1924 JOHN GASSMAN HISTORIC HOME: “Yachtsman’s Paradise,” is a fine example of Moorish Revival Architecture characterized by distinctive horseshoe shaped arches and window tracery fenestration. John Gassman’s contributions to St. Petersburg ship building and Florida maritime history guided his vision for this property — an elegant home influenced by exotic coastal lands, shaded under a canopy of Royal Palms, situated on a 100 x 104 double lot for added privacy, and noteworthy construction quality. One of only three homes built of this style in St. Petersburg, The John Gassman House sits atop a full concrete basement that has been water-proofed and complete with two sump pumps to stay dry. The impressively large porch/belvedere will make the everyday feel like a great escape to paradise. Step inside where each room is bathed in an abundance of natural light from restored windows.
