301 23RD AVENUE NE

Under contract-accepting backup offers. Immaculate and stunning Mid-Century Modern home in historic Granada Terrace. Great water view and because of it's high elevation it has never been affected by past storms or hurricanes. Granada Terrace Park has sweeping water views across Coffee Pot Bayou and is the perfect location that allows you to walk out the front door and watch manatee and dolphins frolicking, drop in a kayak, take a long walk along the water to downtown, fish off the steps that Perry Snell installed for gondola tours or simply enjoy the quiet peace of the park. The serene garden entrance leads up to coral steps and a perfect porch to people watch. At the entry, you will find an open floor plan with a cozy sitting area that has breathtaking views of the water and an occasional wedding, a living room, dining room and open kitchen with an eat-in bar. The kitchen cabinets go perfectly with the original wood flooring for a retro, yet modern aesthetic. A primary suite with a graciously appointed bathroom has views of the park and doors to a small outside sitting area that lead to the turfed backyard, pool and lanai. A resplendent retreat. The second bedroom, also with ensuite bath, is located downstairs and would make a great space for a family member or guest room. Past the kitchen are stairs leading up to the private second primary or guest room with a full ensuite bath. Adjacent to the kitchen is a den that has many uses. Movie watching, cozying up to a good book, a wonderful play area for the kids or working from the built in desk. The den has doors that lead out to the lanai and pool area. A half bath located in the den provides convenient access on a pool day. The covered lanai and pool are hidden by a beautifully lush bamboo hedge and privacy wall. The pebble pool and no maintenance turf is easy on the kids and revered by dogs everywhere. There is also plenty of room to store the kayaks and paddle boards. The driveway and carport are to the side maintaining that clean front yard aesthetic. A storage area with a garage door that could house your scooters or a motorcycle for the inevitable downtown adventures is a handy space with access to the laundry room. Lutron lighting for complete control and customization of whole house illumination. Hunter Douglas custom blinds that open up and down. Landscaping lighting. Surround sound. The brick lined streets, immediate access to the third largest urban waterfront park system in North America, walking distance to vibrant downtown St. Pete and a small boat launch at Crisp Park make this undeniably the spot to enjoy all that the historic Old NE area has to offer.
