Home of the Week: 1957-built Mid-Century Marvel in St. Petersburg's Pinellas Point

This week’s featured home is a fascinating piece of mid-century architecture located at 801 Pinellas Point Drive South. Built in 1957, this three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home offers 2,538 square feet of living space on a spacious 0.27-acre lot.

Nicknamed a “Mid-Century Marvel” by the St. Petersburg Times decades ago, the house showcases design elements that capture the spirit of its era. Highlights include a triangular fireplace, geometric wall features, a built-in fish tank, and a circular dining table.

Small touches in the kitchen, like pull-out storage for aluminum foil and plastic wrap, reflect the innovative thinking of the time.

Original wooden doors and other period details remain intact, while modern updates, such as storm windows and sliding doors, make the home more functional. Both of the home’s primary bedrooms offer something special—one retains its mid-century decor, while the other has been updated with modern finishes.

Pinellas Point is known for its peaceful ambiance, proximity to the waterfront, and easy access to downtown St. Petersburg. The neighborhood offers a glimpse into the city’s rich architectural history while maintaining a relaxed suburban feel.

Whether you’re a fan of mid-century design or simply seeking a property with character, this home is a unique find.

The property is currently listed for $875,000.
