Property Description

Welcome to your serene tropical hideaway just one block from the sparkling waters of Tampa Bay. This funky, beachy retreat is a rare blend of bohemian soul and Japanese-inspired architecture, wrapped in lush greenery and coastal charm. A true escape that feels worlds away, yet it’s only minutes from the vibrant energy of downtown St. Pete. Tucked behind mature palms and lush tropical vegetation, the main house greets you with a welcoming front porch, flanked by bold lion statues that set the tone for this one-of-a-kind property. Breezy jalousie windows invite the bay air inside, creating a naturally bright and airy flow throughout the home. The main house features two upstairs bedrooms—one with views of the bay—and a full bath. The master includes a cedar-lined closet for a touch of luxe character. Downstairs, you’ll find a generously sized living room, a cozy den with a private exit to the back porch, and a cheerful kitchen with breakfast nook and its own separate entrance. Step out back to discover a tropical paradise: a fully fenced yard, expansive patio, and winding walkway that leads to a secluded pool deck with a sparkling swimming pool—perfect for sun-drenched afternoons or starry evening swims. Need room for guests or creative space? The detached guest house offers a charming efficiency setup with a full bath, kitchenette, and private entrance from the alley—a great bonus for visitors, rental income, or an artist’s studio. This special home didn’t flood in recent hurricanes, smartly situated in the elevated X 500 flood zone, offering peace of mind alongside its peaceful vibe. With access from both the street and a quiet alley, the property feels private and tucked away—yet it’s just steps from the waterfront and moments from restaurants, art galleries, and nightlife in downtown St. Petersburg. Just at the end of the street lies Lassing Park, a beloved local gem offering a lush green lawn that gently meets the sandy shoreline of Tampa Bay. This serene, waterfront park provides a perfect setting for picnics, leisurely strolls, or simply soaking in the panoramic bay views. Its open spaces and natural beauty make it a favorite spot for both relaxation and recreation, enhancing the tranquil lifestyle that this neighborhood offers. If you’re looking for a cool, beachy haven with soul, style, and a touch of Zen, then don’t let this fabulous home pass you by.
