Welcome to one of the original waterfront homes in the enchanting neighborhood of DRIFTWOOD! As you enter Driftwood, you’ll immediately sense what a special place this is. Tucked away on the banks of the Big Bayou with its dense tree canopy, this neighborhood is an early example of designing with nature. Nineteen original houses designed during the 1930’s to 1940’s by nationally known artist Mark Dixon Dodd and Archie Parish, a renowned local architect, remain in Driftwood. Just a short bike ride (less than 3 miles) from downtown and the award winning St. Pete Pier! Upon entering the home, you are greeted with unobstructed views of Big Bayou/Tampa Bay! The spacious first floor features an open floor plan connecting the living area, kitchen, and reading nook with an additional family room (featuring a wood burning fireplace) as well as a dreamy screened-in lanai,creating endless opportunities to optimize entertaining, relaxing, and/or formal dining, all with waterfront views. Slide your kayak or paddle board into the water and paddle out to Tampa Bay, in the company of dolphins and manatees. A “living shoreline” of FL native plants was installed by Wilcox Nursery, adding to your natural oasis. This property includes riparian waterway rights and a permanent mooring within those boundaries. Just down the street, Driftwood homeowners share a DEEDED private beach and dock. There are 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms located on the second floor, all boasting original hardwood floors and charming mid-century details. The primary bedroom features an en-suite bathroom and large windows with another gorgeous water view. A third bonus bathroom is located in the garage (perfect for beach days!) along with laundry. New energy efficient Mini-split units installed in 2020-save on energy bills and long-term AC maintenance! This home has remained in the family since it was built and has been lovingly cared for since. Driftwood neighbors also enjoy many activities together like potluck dinners, and Holiday concerts in the Park.Schedule your tour today!
