127 23RD STREET N, MLS# – A4694436

This Historic Kenwood Urban Resort, one of Historic Kenwood’s most remarkable lifestyle properties, is ready for it’s next chapter. Just one block from vibrant Central Avenue and minutes from downtown St. Petersburg, this fully remodeled and turnkey furnished 1923 bungalow offers a rare combination of historic character, resort-style outdoor living, modern upgrades, and income-producing flexibility.

Featured twice on Historic Kenwood’s celebrated BungalowFest, this exceptional property blends the architectural charm of Old Florida with the conveniences today’s buyers demand. The main residence has been thoughtfully updated with a designer kitchen, luxury flooring, custom window treatments, upgraded appliances, two new commercial-grade gas water heaters, and approximately $40,000 in impact glass windows, providing a significant benefit for coastal Florida living. Structural piers have also been reinforced with a hydraulic stabilization system for added confidence and long-term peace of mind.

Beyond the front porch, the property unfolds into a private tropical retreat unlike nearly anything else in Historic Kenwood. The heated saltwater pool with bronze frog fountain serves as the centerpiece of an extraordinary outdoor environment surrounded by lush landscaping, artificial turf, expansive entertaining areas, gazebo seating, outdoor shower, irrigation well, and all-new fencing. Whether hosting friends beneath the pergola, relaxing poolside under the palms, or enjoying a quiet evening on the wraparound porch, every space has been designed to elevate daily living.

Adding even more versatility is the licensed detached apartment above the garage. Ideal for rental income, guests, extended stays, a private office, creative studio, or multigenerational living, this valuable addition expands the possibilities far beyond those of a typical bungalow.

The location is equally compelling. Enjoy exceptional walkability to Central Avenue’s restaurants, cafés, galleries, boutiques, entertainment venues, parks, and public transit while being only minutes from downtown St. Petersburg, waterfront parks, museums, and award-winning cultural attractions.

Offered turnkey furnished, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a fully curated property ready for immediate enjoyment as a primary residence, second home, seasonal retreat, or investment property. Seller will provide a one-year home warranty to the buyer for added peace of mind.

Properties that combine historic charm, resort-style outdoor living, income potential, extensive upgrades, and a premier Historic Kenwood location rarely become available. More than a home, this is a private urban resort designed for those seeking something truly out of the ordinary.
