Home of the Week: A 1938-built home in St. Pete's enchanting Driftwood neighborhood
/A 1938-built home nestled in the heart of the enchanting Driftwood neighborhood is St. Pete Rising’s Home of the Week.
Located at 2521 Driftwood Road SE, this 2,400-square-foot residence offers an unparalleled living experience in Driftwood, one of St. Petersburg’s most sought-after neighborhoods located on Big Bayou just south of 22nd Avenue South.
This Minimal Traditional home with English Traditional Vernacular influences was designed by nationally renowned artist Mark Dixon Dodd and prominent local architect Archie Parish, whom both crafted 19 homes in Driftwood between the 1930s and 1940s.
The home boasts three bedrooms, each with a renovated ensuite bath, as well as high vaulted ceilings and wide-plank oak flooring that enhance its airy ambiance.
Additional highlights include a gourmet kitchen with a natural gas stove and high-end appliances, multiple indoor and outdoor entertaining spaces, split A/C units for efficiency, an infrared sauna, and dual driveways with parking for six vehicles.
A newly installed PebbleTec saltwater pool and spa sits behind the home along with a covered poolside patio and gas fire pits.
The property, which is set on an oversized .30-acre lot, also contains a guest apartment with a full kitchen.
As a resident of Driftwood, the new owner will enjoy deeded access to a private waterfront lot with a beach and dock, perfect for sunset views over Big Bayou.
Best of all, despite recent hurricanes, this home remained completely unscathed.
The property is currently listed by Kyle Wheeler of Dean & DeWitt Properties for $1,799,000.
