Historic, unique decorated homes open for holiday tours BY NICK STUBBS Times Correspondent

The holidays are all about home—staying warm and cozy, cheery music and the aroma of baking cookies in the air. It’s also a time for sharing, and many Tampa Bay homeowners play host to family, friends and neighbors. Some take that hospitality to a whole new level. ’Tis the time for holiday home tours along the Suncoast. Some have been running for years, and for many it wouldn’t be the

In its 21st year, the Old Northeast Candlelight Tour of Homes is being held Dec. 9 from 3 to 8 p.m. Historic homes in the neighborhood near downtown St. Petersburg will be decorated with style and those on the tour will ride to each one on a trolley.

What does $155,000 buy in a Tampa Bay house these days? If you’re willing to sacrifice space for price, you might be able to find a nicely remodeled house for $155,000 in Tampa Bay. But forget about finding one in the most sought-after neighborhoods.

BY SUSAN TAYLOR MARTIN Times Senior Correspondent

SaVannah Wright, a former college cheerleader who now designs cheerleading uniforms, had been a reluctant renter for the past few years. She wanted to buy a house but didn’t think she could afford one — until she spoke with a loan broker. “It kind of opened my eyes to the possibility,’’ said Wright, 25. “A mortgage would be equal to or less than rent.’’ In October, Wright paid $155,000 for a 952-square-foot bungalow near Tampa’s Seminole Heights. Not only was the house affordable for her, it epitomizes in many ways what “affordable’’ means today in Tampa Bay’s still-hot housing market. For anyone looking to buy a home, a classic rule of thumb is to pay no more than three times gross annual income. With the bay area’s median household income now at $52,212, that would price an affordable home at $156,636. No houses in Hillsborough and Pinellas counties sold for that exact amount in October — the most recent month for which figures are available — but 14 went for close to that at $155,000. So what does $155,000 buy in a house these days in Tampa Bay’s largest, most expensive counties? Here’s what we found: • If you’re willing to sacrifice square footage for price, you might be able to get an up-

dated house like Wright’s. Go above 1,000 square feet, and it’s almost impossible to find anything that’s move-in ready for $155,000. • Rising prices have limited the number of flippers in the market, but some are still buying. Investors purchased three of October’s $155,000 houses, all fixer-uppers but roomy enough that they could command much higher prices when remodeled. • Forget about getting a $155,000 house in Tampa Bay’s most sought-after neighborhoods such as Tampa’s Palma Ceia or St. Petersburg’s Old Northeast. There are deals to be had, though, in some upand-coming areas. One of those is St. Petersburg’s Central Oak Park, just west of U.S. 19 and near popular Historic Kenwood. In 2016, Zillow predicted Central Oak Park would be among the five Tampa Bay areas with the biggest price jumps that year. It wasn’t wrong: Houses that sold for an average of $55 per square foot in 2015 were going for $86 per square foot a year later. In October, Craig Palombine bought a 856-square-foot house for $155,000 — $181 per square foot. “It’s a fair price,’’ he said, “look at the neighborhood.’’ Palombine, 27, was drawn to Central Oak Park because it is not in a flood zone, has a be-

low-average crime rate and is relatively close to downtown St. Petersburg and his job as community association manager of a Kenneth City condo complex. A growing number of homes in the quiet, leafy neighborhood are occupied by owners, not renters. Thanks to his military service, Palombine was able to get a VA loan with no downpayment. That freed up money for the substantial amount of work left to be done on the two-bedroom, one-bath house. Although move-in ready, it needs new windows, a water heater and a new air-conditioning system. On a recent weekend, Palombine’s parents, visiting from Pittsburgh, were hacking away at the overgrowth and putting in posts for a contemporary-style fence with horizontal slats. “We came down to help keep the costs down,’’ Nancy Palombine said. A few miles north, in an unincorporated area just outside the St. Petersburg city limits, a retiree from New York paid $155,000 in October for a 924-square-foot bungalow. The clean two-bedroom, twobath house has some upgrades including a backyard deck and a remodeled bathroom. But the second bathroom is in the garage, the kitchen is dated and the house is just one door away from busy 49th Street. The buyer “was used to

much more space than we have in Florida for this price range so I kind of had to explain to her about our bungalow lifestyle and convince her that less is more,’’ said Aimee Rock, the selling agent. Rock said the woman started her search in Spring Hill and also considered Palmetto, where “you get just a little more house for the money.’’ But after two months of looking, she and her daughter, who lives with her, decided they liked the “vibe’’ of St. Petersburg. In general, Rock said, a nice $155,000 house is hard to come by. “They got lucky with that one,’’ she said. “We had looked at a lot of properties and there were a lot of flipped homes that weren’t done properly that would probably be more work than something well-maintained like this.’’ Ernesto Perez and his wife paid $155,000 in October for their house in Pinellas Park, an area where money also tends to go further than it does in St. Petersburg. Although it too is under 1,000 square feet, the house has a large fenced yard and an updated kitchen with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. The couple, first-time home buyers who moved from Cuba a few years ago, also looked in St. Petersburg, Largo and Seminole, but chose Pinellas Park to be close to relatives and his

job with a tile company. A big bonus: The house needed no work at all. “This house is of my dreams,’’ Perez said. In Hillsborough in October, $155,000 bought two larger houses, both foreclosures. In the Bayport area off W Hillsborough Avenue, an investor paid cash for a house with nearly 1,800 square feet. Pluses: vaulted ceilings and a tiled backyard patio. Minus: poor curb appeal. The main entrance is on the side, leaving the front dominated by the garage door. Bayport, though, is another up-and-coming area beginning to catch on with buyers priced out of neighborhoods closer to downtown Tampa and St. Petersburg. In the last six months, other similarly sized houses have sold for as much as $235,00. In Valrico, a bedroom community of Tampa, another investor snapped up a 1,453-square-foot house for cash shortly after it hit the market. It has skylights, a kitchen island and a garden tub, but needed so much work that “it wouldn’t meet qualifications for financing,’’ selling agent Dolores Garcia said. Depending on the cost of renovations, the three-bedroom, two-bath house could potentially reap the investor a tidy profit: Sale prices in the last six months have topped

$250,000 for dozens of other 3/2 houses in the area. Wright, the former University of South Florida cheerleader, thinks she got an excellent deal on her own $155,000 house even though it’s tiny by most standards. The seller, an investor, had completely redone it with a new kitchen, bathroom and trendy plank tile flooring. “It’s a flipped home so everything is brand new, which kind of alleviated the stress of home buying,’’ Wright said. “It’s just me by myself, I didn’t need anything bigger.’’ Wright, who coaches USF cheerleaders and designs uniforms for high school squads, had been working in Orlando but was moving back to the bay area. The seller had several offers equal to or higher than hers but was won over by a letter she wrote praising his renovations and telling something about herself. “I gave him my background and how I missed Tampa ever since I left and that this house felt like home,’’ Wright said. “I told him this would be my first home and hopefully my forever home.’’ It must have been quite a letter. The seller even paid the closing costs. This story was originally published on tampabaytimes.com 11/21/2018. For more stories like this, visit tampabay.com.

“This is the home of my dreams,’’ Ernesto Perez said of this 2/1 home with 920 square feet he and his wife bought in Pinellas Park.

Holiday from 1H Old Hyde Park Home Tour – today For those on the other side of the bay, the Old Hyde Park holiday home tour is today from 1-4 p.m. It will feature ﬁve historic homes on South Newport Avenue. Tickets are $30 at the ticket booth located at the corner of South Newport and West Morrison Avenue. The event is a fundraiser for Hyde Park Preservation, Inc., and proceeds will be used to fund neighborhood and community projects. The tour is a hit every year due to the historic architecture in the neighborhood, which was established in the 1880s. “The Old Hyde Park Home Tour is a wonderful afternoon spent touring beautiful historic homes under our old oak-treelined street of South Newport Avenue,” said Elizabeth Christenberry, the preservation group’s fundraising chair. “It’s an opportunity to experience historic architecture, interior design, and entertainment along the way.”

The red paint scheme in this home on a previous Old Hyde Park Home Tour was made for the holidays. This year’s tour features homes on South Newport Avenue.

Handmade cards, jewelry and other items will be available for purchase. Proceeds fund various community causes.

Old Northeast Candlelight Tour of Homes – Dec. 9 “It’s a tradition,” said Ann Goldman, who is helping organize the Dec. 9 tour put on by the Historic Old Northeast Neighborhood Association. “It will be a very festive event.” One of the homes will feature live piano music, and a guitarist will be playing in another. The tour runs from 3-8 p.m. and tickets are $25 in advance or $30 at the door. They are

available online at www.honna. org. In addition to supporting neighborhood causes, proceeds will help St. Petersburg’s Sunken Gardens Forever Foundation. Open-air trolleys will shuttle visitors between homes, allowing them to tour the neighborhood along the way. Many of the homes in Old Northeast are more than 100 years old, and Goldman said the tour, now in its 21st year, will deliver as

promised: “Stroll the 100-yearold hex block sidewalks. Listen for bell ringers and holiday music. Enjoy new home renovations and festive decorations. Pick up great decorating ideas,” the organization’s ﬂyer reads. Brandon Service League Holiday Tour of Homes – Dec. 8 Another long-running event is the 26th Annual Holiday Tour of Homes staged by

Happy holiday season! (Doesn’t it seem like summer just ended?) Hanukkah begins today, and with seven days of celebration, we’ve got ’till Dec. 10 to scramble for gifts. Just 23 days to plant, pot and order for Christmas. No worries. We’ve got this, gardeners! Your friends have creative ideas for budget-friendly, nature-loving gifts for everyone on your list — gardener or not. Here are some highlights from the 2018 Diggin’ readers survey. Find more (they’re all really good!) at www.digginﬂadirt.com

Kat Klingerman of St. Petersburg, a hydroponic gardener, selects gifts from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds (www.rareseeds .com), along with seeds from her garden. Longtime veggie gardener Chip Fulp of Tampa loves Baker Creek’s The Whole Seed Catalog, which includes recipes, growing tips, heirloom plant histories and beautiful photos. It’s $9.95 at www.rareseeds.com. (The company’s basic catalogue is free.) Marianne Smith of St. Petersburg recommends Mary’s Heirloom Seeds (www. marysheirloomseeds.com) — for “a unique selection of 99-cent packs.”

2. Tools For Laura Gauthier of Tampa, Tampa Garden Club member, the Bag Buddy Bag Holder frame for garden leaf bags has been a game-changer for her husband. “So inexpensive but so helpful!” $23 at amazon.com — https:// amzn.to/2A2Jur8 Longtime Tampa gardener Doris Youdal says the corded electric Alligator garden lopper is a workhorse at her home and became a much-used gift for a friend. Great for whacking bushes and branches, it’s $67 at homedepot.com — https://thd. co/2QfnSli. A more expensive, cordless variety is now available; she hasn’t tried it. Horticulturist and chef Paul Zamoda of Riverview relies on his Joyce Chen stainless steel scissors indoors and out. From

If there’s an obsessed garden railroad hobbyist in your life — or just someone who loves succulents — Doug Brainard of Spring Hill recommends Mountain Crest Gardens, https:// mountaincrestgardens.com/. He says it oﬀers an excellent selection of miniature plants suitable for Cental Florida garden railroads. “Succulents are great for cool Florida winters and love the sandhills (for drainage) in our area,” he says. Water and fertilize regularly, trim when they get leggy, and protect from freezes, he advises.

snipping herbs to trimming ﬁsh ﬁns, they’re in near constant use. They’re available in multiple sizes; his favorite costs about $22 at https://amzn.to/2KfXHFV. 3. Accessories Make harvesting those bountiful veggie gardens easy, say Deedra Willaford and Eric Law of Greens ’N Things Urban Farm in St. Petersburg. Easy-carry baskets that can haul a load are fair-trade, hand-woven Bolga baskets. Find them locally at open-air markets, and Earth Origins Market and Sleeperwoods Gallery in St. Pete for $20-$40.

1. Seeds (this was the No. 1 favorite gift idea in our survey) Self-described “lazy gardener” Patricia Kidder of Gulfport says Everglades tomatoes are easyto-grow natives that produce marble-sized fruits with near zero effort. (I can vouch for that!) It’s a hearty gift ﬁt for kids, new gardeners and veterans, and the plants should thrive through winter if protected from freezes.

LouAnn Brockett of Port Richey, who runs West Pasco Plant Swap and Trade, is making homemade seed packets and ﬁlling them with native milkweed seeds. Native milkweed is the host plant for monarch butterﬂies, which are steadily declining.

Got friends with chickens? Tanja Vidovic, a sustainable edibles gardener in Safety Harbor, recommends the egg-collecting apron. It has plenty of pockets for safely tucking away indi-

vidual eggs as they’re gathered. Make it yourself or buy it at Etsy’s Uniquely More, https://etsy. me/2Q3Ff8P. Exterior designer Anni Ellis of Tampa says her guilty indulgence is elbow-length gloves from https://foxglovesinc.com/ products/foxgloves-elle. They’re great for anyone tired of hiding scratched arms after a weekend of trimming. (Me!) “$30 pricey, but come on … the colors are FAB!” Anni says. Wendy Friday, a nature lover from Hillsborough and Citrus counties, suggests a new book, A Step-by-Step Guide to a Florida Native Yard by Ginny Stibolt and Marjorie Shropshire, about $13 at Barnes and Noble, https:// bit.ly/2QWcp7z. Pair it with a membership to the Florida Native Plant Society, $35 per

year at https://www.fnps.org/ participate/membershipinfo. Thank you to all the thoughtful and creative gardeners who shared gift ideas and photos. I loved every one! Better yet, each suggestion came wrapped in a sincere desire to help fellow gardeners, the planet, or both. Gardeners truly are the nicest people!

Curb appeal & garden Timely Tendings | Holiday plants Living Christmas trees are a fun, lasting way to celebrate the holiday season that can then be planted to provide a lifetime of enjoyment. Unfortunately a commonly sold plant for this is the Norfolk Island pine. If planted in the landscape this tree will rapidly grow to staggering heights (up to 80’ tall!). Large surface roots break sidewalks, patios, pipes, driveways, and more. It’s best to keep these plants in pots. More suitable native choices for our area include the Southern red cedar (Juniperus silicicola) and the sand pine (Pinus clausa). Both are drought tolerant, but are not very wind resistant — so keep them away from the house when planting. Or, for another fun twist you can plant them, and then harvest them to create an indoor tree in 5-7 years. If you’d rather have someone

Bye bye oﬃces, hello more condos in Tampa’s 50-plus-story Riverwalk Place BY SUSAN TAYLOR MARTIN Times Senior Correspondent

TAMPA — When developer Larry Feldman announced plans for a mixed-used tower abutting Tampa’s Riverwalk three years ago, it called for 14 floors of office space. No more. Feldman and Two Roads Development, partners in Riverwalk Place, revealed today that the 50-plus story tower will be totally residential except for restaurants on the ground

floor. “A developer’s job is to fill demand,” Feldman said, ‘‘and the demand tells us people want condos.” Even before tonight’s formal opening of an opulent sales center, prospective buyers had placed deposits on condos valued at nearly $70 million. And 20 percent of those buyers reserved two units with the

idea of joining them into one 4,000-square-foot-plus condo. Feldman and Reid Boren of Two Roads said they realized there was a market for upscale, owner-occupied condos downtown when an unexpected number of potential buyers inquired about parking and storage. “Investors typically don’t ask those kinds of questions,” Feldman said. So far, all of those with reservations are from the Tampa Bay area and have paid required deposits of $25,000 instead of the $10,000 more typical for this market. “That’s a show of commitment” that they intend to go through with the purchase, Boren said. Units are priced from $600,000 to more than $2 million. Two Roads, which has developed several South Florida condo towers, linked up with Feldman last year after a previous partner sued him. The suit alleged that Feldman, who owns several Tampa Bay office buildings and is known primarily as an office developer, wanted more office space in the proposed tower than the market warranted. That case has been settled, and the project appears on track for a construction start next year. The sail-shaped tower with water views from every unit will rise at Ashley Drive and Whiting Street on the site of the doomed Trump Tower Tampa. More than 250 guests were invited to a gala at Feldman’s Wells Fargo Center, which is across from the proposed Riverwalk Place and contains the

Larry Feldman, president and chief executive of Feldman Equities, talks about some of the design elements of the Riverwalk Place tower planned for downtown Tampa. A sales center that opens this week will give future residents the opportunity to touch and feel some of the luxury appliances, cabinets, and other features of the proposed condominiums.

sales center for the project. Part of the center has been designed to resemble a condo with luxury Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances and a striking Italian-made tub in the bathroom. “The key is to make sure buyers have a really good sense of how their homes are going to look,” Feldman said. Prospective buyers can “see” out of their condo, thanks to a virtual realty video that shows day and nighttime views from every floor and every unit in what will be the tallest building on Florida’s west coast. The sales center also contains a small version of what will be the tower’s lobby, designed by Thom Filicia of TV’s Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. It will have a concierge desk partially covered in leather,

soaring stone walls with a distinctive grain and large, and cream-colored floor tiles with inlaid strips of brass instead of grout. “I want the lobby to feel modern and simple and clean, but also so it will age well,” said Filicia, who bustled about hanging photos and setting out dishes of pistachios in the hours before guests arrived. Why pistachios and not almonds? someone asked. “Because people won’t eat them,” Filicia said. “They don’t want to open the shells.” This story was originally published on tampabaytimes.com 11/7/2018.
