Description
Enjoy private open waterfront living in this historic Frank Lloyd Wright inspired home. Built originally in 1949 by architects William B Harvard and Jack Dodd, both who studied under Frank Lloyd Wright. This home has been remodeled with modern touches yet still honors the historical character of the Frank Lloyd Wright architecture. A completely updated kitchen featuring Viking appliances, gas range, pot filler, warming drawer and more create a dream kitchen for any home chef. Updated tile flooring in the kitchen and bathrooms compliment the original hardwood floors throughout the majority of the home. The renovations also included updating HVAC (2015), roof (2015), and windows (2015, double paned/impact, not hurricane, with canvas hurricane shutters) while adding a whole house gas GenX generator (2015), electrical updates that included wiring for smart features, tankless water heater (2015), and updating/refinishing flooring. As you walk in the front door you are greeted to a large living room and dining room area, perfect for hosting and entertaining. The spectacular great room features neon lighting and a gas fireplace. The kitchen is only separated by a half wall, allowing a more intimate place to prepare meals. Through the kitchen you reach the indoor laundry room with a sink which leads into an outdoor breezeway to the garage. The two car garage houses the second half bathroom and was built with the ability to seamlessly add a second story. The master and three additional bedrooms are all located on the right side of the home. The master bedroom has an incredible view of the water and pool and has a sliding glass door leading out to the back deck. Even though this home is directly on the water, it still has an elevation of 8.1ft. The salt water pool was redone with pebble-tec in 2015 and a standing freshwater hot tub was added to the back deck. The back deck is screened in with room for a large grill, has a gas fireplace and has three retractable awnings powered by smart home features.The oversized lot allows for a spacious fenced backyard, plenty of room for entertaining and enough space to add a playground for the kids. This home sits on 122ft of private waterfront with a private beach. Although the home does not currently feature a dock, there is a current permit pulled for an 80 ft. dock, 10, 000 lb lift, and 60 ft yacht. The community on Driftwood Rd SE is just another incredible feature for this property; extremely family friendly and very active! Located just minutes from downtown St. Petersburg, 10 minutes to I-275 and 30 minutes to Tampa International Airport. This Frank Lloyd Wright inspired home has so much original charm with modern touches and allows plenty of opportunity to still make it your own!
