A two-story Dutch Colonial home with three bedrooms, two full bathrooms and one half-bath, at 8059 31st Avenue N. in west St. Petersburg, has listed for $1.095 million. Built in 1926, the 2,546-square-foot estate was one of the first to be completed during the early days of Walter Fuller’s development of the area.
On the main level, a foyer opens to an expansive living room with a brick wood-burning fireplace, a spacious dining area and a sunroom with wraparound windows. Nine-foot ceilings and original narrow-plank hardwood floors can be found throughout the home.
The renovated kitchen features custom wood cabinets, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and a walk-in pantry. The downstairs also provides a dedicated laundry area and a half-bath.
Upstairs is the primary suite with a large amount of closet space and an ensuite bath, two additional bedrooms that share a bath, and an intimate reading nook. Above this level is 400 square feet of air-conditioned bonus space which can be transformed into a home office or playroom, or used for additional storage.
Outdoors is lush landscaping, mature trees, a 16’ x 34’ pool, covered parking for a RV or boat and a driveway that can accommodate up to eight vehicles. A 644-square-foot detached garage provides two parking spots and a workshop area.
The home is situated on a 0.38-acre parcel that spans 2 and 1/2 lots, one of the largest in the neighborhood.
Recent upgrades include the replacement of all electrical, plumbing and mechanical systems; professionally-designed custom ductwork and HVAC; refinished floors; re-leveled floor joists; and new interior and exterior paint.
