Offered for the very first time by its original owners, this enchanting 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath, 2-car garage pool home spans nearly 3,300 sq ft and draws inspiration from the timeless charm and elegance of New Orleans’ Garden District. A rare blend of sophistication and warmth, this residence is a true architectural treasure in one of St. Petersburg’s most storied and beloved neighborhoods. Enter through wrought iron gates into a brick-paved courtyard that sets the stage for what lies beyond. The dramatic 29-foot foyer welcomes you with grandeur and opens seamlessly into the formal living and dining rooms. Four sets of French doors lead to the expansive 17’ x 33’ courtyard, complete with a classic gurgling fountain – the perfect backdrop for al fresco dining or evening entertaining under the stars. The generously sized family room invites relaxation, featuring a built-in bookcase and wet bar ideal for hosting. The efficient kitchen includes a cozy eat-in area, while the adjoining den – often used as a music room – is finished with timeless tile flooring and a powder room that’s truly a “jewel box.” Out back, the party-sized pool (16’ x 33’) is accompanied by a full bath – perfect for poolside guests. Meander along the oak-shaded walkways and wooden decks that wind through the backyard, offering a touch of magic and serenity. All four bedrooms are situated on one side of the home, including a primary suite that impresses with a glamorous ensuite and private entry via a long, closet-lined hallway. Set in the much sought-after neighborhood of Jungle Prada, you’ll enjoy easy access to waterfront parks, a boat launch, and a scenic fishing and observation pier overlooking Boca Ciega Bay — all just a short stroll away. What a fabulous opportunity to experience the mystery and character of this extraordinary area and make it your dream come true. Items to Note: hurricane impact windows. This is more than a home – it’s a lifestyle, steeped in grace, history, and enduring character. Let the magic of this French Chateau sweep you off your feet.
