Under contract-accepting backup offers. Frank Lloyd Wright-Inspired Mid-Century Modern Sanctuary in Catalina Gardens - Meticulously restored to preserve its architectural heritage, this 3-bed, 2-bath retreat offers a rare opportunity for the discerning buyer to own a property that is both a design statement and a personal sanctuary. From the first approach, the home’s brick exterior, carefully selected Frank Lloyd Wright color palette from the Fallingwater collection, and commanding presence among towering live oaks and mature tropical flora establish its tone of timeless elegance. Architectural integrity and design excellence from the moment you step inside, you are greeted by a symphony of design elements that have been lovingly curated to preserve and enhance the original character of the home. Polished terrazzo floors, custom cabinetry, and walls of glass create an interplay of light, texture, and proportion that define the mid-century ethos. The sunken great room anchors the interior space with its massive gas-fed fireplace and panoramic windows that draw the eye outward to the gardens and lake beyond. The primary bath is a rare fusion of preservation and tasteful modernization—featuring restored mid-century cabinetry, refinished original woodwork built on site, new quartz countertops, and a recreated shower with updated plumbing that honors the home’s original proportions while enhancing everyday luxury. Seamless indoor-outdoor living through a three-panel pocket slider, the great room spills into a spacious enclosed lanai—a private entertainment oasis complete with flagstone floors, an in-ground hot tub, a custom cooking station, and a soaring redwood roof enclosure that opens the space to spectacular views of the gardens and water beyond. The lanai overlooks a freshwater pond with a softly cascading natural stone waterfall, leading into a scenic brackish lake, a serene offshoot of Bayou Creek. This layered water feature creates an immersive, ever-changing backdrop to daily life—enhanced by the lush, tropical landscaping that only decades of cultivation and care can produce. Though you may feel a world away, this peaceful oasis is perfectly positioned just minutes from everything that makes St. Petersburg one of Florida’s most coveted lifestyle destinations. One block away, Lake Vista Park and Recreation Center offers an abundance of amenities: a community pool, recreation center, tennis courts, ball fields, playgrounds, and courts, all nestled in a vibrant yet peaceful setting. From here, you’re just moments from the art, culture, dining, and nightlife of Downtown St. Pete, the pristine Gulf beaches, championship golf courses, international airports, and world-renowned events, sports, and concerts. Whether you’re entertaining guests, escaping for a weekend, or embracing the lifestyle full time, this location offers it all. This is more than a home; it is a living work of art, a statement of intentional living, and a tranquil retreat crafted with vision, taste, and deep pride of ownership. Every inch has been lovingly cared for, meticulously maintained, and restored with reverence for its mid-century roots. Tucked away in the quiet, refined neighborhood of Catalina Gardens, this architecturally significant mid-century modern residence is a masterclass in design, serenity, and enduring elegance. The property is not located in a flood zone, and offers underground utilities—a true rarity and added value. Schedule a Private Showing
