An Architecturally Significant Mid-Century Masterpiece in Bahama Shores
Designed by celebrated local architect William Harvard—whose legacy includes the former iconic Pier, the Williams Park Bandstand, and Pasadena Community Church—this exceptional Mid-Century Modern residence offers a rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully restored work of architectural history in one of St. Petersburg’s most desirable neighborhoods.
Set on an expansive, pie-shaped lot, this 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath home seamlessly blends timeless design with refined modern living. Original architectural elements have been meticulously preserved, including exposed wood-beam ceilings, dramatic Zappelli African hardwood full-wall pocketing sliders opening onto walled terrace and a striking wood-burning fireplace that ingeniously converts to an outdoor grill—a true hallmark of mid-century ingenuity.
The home has undergone a comprehensive renovation with a focus on both luxury and long-term performance. In 2018, the residence was completely re-wired and re-plumbed, and the insulation was replaced, significantly improving energy efficiency and comfort. The AC system was replaced in 2024, offering peace of mind for years to come.
At the heart of the home, the designer kitchen features quartz countertops, custom Wellborn cabinetry, and premium Fisher & Paykel appliances, including a dual fuel gas range, smart hood, wine refrigerator, and cabinet-integrated double dishwasher—perfectly suited for both elegant entertaining and everyday living.
Indoor and outdoor spaces connect effortlessly through French accordion doors, opening to a private lanai and saltwater pool, creating a resort-like setting ideal for relaxed gatherings or quiet evenings at home. The pool pump was replaced in 2025, and the property includes plumbing for a future outdoor shower and outdoor kitchen (both gas and water). A built-in brick grill further enhances the outdoor entertaining experience.
Both full bathrooms are configured as ensuite retreats, with the primary suite offering marble countertops and a walk-in shower. A discreet half bath provides convenient access from the pool, garden, and main living areas. Additional features include a two-car garage with laundry, impact-rated windows, and subtle peekaboo views of Tampa Bay.
The home is fully integrated with smart technology, including a Lutron lighting system for automated interior and exterior ambiance and a Rachio smart irrigation system designed to conserve water while maintaining lush landscaping.
Located in Bahama Shores, an exceptional waterfront neighborhood known for its walkability, canopy of mature trees, and strong sense of community, this home offers a rare blend of architectural pedigree, modern efficiency, and an enviable lifestyle. Located convenient to I-275, downtown St Petersburg, and the beaches, it is truly one of the best neighborhoods in St Petersburg.
