Description

This Mark Dixon Dodd cottage is snuggled amongst ancient oak trees in the old south Florida neighborhood of Driftwood. This eclectic waterfront community offers quaint homes both on the water and off. The community dock and beach access is a hidden gem just a few steps from this lovely cottage. Enter through the covered front porch into a generous foyer that leads to both the living and dining rooms. High beamed ceilings in the living room bring a feeling of spaciousness enhanced by the french doors leading to the back brick patio shaded by a lovely old oak tree. Through the living room with irreplaceable original polished Coquina Limestone flooring, you will find a generously sized kitchen and breakfast room combination with primative Mexican terra cotta floor tiles. If you love entertaining, the wood deck accessed from the kitchen is the perfect spot with room for a crowd and plenty of shade. The master bedroom has been enhanced from the original house design by the addition of wall closets, a study and an expanded private master bathroom. The guest bedroom is comfortable in size and has access to the second bath across the hall. Hardwood flooring in the home is the original random-width red oak planks with walnut pegs. Really, don't miss the opportunity to see the charming bit of old Florida that rarely becomes available. Easy bike ride to downtown St. Pete. The neighborhood has its own corner restaurant, the Chattaway, where you can often hear great music from the locals and enjoy delicious burgers. They also offer a popular high tea. Very close access to I-275, All Children's Hospital, USF, the executive airport and all that downtown St. Pete has to offer. Shared Driveway, see survey.
