NEW PRICE! SELLER MOTIVATED! 1910 HISTORICAL home overlooking scenic Booker Creek & Park on premier lot. ROSER PARK IS IN THE NATIONAL REGISTRY. Built by Charles Martin Roser and funded by selling his culinary invention, the Fig Newton Cookie recipe and factory to Nabisco. Mr. Roser built this home and others. Story goes that he also built a Library and School for St Petersburg. This Grand Lady calls to a special buyer interested in returning to a bygone era. Enjoy a mint julep on expansive front porch. Not your average vintage home. So many updates: Roof- 2019- clips added 2020, 2 HVAC systems with new ducting- 2019, Plumbing to the drains-2019, Electrical throughout- 2019, original windows restored to working order, Foundation stabilized by LRE, concrete steps repaired.

Stairs lead to large landing leading to Primary Bedroom with private bath & walk in closet. 2 more bedrooms plus an office with windows on 3 sides overlooking creek. A 2nd full bath for other bedrooms. Laundry with new LG washer/dryer installed upstairs. Separate one car garage. You only need to restore & paint exterior and restore floors. Choose your own colors. Anything else is cosmetic and up to you. So close to downtown St Pete, 275 to Tampa or south. Be part of the St Pete experience- so many restaurants, Dali, museums, events, waterfront, the Pier. At your fingertips. The hard work has been done for you. Come and fall in love. Love history and vintage? Prior owner loved for 25 years. These owners loved for 6 years. When Mr. Roser originally listed this home he described it as, "With winding steps leading up from the drive...beautiful homes sit on the very banks of babbling Booker Creek...It's wonderfully beautiful semi-tropical scenery with its countless flowers, plants, and shrubs transformed into nature's garden." See sign posted in park across street proclaiming her "House Beautiful". She has just survived 2 hurricanes & countless events in past 115 years. Majestic she stands. This is for that one special buyer(s) who appreciates all she offers. Be the one to finish returning this Grand home to it's original splendor. Come and be her caretaker. Be part of history. A very special part.
