There are waterfront homes, and then there are properties that simply cannot be replicated.
Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac on the coveted open-water side of Mermaid Point, 2279 Mermaid Point presents one of the rarest opportunities currently available in St. Petersburg real estate. With unobstructed views stretching across Tampa Bay toward Weedon Island Preserve and the distant skyline of Downtown Tampa, this extraordinary residence offers a lifestyle defined by privacy, tranquility, and an ever-changing waterfront backdrop.
Properties along this exclusive stretch of open water seldom come to market, making this a true generational opportunity for the next owner.
Custom built by renowned builder Tom Pici & Son, the home was thoughtfully designed to maximize both durability and livability. Elevated above the base flood elevation and constructed with block, steel, and impact-rated windows and doors, the residence has never flooded—a testament to both its quality construction and exceptional positioning.
Inside, Brazilian hardwood double entry doors welcome guests into a dramatic foyer anchored by a floor-to-ceiling indoor waterfall, immediately setting the tone for the home’s sophisticated yet serene atmosphere. Soaring 12-foot ceilings and expansive walls of glass invite natural light throughout while framing breathtaking bay views from nearly every major living space.
Designed for both everyday living and grand-scale entertaining, the chef’s kitchen features custom cabinetry by Michael Bright, a premium Wolf gas range, Sub-Zero refrigeration, Miele double ovens, and a built-in Miele coffee station. At the center of the space, a striking Madagascar granite island serves as both a functional workspace and gathering place, seamlessly connecting to the family room, where a wood-burning fireplace and panoramic water views create an inviting setting.
Modern conveniences are thoughtfully integrated throughout the residence. A Crestron smart home system allows effortless control of lighting, climate, security, and entertainment, while motorized window treatments, whole-house water filtration, recessed LED lighting, and dual Rinnai tankless water heaters further enhance everyday comfort.
The primary suite offers a true retreat, complete with sweeping bay views, a private fireplace, and a spa-inspired bath featuring a Pearl whirlpool tub, steam shower, floating dual vanity, Toto smart toilet and bidet, warming rack, and an expansive custom dressing room.
Additional highlights include a private screening room with seating for eight, three additional en-suite bedrooms—including a wellness room and a junior suite with direct pool access—and two interior laundry rooms.
Outside, resort-style living awaits. A Sekas-designed saltwater pool and spa with swim jets and sun shelf overlooks the open bay, while a two-tier waterfront deck and outdoor kitchen create the ideal setting for entertaining family and friends. With 107 feet of deep sailboat water frontage and a Speeler-built dock featuring two boat lifts, boating enthusiasts can access the open waters of Tampa Bay within minutes.
Despite its peaceful waterfront setting, the home remains just moments from Downtown St. Petersburg, the Vinoy Golf Club, the St. Pete Pier, acclaimed dining, museums, and the vibrant cultural amenities that have made St. Pete one of Florida’s most sought-after destinations.
Recently appraised at $4.85 million in 2025, 2279 Mermaid Point represents a truly exceptional opportunity to own one of the most remarkable open-water residences in all of St. Petersburg.
