About Saint Petersburg's Old Pasadena

There are some old-fashioned things that I love to see in modern homes. These push button light switches are one of them.

Yes, I know the advantages of the swish of a finger on a pad, or the tap that will return the exact degree of lighting when you leave the room, but ...

You don't have to figure out what and where to touch the switch. Just push the button that' sticking out the most.

There's also something wonderfully rewarding from the feel of pressing the switch.

These are switches (with shiny brass face plates) in a $799,000 restored 1912 home in Old Pasadena in St Petersburg Florida.

Sunday Open Houses haven't been generating much traffic for us in St. Petersburg, Florida - maybe's it's the sunny days for boating to nearby islands; maybe it's the Bucs football game; maybe they just want to look online.

So - let's vary things a bit - we'll have a Saturday afternoon Open House!

This home at 7327 2nd Ave S in Old Pasadena will be open tomorrow, Saturday, November 1st, from 1-4.

The main house has 3 bedrooms with 2.5 baths, and there's a detached 3 car garage with a 1 bedroom 1 bath guest quarters over it, all with a lovely walled garden in back. It's $799,000.

Old Pasadena is a historic neighborhood on the west side of St. Petersburg, bordered on the west by Boca Ciega Bay.
