RARE AUTHENTIC MID CENTURY JEWEL “A House on A Hillside” was designed in 1954 by prominent architect William B. Harvard, an AIA gold medal winner and designer of many historic local landmarks, and this mid-century marvel has remained in the family to date. At the time of its construction, important environmental issues influenced the unique design of wide overhangs to prevent direct sun intrusion, and large jalousie windows to provide 100% ventilation. The slope of the lot dictated a split-level plan with a carport on the lowest level. The living room on the main level boasts permanently unobstructed views of Allendale Park. Inside this 3288 Square Foot home, there are 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, den, office, and fantastic entertaining spaces. The balcony of the primary bedroom level with its 1954 map of the world overlooks the 2-story living room. Cypress and mahogany paneling throughout, as well as a hidden attic, louvered transoms, original bathroom tiles, vinyl tile flooring, original George Nelson wall clock and other classic mid-century features are found throughout the home. The pantry bar serving the living room reflects the mid-century entertainment style. This home has been lovingly preserved, and only a few bathroom fixtures and kitchen appliances have necessarily been replaced. New Pella sliding doors to the lush backyard now provide access to a private modern patio and Sekas swimming pool. This high and dry house spans two lots (over a third of an acre) and is centrally located on beautiful brick streets in Allendale Terrace, close to shopping, schools, and just minutes from downtown St. Petersburg. This house is a rare treat for those who appreciate and cherish unique mid-century architecture. www.stpetemidcentury.com
