This custom home by Next Design and Build blends striking mid-century modern architecture with cutting-edge smart home technology—nestled in St. Pete’s highly desirable Northeast Park neighborhood. Steps away from Crisp Park, close to Coffee Pot Bayou and downtown. The property features 5 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms in total, with a 3 bed, 2.5 bath main home and a 2 bed, 1 bath guest suite above the detached garage (includes Certificate of Occupancy as an ADU) with a separate private entrance. Natural light pours through skylights and oversized windows, highlighting 10' ceilings and clean, open lines that create an airy, uplifting atmosphere. Designed for true indoor-outdoor living, the screened porch is accessible by both the main house and detached guest suite, and functions as a second living space overlooking a private courtyard with a heated saltwater pool. Lush, mature landscaping surrounds the courtyard and entire property creating a private oasis—perfect for relaxing or entertaining year-round. A full smart home system controls lighting, climate, and audio throughout, including 23 built-in indoor/outdoor speakers. The huge, indoor utility room includes ample storage, sink and refrigerator. The detached 2 bed suite offers ideal flexibility for guests or a home office, while the third bay of the oversized garage can be used for golf cart parking or a poolside gym complete with hot/cold plumbing for an outdoor shower. Thoughtful design elements—from engineered oak floors to a high-efficiency HVAC system—combine style, comfort, and durability. Built in 2023 with hurricane ready features, and no storm water intrusion to date, this home delivers peace of mind and sustainable living with style.
