Today I was showing co-op units at the Flori de Leon, a 1920s historic building in downtown St. Petersburg. Living in downtown St Pete is all about the lifestyle, so we walked the two blocks to the building.
From the penthouse unit and common areas on the 7th (top) floor, we were able to see the nearby amenities: the movie theater, the shops, the outdoor restaurants - the waterfront! From the living room of the penthouse unit (priced at an amazing $99,900) you can see the sunrise over Tampa Bay and to the west you can watch the sunset. You can watch the sailboats as well as the planes coming and going from Albert Whitted Airport.
Returning to the office, we stopped at Marketplace Express for coffee, and sat outside at one of their tables across from Straub Park and the Museum of Fine Arts, watching the people, the dogs, the activities - even the horse drawn carriage as it meandered past. This is what buying and living in downtown St Petersburg is all about - walking to everything you want, and having so much to choose from.
