6754 31st Street SSt Petersburg, FL 33712Price: $1,795,000

This is a rare opportunity to secure true open-water frontage at the southern tip of St. Petersburg, where wide, unobstructed views of Tampa Bay and the Sunshine Skyway Bridge come together to create an irreplaceable setting. This stretch of Tampa Bay offers a true open-water environment, with broad views, constant movement, and a direct connection to the surrounding ecosystem. Dolphins and manatees are frequently seen, and the shoreline supports a diverse mix of coastal birdlife, creating a setting that feels both active and serene. Positioned at the end of a quiet street, the property offers a level of privacy that is increasingly difficult to find, with approximately 100 feet of waterfront and a lot that lends itself equally well to a major renovation, new construction, or the creation of a massive estate through combination with the neighboring property. The existing home is both charming and particularly unique. The entryway features a hand-carved wooden pediment with a dual-peacock motif above the front door, reflecting the craftsmanship carried throughout the property. Inside, that same attention to detail continues. An exposed beam is proudly supported by phenomenal hand-carved corbels featuring classical faces, while an incredibly detailed, open-carved wooden transom bridges the upper walkway. Authentic Saltillo tile floors, a majestic heavy-timber newel post, and a custom sunburst-patterned wood railing on the primary suite's private waterfront balcony give the home a distinctive architectural character rarely found today. While the 1983 home is a diamond in the rough, these bespoke elements, combined with the home's spacious vaulted interiors, create a compelling foundation for a visionary renovation. A new owner can salvage, preserve, and elevate these irreplaceable artisan features, or choose to clear the site and build a brand-new architectural masterpiece to fully take advantage of this rare and beautiful location. The lot features a non-functional pool, and the dock is waiting for the new owner to rebuild and customize it to their needs, offering a true blank slate to design your ultimate outdoor waterfront lifestyle. OPPORTUNITY FOR A GRAND ESTATE: When combined with the neighboring property at 6755 30th St. S (MLS# TB8489791), this becomes the foundation for a one-of-a-kind, magnificent waterfront estate-a footprint and opportunity that is virtually impossible to replicate. Compared to properties further west in Pinellas Point, this location has some distinct advantages. Just moments away you have direct access to I-275 North and South, meaning that the vibrancy of downtown St. Petersburg is only minutes away. Likewise, you're just blocks away from the Pinellas Bayway, which connects you directly to Tierra Verde, Fort De Soto, and the Gulf beaches. Opportunities like this-a property that provides both supreme convenience and serene open-water living-are increasingly limited.
