Property Description

Built in 1925 by a sea captain on land once owned by Hamilton Disston, a pioneer in Florida’s early waterfront development, this extraordinary residence offers the rare opportunity to own a true piece of coastal history. Boasting 107 feet of prime waterfront, this is shoreline that simply cannot be recreated, with quick boating access to the Bay and Gulf while being just 3 miles from vibrant downtown St. Petersburg and a short drive to the area’s award-winning Gulf beaches. Inside, 3,240 square feet blends timeless architectural detail with modern comfort, featuring six bedrooms, three and a half baths, a dramatic grand staircase, beautifully refinished original hardwood floors, custom built-ins, coffered ceilings, portrait moldings, stained glass transom windows, and an original chandelier with fixtures sourced from a historic See’s Candy store in San Francisco. The waterfront primary suite offers serene water views and a spa-inspired bath, creating a private retreat within this storied home. Having stood strong for over a century, the property now lives like a modern build thanks to extensive renovations including triple-pane windows, new AC, updated plumbing and electrical, refreshed landscaping, and meticulous restoration throughout, nothing has been overlooked. Located within a close-knit waterfront community where neighbors gather over a glass of wine, sunset socials, and neighborhood events, and just a few blocks from a beloved neighborhood coffee shop, two wonderful local restaurants, and a charming neighborhood gathering spot, this home offers not only architectural distinction but a lifestyle rooted in connection. For the buyer seeking something truly one-of-a-kind, a property with irreplaceable waterfront frontage, authentic 1925 craftsmanship, and historical provenance that could never be duplicated under today’s building standards, this is a rare offering that stands in a category of its own. This is more than a home; it is history, architecture, and waterfront lifestyle wrapped into one irreplaceable opportunity that must be experienced in person to fully appreciate.
