What we'll miss most is the friendly, close-knit neighborhood that made this house feel like home," the sellers say. A large garage with plenty of storage, plus an irrigation system fed by a well pump, so you never have to water. Brick streets, bungalow and colonial styled neighbors, minutes from Treasure Island, John's Pass shopping and restaurants, and downtown St. Petersburg. This is your chance to own a 1925 classic and make it your own, in a neighborhood where character still counts. Offered at $649,000.
