A beloved architectural gem, this 1929 Spanish Revival-style home presents an extraordinary opportunity to experience the charm and character of St. Petersburg’s past. A pillar among the community often referred to as the “Little Alamo,” the carefully crafted residence and surrounding street were showcased in the Asheville Postcard Company’s Beautiful Florida Series in 1930. Located at 1420 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Street North, this unique property is marketed exclusively by Sherry Wolfe of Premier’s Sotheby’s International Realty’s South Tampa office.
Boasting four bedrooms and three baths, the home’s stunningly renovated interior emanates warmth and elegance while honoring period-correct decorative details. Timeless elements and fine finishes abound, and modern conveniences are thoughtfully concealed to maintain the essence of a bygone era. Infused with natural light, the living room is highlighted by an impressive wood-burning fireplace and a painted framed art scene that rotates into a flat-screen television. A spacious dining room is made for memorable moments leading to the heart of the home — an inviting kitchen with custom-curated cabinets, hardware and a handcrafted Italian dual fuel range.
Tranquility is found within the owners’ suite complemented by a marble detailed bath, walk-in closet and access to an outdoor veranda. Two newer on-site guest apartments were designed to mimic the main home’s original style. Residents are just a stone’s throw from the lively city center in downtown St. Petersburg, teeming with renowned restaurants, spectacular shops and countless cultural venues.
