St. Petersburg

Many of this area’s most beautiful Spanish-style homes were built during the 1920s real estate boom. A renovated historic 5,374-square-foot estate stands on three-quarters of an acre, minutes from the beach. Inside, four bedrooms and four baths include architectural details for old-house lovers: four fireplaces, hardwood floors, arches and beamed ceilings. Outside are ivied walls—and even a secret garden or two.

Santa Rosa Beach

The Panhandle practically invented the coastal take on old-fashioned Southern cottage architecture. This Santa Rosa Beach home on close to a quarter of an acre in the premium watercolor community is informal and beachy, with two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, oak hardwood floors and a porch facing a conservation area. With high ceilings, “floating” island kitchen cabinets and ample storage space, the house has been smartly designed to feel bigger than its 1,464 square feet of living area. The beach—and neighboring community of Seaside—are just a short stroll away.
