Some Historic Kenwood homes offer charm. This one offers charm, space, park views, a pool, rare parking and a double corner lot designed for real Florida living. Perfectly positioned across from Seminole Park, this renovated 1949 home immediately feels luxurious. From the front living room, a large picture window frames lush park views instead of another home across the street, making everyday life feel connected to one of Historic Kenwood’s most beloved green spaces. Set on an oversized double corner lot, the property lives larger than expected with multiple outdoor zones. The backyard features a large pool, new paver patio and generous entertaining space. The side yard offers room for a sitting area, fire pit or garden, while the alley side provides a garage, large carport, additional parking and potential future ADU flexibility, subject to zoning. A mature lychee tree adds shade and character. Inside, the layout is smart and livable, with secondary bedrooms and a full bath on one side and the primary suite with full bath privately positioned on the opposite side. At the center, the parlor-style living room anchors the home with original coved ceilings and preserved mid-century character. The kitchen and family room create the heart of the home, with open gathering space and a wall of windows overlooking the pool. It is built for effortless entertaining, casual dinners, pool days, weekend guests and the indoor-outdoor Florida lifestyle people move to St. Pete to enjoy. Just off the kitchen, a butler’s pantry adds storage, prep space and laundry convenience, then leads to a flexible bonus room with doors opening to the outside on both ends. Use it as a lounge, game room, studio, poolside retreat or additional entertaining space. The renovation protects the home’s character while delivering modern comfort. Updates include a new roof, HVAC, tankless water heater, electrical panel, pool pump, pool skimmer, hurricane-impact windows, sliders and doors. This home was selected as one of Historic Kenwood’s distinguished Mid-Century residences featured in the St. Petersburg Historic Registry and received all required historic preservation approvals for its thoughtful renovations and upgrades. Historic Kenwood is known for its creative energy, strong neighborhood association, community gatherings and welcoming feel. From this location, you are just blocks from Central Avenue and the Grand Central District, approximately 10 minutes to Downtown St. Pete, 5 minutes to I-275 and 15 minutes to the Gulf Beaches. The yard has been prepped and seeded.
