1244 48th Ave., St. Petersburg, FL 33703

This home is like living in a garden painting with views from the kitchen, dinning, Great room and family rooms. Authentic old world charm is everywhere, from the gleaming oak floors to the cove ceilings and mosaic tiles in the bath. Theback of the house is nearly all windows with views of your own private courtyard and picturesque garden area. From the moment you walk through the door it feels like a sanctuary in the middle of St Petersburg, another world yet close enough to everything. No flood insurance, new hip roof, sliding gate, parking pad plus detached garage and plenty of storage. On the edge of Allendale, one block to Roberts Recreation Center and a half mile to 275.
