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 Dal 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.
