Property Description

You aren't going to want to miss out on seeing this incredible home in the beautiful Historic Uptown neighborhood. This perfectly crafted Airplane Bungalow-style home is most likely from one of the Sears and Roebuck kit homes that you'd purchase from a catalog in the early 1900s. It gets its name from the standout second-story room, also known as the cockpit. The cockpit has an abundant amount of natural light from the multitude of windows along every wall. This home has been lovingly cared for over the decades, all while being tastefully updated to accommodate today's lifestyle. The front porch has an inviting porch swing where you can look out over the brick-lined streets and classic St. Pete hexagon sidewalks. Inside, you'll immediately be drawn to the refinished hardwood floors, the picturesque wood-burning fireplace, original woodwork around the windows and doors, high ceilings, and a built-in hutch in the dining room. The amount of natural light that pours into every single room in this house will leave you feeling like you've brought the sunshine into your home. The kitchen has plenty of storage, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances that include a gas range. There is a bonus office space off the kitchen that could also make a great breakfast nook in the future. Off the living room, there is a picture-perfect guest bedroom and bathroom. The downstairs Jack & Jill bathroom has a new vanity, fixtures, light, reglazed clawfoot tub, and checkered flooring. On the north side of the home, there is a second entrance with its very own screened-in porch that leads to another bedroom. This space could be a multi-purpose room and could function as a home workspace, playroom, workout room, etc. Up the stairs, there is a great-sized primary bedroom. Off the bedroom is a cute bathroom with a new vanity, mirror, hardware, and also that charming checkered flooring that is in the downstairs bathroom as well. There is a walk-in closet with a newer front-load washer/dryer. Heading outside, you will find the original garage that was built with beautiful beveled blocks and custom wood carriage doors. The yard is low-maintenance and perfect for enjoying Florida living. The wooden deck has been refinished, and the artificial turf complements the space. The double swing gate allows for easy access to the yard. There is a highly coveted private parking space just off the street. Additional upgrades and features: 30-year roof (2017), Square D 150 AMP electrical panel (2012), tankless gas water heater (2017), restored plaster and lathe ceilings (2024), many restored original windows (2017), and fumigated with warranty (2024). You are seven blocks away from our beloved downtown and neighborhood favorites such as Flatbread and Butter, The Bier Boutique, Uptown Eats, Foxtail Coffee Co., and so much more. This home is also in an X flood zone (no flood insurance currently required), a non-evacuation zone, and it is nearly 40 feet above sea level.
