Please note that the Flori de Leon is a 55+ community and all sales must be cash.  Located in the heart of the city, the Flori de Leon is a short walk to the cafes, shops, museums and parks of downtown Saint Petersburg. Built in 1927 in the popular Mediterranean-Revival style, it was the home of baseball legends Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. Today it retains the vintage charm of the 1920's and 30's with two elegantly furnished seventh-floor lounges.  A beautiful grand piano beckons Cole Porter enthusiasts.  Two roof-top terraces with views of the city and the bay are popular gathering places in the evenings.  From the crown molding, the meticulousy preserved oak flooring to the original crystal door knobs and built-in cabinets and shelving, residence 509 is a classic reminder of a bygone era.  It is unique in that it has two full bathrooms and a bonus room that can be a separate dining area or a study/den. Numerous windows and a set of French doors leading to the Juliette balcony allow natural light to flow throughout. Whether your "pied de terre" for getaways to St. Petersburg or your full-time residence, you will be captivated by its charm and character.
