861 19th Ave., St. Petersburg, FL 33704

This is one of the great Mediterranean Revivals of St. Pete, offered for the first time in almost fifty years. Built during the glory days of the 1925 boom, this home was built to last. And last it has, preserving both that era's quality and elegance and space. You can see the original craftsmanship for yourself in the oak and pine floors; the French doors with glass and brass hardware; the 40+ windows; the high ceilings and wide corridors; the clay tile roof ... . What you cannot see are the hollow tile building blocks, the solid rafters, the mighty attic fan, now rare. A 5 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath home with an in law apartment and 3,364 gross square feet on a 1/4 acre of high ground is listed often as a mansion with commensurate pricing. Offered here is a wonderful home in Crescent Lake, one of the great traditional neighborhoods, at a reasonable price.
