ST PETERSBURG, FL 33704 3520 POPLAR STREET NE

Imagine yourself enjoying your morning coffee or twilight beverage overlooking a beautiful mangrove-lined waterfront park while majestic shore birds wander up to say hello. This stunning home is a contemporary version of Florida-style Midcentury Modern architecture. Situated in the Historic Northeast neighborhood, the main house and detached garage look onto the green space and boat launch of Crisp Park. The house has been lovingly restored and improved over a four-year period by its current owners with plans and permits using licensed professional subcontractors. Outdoor living is a central theme of the design, using sunlight and creative landscaping to create separate spaces for enjoyment. LOCATION - Talk about location! – This home is considered one of the finest corner waterfront lots in the neighborhood, ready to enjoy in its current form with room to enlarge as desired. The front porch faces east, bathed in light by sunrise and reflected sunsets. Abundant shops, services, and restaurants are nearby including Whole Foods, Publix, and Crunch Fitness. For those that travel for business, or lock & go to see the world, Tampa International Airport is a short, 19-mile drive. Brightly lit by abundant hurricane-rated windows and doors, the interior palette is composed of the natural coastal colors of sky, sea, and sand. The home includes two garages, one attached and one detached with generous off-street parking. Outdoor living includes an expansive front porch, a rear deck, and the stunning detached garage/boathouse with French doors opening to the spacious patio. The park-like landscape includes intimate spaces shaded by majestic live oaks and lawns accented by tall Foxtail palms, and ornamental shrubbery and fences. FEATURES - The masonry block home has undergone extensive fully permitted renovations with professional architecture. Renovations include major systems modernization, hurricane-rated windows and doors, new roof – including hurricane strapping, all new interior flooring, doors, trim, and appliances.

The interior upgrades and finish work include removal of old plaster walls, trim, subfloors, replaced with new drywall, wood sheathing, doors, trim, cabinets, and appliances. Plumbing and electrical work beneath the house was extensively upgraded when wooden subfloors were replaced. The elegant and simple soffit is made of solid cedar boards and Hardie fascia finished in natural and black colors. The new Atlas roof and Simonton door, and window warranties may be transferred. (See the attached file for a complete list.) The striking detached garage was purpose built as a “boathouse” for easy access to lifestyle toys, kayaks, SUPs, bikes, and boats. Heavy duty shelving lines the uppermost ceiling area and towering ceiling height. Paired French doors open onto the patio, and the roll up door faces the public boat launch across the street in Crisp Park. Modern technology is used throughout to provide peace of mind when away, with Lutron automated lighting controls, Google doorbell and video security, ADT alarm system, and Hydrawise online landscape watering controls. The landscape is watered with City of St. Pete reclaimed water, controlled with an 8-zoned automated system. Trees have been cared for annually by a certified arborist, with attention given to both safety and beauty of the tree canopies.
