682 Roser Park Dr S, Saint Petersburg, FL 33701

Welcome Home to Roser Park - here's your chance to own a piece of St Petersburg history. This was one of the first homes in the neighborhood, designed by Mr. Roser, the inventor of the Fig Newton, as a hybrid between Key West and Craftsman architectural styles. Start your day with a cup of coffee on the breezy front porch while listening to the sounds of the creek below. Greet your guests in the grand foyer, entertain them in the parlor - the large living room with a cozy fireplace and lots of windows. The formal dining room looks out across the porch to the yard and the peaceful view, the sun room has walls of windows and a door out to the yard. Upstairs features a large primary bedroom and bath, two other spacious bedrooms, a second full bathroom, a bright office or studio room overlooking the creek and park, and laundry area with full-size washing machine and dryer. Situated on an oversized lot in a premium location at the top of a hill with frontage to Roser Park and Booker Creek. The yard has room for a pool, gardens, or for any type of outdoor enjoyment. There is a shared garage with an upstairs loft space. When the home was built in 1910, a contest was held to name it, and the neighbors chose "House Beautiful". We think you will agree! The house has its own plaque on the Booker Creek sidewalk "Outdoor Museum". And now, this historic home has brand new bones! The perfect blank canvas ready for your personal touches!
