Snell Isle private retreat — slip into a secluded sanctuary where lush courtyards, natural light, and timeless 1937 charm create a warm and welcoming living experience. Set behind wrought-iron gates on one of Snell Isle’s most iconic boulevards, this romantic residence blends classic architecture with meaningful modern upgrades, offering true privacy just a golf-cart ride from Downtown St. Petersburg. From the moment you step into the landscaped courtyard entry, the home feels airy, bright, and effortlessly connected to the outdoors.
Inside, sunlight pours across travertine floors and fills the living areas with joyful energy. With 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, and 2,698 square feet, the layout provides both comfort and flexibility. One bedroom is ideal for an office or fitness room, while the remaining bedrooms offer peaceful, private retreats. Each bedroom opens to its own patio space, creating serene outdoor escapes perfect for morning coffee, reading, or quiet work-from-home days.
The kitchen anchors the home with an entertainer’s flow, abundant updates, generous storage, and direct connection to the outdoor living areas. Out back, the property lives like a true Snell Isle private retreat, surrounded by mature palms and tropical landscaping that create a lush arboretum feel. The resort-style pool, outdoor pavilion, and fireplace set the stage for sunset dinners, romantic evenings, and year-round alfresco gatherings.
This home combines thoughtful upgrades with classic charm. Impact-rated windows and doors, a barrel tile roof, 2019 HVAC (main house), 2021 re-piping, 2025 tankless water heater, vapor barrier, and premium water-filtration systems offer storm-smart living with modern comfort. Additional improvements include updated driveway approach (2020) and enhanced plumbing and water-quality systems.
Located in one of St. Petersburg’s most prestigious waterfront neighborhoods, this home provides unmatched access to the Vinoy Golf Club, Beach Drive, The Pier, bayfront parks, museums, world-class dining, shopping, boating, and Gulf beaches. Private, tropical, light-filled, and beautifully restored, this residence embodies the lifestyle that makes Snell Isle one of the most coveted communities in Florida.
