About this home
A Rare Waterfront Estate in Iconic Driftwood — A Tropical Sanctuary on Big Bayou. Welcome to one of the most extraordinary residential offerings in St. Petersburg. Nestled on over half an acre (.57 acres / 24,790 sq ft) in the coveted Driftwood neighborhood, this stately two-story, 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home offers nearly 4,000 square feet of living space and 115 feet of direct water frontage on Big Bayou on the open waters of Tampa Bay and just minutes to downtown St Pete and the Gulf beaches of Pinellas County. Set at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this property is enveloped in lush tropical vegetation, offering unmatched privacy and a sense of serenity that feels worlds away—yet it’s just less than 2 miles from downtown St. Pete. As part of the exclusive Driftwood enclave—home to only 44 residences. The lot is flat and expansive, with a concrete seawall, private dock, and boat lift—all with no bridge restrictions, making this a boater’s paradise. The view is spectacular, with wide-open water vistas and a peaceful natural backdrop that feels more like a private nature preserve than a suburban setting. Inside, the home boasts great bones, classic colonial architecture, and flexible design potential. The floor plan is open and airy, designed to maximize the water views, with large windows, high ceilings, and generous room sizes. With recent updates including refinished hardwood floors, new upstairs flooring, fresh interior paint, landscaping with irrigation, and a new pool pump, the home is move-in ready while still offering opportunities for further personalization. Additional highlights include: 2025 Roof. Two wood-burning fireplaces. Whole-house water filtration system. HVAC systems (2021 and 2025). Covered balconies. Circular driveway. 8.87 ft elevation. A salt water pool and expansive backyard. Best of all, this home remained unscathed through recent hurricanes, a true testament to its solid block construction and ideal siting (8.87 elevation.) Driftwood is one of St. Petersburg’s most treasured and storied neighborhoods—a hidden gem beloved by artists, scholars, and nature lovers alike. With its storybook streets, towering oaks, and old Florida charm, it truly feels like the setting of a classic film—a magical, movie-set lifestyle right here in Pinellas County. Whether your style leans modern, transitional, or traditional Boca Grande coastal, this property is a rare canvas to create your waterfront dream home. Come experience the unmatched beauty and soul of Driftwood. This is more than a home—it’s a lifestyle, a sanctuary, and an opportunity that rarely comes along.
