Home of the Week: A 1920s Great Gatsby-era waterfront estate in Old Southeast

This week’s featured Home of the Week is a five-bedroom, five-bathroom Great Gatsby-era estate at 1925 Beach Drive SE in Old Southeast, a neighborhood known for historic hex-block sidewalks and brick streets lined with palm trees and laurel oaks.

Just minutes from downtown St. Pete, this 1920s waterfront residence offers 5,762 square feet of living space, boasting water views from every room and seamlessly combining historic charm with modern luxury.

The home has been completely renovated and sits on an expansive 100’ x 156’ double lot in Flood Zone X.

The main level, which contains travertine tile floors and high ceilings, includes an office ensuite and a chef’s kitchen with quartz countertops, a Viking gas range, Bosch paneled refrigerator, Thermador appliances, and a porcelain farm sink.

The dining area and bonus room provide direct waterfront views, while the family room includes a stone gas fireplace and access to a waterfront outdoor dining area.

Upstairs, accessed via stairs or elevator, the primary suite includes a sitting area, wraparound balcony, full bay views, and a bath with a garden tub, walk-in shower, custom vanities, and a walk-in closet with integrated laundry.

Three additional bedrooms each have custom closets, private balconies, and bay views.

The backyard features a heated saltwater pool with a sun shelf, low-maintenance turf, mango, banana, and starfruit trees, and a cedar pavilion for outdoor dining.

In addition to a three-car driveway, there is a detached one-car garage which comes equipped with an EV charger. Adjacent to the garage is an air-conditioned fitness room with an ensuite bath.

Above the garage, a renovated 700-square-foot guest apartment features one bedroom, a full kitchen, bonus room, walk-in closet, and private bath.

Located in Old Southeast, this home is nestled within a vibrant community of artists and art enthusiasts. As one of only two St. Petersburg neighborhoods with an Artist Enclave designation, Old Southeast allows residents to use their homes as work studios, artist lofts, galleries, and instructional spaces.

The neighborhood is bordered on the east by Lassing Park, a 12.5-acre dog-friendly historic park on Tampa Bay offering incredible green space, fishing, water sports, walking, and a spectacular view of Tampa Bay.

The property is currently listed by Premier Sotheby's International Realty for $3,550,000.
