5 Beds | 5 Baths | 4,334 Sqft
Offered at $4,995,000
In a city celebrated for its blend of Old Florida charm and modern sophistication, opportunities like this simply don’t come around often. Newly available, this striking waterfront estate on Snell Isle—designed by the renowned William Harvard Jr.—is more than a home. It’s a piece of St. Petersburg’s architectural story.
Harvard Jr., whose lineage includes the architect behind the landmark St. Petersburg Pier, brought his distinctive eye and structural ingenuity to this 2005 custom build. The result? A residence that blends artistry, endurance, and timeless design at the highest level.
Built to Endure, Designed to Stand Apart
Now available for the first time in years, this home sits safely above the flood plain and showcases engineering rarely seen in residential construction. Recently tested by major storms—and coming through without a scratch—the property is built with concrete block walls, steel studs, prestressed concrete planks, and a concrete subfloor beneath beautiful hardwood flooring.
In 2024, it received both a brand-new roof and a fully rebuilt dock and lift system, offering peace of mind for future generations. Hurricane-impact windows and doors plus a whole-house generator add yet another layer of security and confidence.
Light, Warmth & Elevated Living
Step through custom metal double doors into a dramatic two-story foyer, where ten-foot ceilings and expansive windows flood the home with natural light. Clean architectural lines, rich finishes, and thoughtful details create a sense of effortless sophistication.
Perfectly designed for both intimate living and memorable entertaining, the layout features:
• A formal living room
• Spacious dining area
• Chef’s kitchen with Thermador 6-burner gas range + bold red quartz island
• Cozy family room with a gas fireplace and hand-laid wood floors
A Spanish-tiled covered porch extends the living space outdoors, offering peaceful views of Coffee Pot Bayou—ideal for sunrise coffees or winding down with a glass of wine.
A Private Retreat Above It All
Ride the elevator to the second floor, where three serene en-suite bedrooms each feature cast iron tubs, bespoke vanities, and private access to waterfront balconies. The primary suite offers a spa-like escape with a garden tub, separate shower, large walk-in closet, and tranquil water views.
Also upstairs: a generous laundry and storage room and access to two additional covered porches overlooking the private yard and newly rebuilt dock with boat and jet ski lifts.
Space for Your Collection, Minutes from Downtown
Car lovers will value the oversized three-car garage with soaring ceilings—ideal for lifts, storage, and a growing collection. And with downtown St. Pete just minutes away, world-class dining, arts, shopping, and waterfront parks are always within easy reach.
