Driftwood, located on Big Bayou just south of 22nd Avenue South, is a special neighborhood with an incredible sense of place that can be felt as soon as one enters the neighborhood. Located on 1/2 acre and looking into Big Bayou, just off of Tampa Bay, 230 Driftwood Rd SE is a one of a kind property with 120 feet of waterfront and a beautifully restored home from renowned architect William B. Harvard, Sr. Although perhaps most widely known for The Pier, Mr. Harvard also designed other major structures: the Federal Building in St. Petersburg, the Tides Hotel at Redington Beach, Pasadena Community Church, Derby Lane, St. Petersburg Federal Savings and Loan building and addition, the St. Pete Beach Municipal Building and the St. Petersburg Public Library on Ninth Avenue N.
About Driftwood
St. Pete's eclectic historic neighborhoods play a large role in making the city a unique place to live. Driftwood, a secret oasis tucked away by greenery, offers a special place for its unique group of residents. It's quite hidden and magnificent, tucked beneath a canopy of Live Oaks just west of the Tropical Shores community. As you drive in to Driftwood, you’ll find a welcoming entrance archway above narrow and winding Driftwood Drive South. There are just 44 homes here with a mixture of Italian and Mediterranean architecture originally featuring 19 uniquely-detailed homes designed by local artist Mark Dixon Dodd.
The City
St. Pete has 361 days of sunshine, a vibrant art, cultural and food paradise and the best beaches in the country.
The House
Built in 1949 and restored in 2015, this mid-century modern home has the best waterfront lot and views in the city.
The Driftwood Neighborhood
The connected community of 44 homes gets together for the 4th of July parade, music in the park and for wine walks.
