1133 Bay St., St. Petersburg, FL 33701

When you think of the Old Northeast, you envision houses that are full of special features that stand out in a cookie-cutter world. This bright, updated bungalow epitomizes the lifestyle that makes the neighborhood so desirable, with its original wood flooring, wood-burning fireplace and vintage touches such as glass doorknobs. The current owners have tastefully remodeled and updated the property, including the kitchen, which now features a farmhouse sink, gas range and granite countertops. The bathroom has also been updated with new tile, new fixtures and a glass-enclosed shower. Added touches include a tankless hot water heater, impact windows and sliding doors that lead to a large back yard. The back apartment above the garage has wood floors and a spacious amount of living area. Tenants can also use the separate laundry facilities in the garage. The back yard is a perfect place to host a barbecue and entertain. Only seven blocks separate you from the waterfront parks along Tampa Bay. And downtown St. Petersburg, with its arts, culture and dining scene, is less than a mile away, so you can enjoy the tranquil neighborhood but indulge your taste for urban living on a whim.
