7001 BETHEL WAY S Under contract-accepting backup offers. ?This historic Spanish Mediterranean gem was built in 1925. "Newton House" was the second house built in the coveted "Pink Streets" of Pinellas Point, located next to the Indian mound of the Indigenous Indians believed to have blessed this area to ward off storms, and it worked! This rare location is in X flood zone and experienced no flooding during the last two storms. The single-car garage is converted into a new ADU with a new bathroom and mini-split cooling system. Sitting almost one-half acre, the Cuban resort-style bungalow has three bedrooms and three bathrooms with 2433 square feet of living space. Commonly found in the Mission architecture of the 20s, the home was built around an enclosed courtyard to catch the constant breezes of Pinellas Point. The courtyard has been converted into a sun-filled atrium that still serves as the heart of the home. Extraordinary original cement Cuban tile floors are found in the living room, dining room, and office/guest bedroom to cool the interior. The original wood floors in the bedrooms and an original, individually laid marble tile kitchen floor show the details and craftsmanship of this home. Architectural details in the authentic design include rough plastered interior walls with curved corners, coved and beamed 12' ceilings, metal detailing, arches, and a stucco exterior. These historic features have been lovingly and accurately restored while bringing the home up to date with new electrical wiring, electric panel, plumbing, air conditioning, water heater, pool pump and pool resurfacing, kitchen and bathroom appliances, and fixtures. The living room features a double-sided fireplace with stone from Stone Mountain, GA, on the living room side and a traditional Mediterranean shape on the atrium side. Beautiful arches separate the dining room from the atrium with an open, airy feel. The bungalow boasts two en-suite bedrooms. A large master bedroom features two walk-in closets and a master bath with double sinks, a large shower, and an original private toilet stall. A second en-suite bedroom with a bathroom accesses the pool deck to double as a pool bath. The third bedroom smoothly transitions as an office or guest accommodation. The completely remodeled kitchen allows easy entertaining as with the rest of the house. The kitchen features open shelving, soapstone counters, and stainless steel appliances with a natural gas cooktop. Entering the private backyard, one can't miss the large, authentically crafted tiki hut, which can double as an outdoor entertainment and carport. This also survived the storms with little or no damage. It is a one-of-a-kind tropical oasis with a large, 11-foot-deep swimming pool and a resurfaced shuffleboard court. A large, circular driveway allows plenty of room for guest parking.
