About this home
Your Downtown St. Petersburg Pied-à-Terre awaits you whether you’re a snow bird dreaming of a winter escape, delighting in stylish weekend get-aways, or settling into a full-time home steeped in history. Iconic Beach Drive offers a vibrant arts and entertainment scene with restaurants, museums, galleries, nightlife spots, marina, waterfront dining, bike trails, Vinoy Resort, St. Pete Pier, and Saturday Morning Market. The Flori de Leon is a 76-unit boutique residence built in 1927 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This downtown gem was once the winter residence of New York Yankees baseball legends Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. Beautifully remodeled and sunny fifth-floor 1-bedroom, 1-bath apartment, with built-in home office is move-in ready. Full of historic character with original oak floors, vintage bathroom tiles, and a private balcony for enjoying the Florida Bay breeze. All residents of this close-knit 55+ community enjoy shared rooftop terraces with 360° views of Tampa Bay for sunset gatherings or quiet morning coffee. Elegantly furnished lounges, including a grand piano, preserve the vintage charm. Amenities include twin courtyard gardens, a fitness room, business center, on-site laundry, hobby workshop, bike and personal storage. On-site property manager and maintenance staff offer a secure “lock-and-leave” residence. Your comprehensive HOA simplifies ownership because the fee covers electricity, gas, water, sewer, trash removal, escrow and reserve funds, building insurance and maintenance of the building and grounds. Electrical and plumbing were updated in 2020 to meet building code and accessibility requirements, only your own personal touches are needed. This pet-friendly cooperative is a cash purchase.
