This is one of the great Mediterranean Revivals of St. Pete. Built during the glory days of the 1925 boom by a Wisconsin lumber baron, this home was built to last. And last it has, preserving both that era's quality and elegance and space. You can see the original craftsmanship for yourself in the oak and pine floors; the French doors with glass and brass hardware; the 40+ windows; the high ceilings and wide corridors; the clay tile roof ... . What you cannot see are the hollow tile building blocks, the solid rafters, the mighty attic fan, now rare.

Crescent Lake is one of St. Petersburg's great traditional neighborhoods. It has the added bonus of a 56 acre park with lake, tennis courts, historic Huggins - Stengel Ball, jogging paths, jungle gyms and dog park. It has an active neighborhood association that immediately swings into action to find a lost dog, for example. Or plans for a neighborhood-wide lake clean up or garage sale. The neighborhood has diversity of architecture and well maintained yards. The best part are the people who choose to live here.

This home is simple and elegant. Mediterranean Revival has a great visual presence. Inside, the floor plan flows easily. Outside, the back yard with its old oak and open area gives a feeling of well, space. This home is conveniently located near downtown's museums, restaurants, nightlife and waterfront. Easy access to the interstate. Great neighbors: kind and engaging.
