This contemporary residence is truly one of a kind. Tucked beneath a majestic live oak in the sought-after Old Northeast neighborhood, where historic bungalows line the charming streets, this architectural masterpiece stands out with its sleek lines, inventive design, and striking presence both inside and out. Featured on HGTV’s Modern Interiors and dubbed a “Modern Marvel” by the St. Pete Times, the home is a flawless marriage of minimalist design and warm, inviting interiors. Built in 2001 by designer J. Milic, renowned for his commitment to modern architecture, cleverly preserves the soul of the original structure by retaining three of its original walls. Inside the main home, you'll find 3 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, a dedicated laundry room, and an abundance of artfully designed features. There is also a detached garage with a studio apartment, complete with a full bath. Every inch of the interior is meticulously crafted, from the floating staircase suspended by stainless-steel cables and resting on invisible wall-mounted ledges, to the soaring double-height ceilings and custom copper front door. White ash hardwood floors with purpleheart inlay add warmth and richness to the space, while architecturally placed windows flood the home with natural light. The kitchen is a chef’s dream, featuring custom maple plywood cabinetry with opaque plexiglass fronts, mahogany accents, quartz countertops, a breakfast bar, stainless steel appliances, and a Wolf induction stove. A built-in bar, large angled wine rack, and curved cabinetry showcase the complexity of the woodwork and the home’s fine craftsmanship. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a serene retreat, accompanied by a second bedroom, a guest bath, a loft-style office, and a covered lanai perfect for morning coffee. The second-floor library is equally impressive, with 30-inch plywood floor tiles coated in concrete paint and built-in bookcases backed with translucent fiberglass, allowing light to pour through to the main level. Stainless steel architectural cables serve as sleek, modern railings throughout the upper level. The home’s thoughtful layout eliminates hallways and dead space, creating a seamless flow. Each space is intentionally designed to maximize both function and beauty. Step outside to discover a tranquil, low-maintenance oasis. Multiple patio areas are surrounded by lush zero-scape landscaping, a masonry privacy wall, and professionally installed turf. The detached garage, accessible from the alley, includes a second-story in-law suite with a full bath and kitchenette, ideal for guests or rental potential. Rare for Old Northeast, in addition to the garage space this home also features a front-loading driveway leading to a covered carport, along with plenty of off-street parking. Every design element, from the built-in millwork and ample closet storage to the suspended staircase and light-filtering architectural details has been thoughtfully executed. This home is a rare blend of form and function, modern style and timeless comfort, all just minutes from vibrant downtown St. Petersburg.
