Property Description

A once in a generation opportunity on one of the most exclusive drives in all of St Petersburg is being offered for the first time in over 42 years… welcome to 1323 Snell Harbor Drive NE. Privately tucked away in the iconic waterfront neighborhood of Snell Isle, and home to only eight legacy residences, this secluded tree-lined cul-de-sac is surrounded on three sides by the sparkling open waters of Tampa Bay and the protected serenity of the coveted Snell Isle Harbor. If you are looking for one of the most sought after locations in all of St. Pete to build new, or the chance to renovate and recreate into an icon, it just doesn’t get better than this. Breathtaking views of BOTH open Tampa Bay AND Snell Isle Harbor greet you every day, and the sunrises at dawn are a sight to behold. A serious boater’s dream, this location is thought by many to be the most desired waterfront in all of Snell Isle. While providing immediate access to open Tampa Bay, it also offers the benefit of protected waters for most any type of watercraft and the perfect spot for wakeboarding, paddle boarding, jet skiing and more right in your own backyard. It also features a composite dock with 10,000 pound lift. All of this, just a few minutes to our vibrant and cultural downtown, via boat, bike or stroll. The existing home, built in 1960 with a midcentury modern flair, offers an expansive 3,678 square feet of living space, all on one level. The incredible wide open floor plan provides a rare opportunity to be restored and reimagined into a contemporary vision of it’s modernist history. Striking waterfront views immediately greet you from the grand entry of the home. The living, dining, family and Florida rooms are each extremely generous in size and flow cohesively as they all overlook the sparkling 40,000 gallon pool, spa and waterfront. With 4 bedrooms and 4 ensuite bathrooms, there are private spaces for everyone. The wood burning fireplace, wrapped in a full wall of Norwegian Rose marble, is a stunning mid century feature. Recent upgrades include impact rated windows throughout the home (2017) tile roof (2017) and air conditioning (2020). If new construction is the dream, the oversized lot, at .36 acres, rests on approximately 89 ft. of water frontage and offers an unparalleled location for a buyer wishing to imagine and build a spectacular custom estate residence. A new survey is available for review. And so close and convenient to everything downtown St. Pete…from museums, cafes, fine dining, shopping, sporting events, outdoor concerts/events, and three airports including Tampa International. The sky is the limit here to create a truly spectacular estate residence. The next chapter for this property is just waiting to be written.
