About this home
Own a piece of Old Pasadena history in this 1934 Mediterranean estate by E.N. Staples. This striking solid-concrete estate sits on a rare, expansive double lot — a true sanctuary offering 2,700 sq. ft. of architectural mastery. Constructed with enduring craftsmanship and timeless design, the home features three spacious bedrooms, three full bathrooms, plus a dedicated Library/Office, along with a two-car garage and additional alley-access parking for four vehicles. Classic Mediterranean details are showcased throughout, including arched doorways, soaring cathedral ceilings with decorative beams, balconies, patios, and a private courtyard. The downstairs living spaces are enhanced by beautiful hardwood floors with decorative inlay detailing, adding warmth and refined character. The living room is a true focal point, featuring distinctive hand-cast faience tile flooring crafted during the Golden Age of American tile, echoing the artistry found in the iconic Vinoy Hotel lobby. A gas fireplace and newer French doors open to both the west patio and the lush rear courtyard, a favorite gathering space with partial privacy walls and mature landscaping. The formal dining room offers original oak floors, built-in shelving, and French doors leading to the Magnolia Patio, with convenient access to the eat-in kitchen. The kitchen is well-appointed with abundant cabinetry and counter space, stainless steel appliances, a Bosch dishwasher, and a three-door refrigerator. The main level also features a full bath and a flexible third bedroom presently designed as a secondary living room or den. Upstairs, the second bedroom features French doors to a balcony, original built-ins, and a charming porthole-style window. The adjacent full bath leads to a flexible Office/Library space, ideal as a home office or nursery, positioned next to the secluded primary suite. The spacious primary retreat offers balcony access overlooking the Magnolia Patio. The primary bath has been thoughtfully renovated into a serene retreat, featuring dual vanities, quartz surfaces, sleek black fixtures, a frameless glass shower, and a freestanding soaking tub. Additional highlights include a newer tile roof, expansive park-like grounds enhanced by the rare double-lot setting, and a tranquil backyard garden complete with a stone water feature and pond, creating a peaceful outdoor retreat. Two large sheds on the property provide excellent additional storage. Historic Old Pasadena, established in 1922, is known for its architectural charm, rich history, and strong sense of community — qualities beautifully reflected in this remarkable property. Conveniently located near top-rated beaches, restaurants, shopping, and all that vibrant Downtown St. Pete has to offer....
