Description

Nestled along the serene shores of Big Bayou just south of 22nd Avenue South, Driftwood is more than just a neighborhood; it's a living testament to the intertwined threads of history, nature, and architectural ingenuity. From the moment one steps foot into Driftwood, there's an unmistakable sense of belonging, as if the whispers of the past and the embrace of nature converge to create a unique ambiance. At its heart lies a collection of 19 homes, each a masterpiece of design crafted during the 1930s to 1940s by the acclaimed artist Mark Dixon Dodd and the esteemed local architect Archie Parish. These architectural gems, standing proudly as guardians of time, offer a glimpse into the past while seamlessly blending with the lush coastal sub-tropical hammock that cradles the neighborhood. Amidst a dense canopy of trees, a vibrant tapestry of jungle-like garden landscapes thrives, a testament to the neighborhood's commitment to harmonizing with its natural surroundings. Once frequented by Native Americans, remnants of their presence linger, hinting at a rich history buried within the soil. The echoes of pioneer homesteads, belonging to Abel Miranda and John Bethell, the pioneers who first laid roots in lower Pinellas County, resonate through the land, serving as silent guardians of a bygone era. Welcome to your dream oasis in the historic Driftwood neighborhood of St. Petersburg, Florida! This timeless masterpiece, built in 1938, seamlessly blends classic charm with modern luxury, offering a truly exceptional living experience. Nestled on a sprawling double lot, this stunning property boasts unparalleled privacy and tranquility, enveloped by lush tropical landscaping and swaying palm trees. As you enter through the wooden gates, you're greeted by a picturesque courtyard. Step inside the main residence and be captivated by the elegant design and impeccable craftsmanship. The spacious floor plan spans across two levels connected by an elevator lift and custom stairs, featuring three bedrooms and three and a half baths in the main residence and a one bedroom, one bathroom guest house with office and kitchenette, offering ample space for comfortable living and entertaining. Sunlit rooms adorned with hardwood floors and intricate crown molding exude warmth and sophistication. The gourmet kitchen is a chef's delight, equipped with top-of-the-line appliances, custom cabinetry, and stone countertops. Gather with loved ones in the formal dining room, illuminated by a sparkling chandelier, or unwind in the inviting living room, complete with a cozy fireplace and breathtaking views of the water. There is also an outdoor kitchen for entertaining on our beautiful spring days. Retreat to the luxurious master suite, where a private balcony awaits to showcase mesmerizing sunsets over the city. Pamper yourself in the spa-like ensuite bath, featuring a jetted soaking tub, dual vanities, and a separate shower with steam shower feature. Outside, paradise awaits in your own backyard oasis.
