Some mornings, you open the front door and the park is simply there: the oak canopy, the lake catching light, and the rare quiet of having nowhere else to be.
That is the everyday reality of this home.
Built by Canopy Builders and positioned directly across from Historic Round Lake Park, this American Foursquare captures the character of Old Northeast with the comfort, efficiency, and peace of mind of newer construction. A wide brick front porch invites morning coffee, evening drinks, and easy connection with the neighborhood.
Inside, everything feels intentional and beautifully finished. The kitchen is the heart of the home, anchored by a professional-grade KitchenAid gas range beneath a custom hood, with a brass pot filler, marble-look quartz counters and backsplash, soft gray shaker cabinetry, warm brass hardware, and a farmhouse apron sink. A built-in microwave drawer, French-door refrigerator, dual-zone beverage and wine refrigerator, and dedicated coffee and bar station make the space as functional as it is inviting. Light oak floors, woven wood shades, and a generous breakfast bar tie the room seamlessly to the rest of the home.
The owner's suite is a true retreat, filled with natural light and framed by treetop and park views. A spacious walk-in closet keeps everything in its place, while the spa-like bath features a freestanding soaking tub, double-sink vanity with custom wood cabinetry, walk-in shower, marble mosaic tile flooring, and polished nickel and brass fixtures.
The elevation matters, too. Sitting more than 40 feet above sea level and engineer-certified to current hurricane standards, this is the kind of home that offers both beauty and peace of mind. Insurance reflects that.
The oversized lot offers room to grow, with a professionally designed pool plan already completed and available to the next owner. Electrical and audio infrastructure have already been considered, making future execution significantly easier. The detached two-car garage has its own 200-amp service, Tesla Universal Charger, additional outlets, and genuine ADU potential. Total electrical capacity on site reaches 400 amps.
Additional features include integrated audio and internet wiring throughout, hardwired in-home DVR, in-wall pest control, whole-house water softening, tankless water heating, Rain Bird irrigation, consolidated utilities, alley access, five parking spaces, and a fully fenced yard.
Best of all, you can leave the car at home. Flatbread & Butter, Bier Boutique, the restaurants and shops surrounding Round Lake, and vibrant downtown St. Petersburg are all within easy reach.
The park is your front yard. And the home, for all its practicality, does not feel merely practical. It feels like somewhere you would actually want to live.
