325 22ND AVENUE NE ST PETERSBURG FL 33704 MLS #TB8494085

Located in the heart of St. Petersburg’s coveted Historic Old Northeast, with tranquil water views of Coffee Pot Bayou, this architecturally refined residence by MTBH — Modern Tampa Bay Homes — represents a rare intersection of contemporary design and one of the city’s most established neighborhoods. Completed in October 2021, the home spans 3,164 square feet on an 8,368-square-foot lot and offers four bedrooms and four and a half baths, thoughtfully composed beneath soaring ceilings and a clean, modern silhouette.

From the moment of entry, the home reads as intentional and composed. Wide-plank European white oak flooring runs throughout, grounding the interiors in a warm, natural palette, while expansive southern exposure fills the space with soft, consistent light. Select sightlines subtly orient toward the bayou, reinforcing the home’s connection to its surroundings. Designer lighting selections — from sculptural chandeliers to subtle recessed accents — create a layered, gallery-like atmosphere that elevates the open-concept layout.

The kitchen is both architectural and functional, anchored by a large central island and outfitted with a professional-grade Dacor Graphite Stainless appliance suite, including induction cooking and double ovens. Adjacent living spaces unfold seamlessly, framed by 10-foot sliding glass doors that fully disappear into the wall, dissolving the boundary between indoors and out.

The primary suite is designed as a private retreat, featuring its own terrace — an ideal vantage point for morning light and glimpses of the bayou — along with generous walk-in closets with custom built-ins and a sense of quiet separation from the rest of the home. Throughout, the layout offers flexibility without sacrificing cohesion — spaces that can shift effortlessly between entertaining, working, and everyday living.

Outdoor living is equally considered. A heated saltwater pool sits at the center of a fully enclosed, landscaped yard, accompanied by multiple lounging and dining areas. The outdoor kitchen, complete with built-in barbecue, and a dedicated outdoor shower create a setting that feels both resort-like and private.

Beneath the design, the home is supported by a fully integrated smart home system, seamlessly controlling lighting, climate, and security, along with whole-home water filtration for a higher standard of everyday living. These systems operate quietly in the background, enhancing comfort, efficiency, and peace of mind without interrupting the home’s clean aesthetic.

Additional features include a glass-enclosed wine room, dedicated laundry, and a spacious two-car garage.

Positioned just moments from the waterfront paths of Coffee Pot Bayou, Vinoy Park, and downtown St. Petersburg’s dining and cultural institutions — including The Dalí Museum and Chihuly Collection — this residence offers walkable access to the best of the city, while maintaining the character and prestige of the Old Northeast.

A rare newer-construction offering with water views in a historic neighborhood, this home reflects a level of design clarity, craftsmanship, and livability that is increasingly difficult to find.
