Custom, Historic, Mediterranean

Scenic Old-World elegance and culture surrounds as you enter (The Granada Terrace Historic District) of The Old Northeast. A vision of Perry Snell as he developed along the beautiful waterfront of St. Petersburg, FL. This Granada neighborhood was designed in the true Mediterranean Spanish Style of Granada, Spain. The scenic views of the wide boulevard with bougainvillea covered trellis', the brick streets with granite curbs, the water view of Coffee Pot Bayou invites one to slow down and enjoy. Welcome to this one-of-a-kind home custom built by Perry Snell (known by the locals as the “Golden Dome House”). The unique architectural elements such as the dome, the front arches with wrought iron embellishments are visible before stepping into the covered front porch. As the beauty unfolds from the original tile floor to the double French doors you are invited to enter the living room with a tall, beamed ceiling, original wood floors, a large fireplace with decorative details and French doors that open to the expansive verandah. The eat-in Kitchen with hardwood floors, an oversized island, beautiful wood cabinets, soft-close drawers, blue granite counters, double sink, built in microwave drawer, GE Café gas range, and vented stainless steel exhaust. The formal dining room with windows and wood floors is open to the living room and kitchen. Two bedrooms are located on opposite sides of floor plan away from entertaining areas. Both have original wood floors and large double door closets. The front one has a French door leading to front porch and two double French doors opening to the front garden. The split a/c system creates individual sleeping temperature. The full bath is updated and bright. The sparkling half- bath has been redone near the laundry area. The office is at the back entrance.
