Magnificent two story Mediterranean enriched with details and wonderful style. Originally built in 1965 by architect David Tudeen for himself and his family and then completely redesigned and renovated in 2015 by architect Gerald Li, formerly of Los Angeles, maintaining the original Mediterranean style with all the modern features anyone could imagine. The kitchen was designed and constructed by Busby Kitchens of Tampa, known for their fine detailing and quality construction. The kitchen and family room are very large yet maintaining a warm atmosphere and there is also surround sound, perfect for entertaining. There is a formal living room and dining room with a beautiful foyer and a soaring open expanse in front of the staircase housing a spectacular light fixture. The details of this area are enhanced with pesky cypress beams, detailed arches in the living room and impressive front doors. The open staircase takes you to the owner’s suite that is generous and luxurious with a Juliet balcony, fireplace, wetbar, with its own wardrobe room and bathroom. The other two suites have a huge walk-in closet and bathroom. The Laundry Room is a nice feature being situated on the second floor. An oversized garage was built that encompasses a workshop for a do it yourselfer. A mudroom connects the family room to the garage. The backyard features a built in Sedona grill for those who enjoy a fine steak. The brick pathway meanders around to the south side of the house where a large courtyard is located with a six-foot wall for privacy. On the north side of the house the brick pathway takes you to a copper gazebo to sit outside and enjoy the landscaping. The front of the home has a motor court that was built with bricks that were used for the early streets of St Petersburg. The home is located on one of St Petersburg’s finest streets. As you enter Jungle Ave N you’ll be impressed with the magnificent homes lining each side of the tree lined, brick street. Ten minutes to the beaches of Treasure Island and twenty minutes to downtown St Pete.
