Description of Property
SECLUDED SNELL ISLE RETREAT with 1937 CHARM, IMPACT WINDOWS, PRIVATE TROPICAL POOL & OUTDOOR PAVILION. Slip into a romantic Snell Isle sanctuary where natural light pours in, palm fronds sway outside every room, and life flows effortlessly from indoors to courtyard, patio, and pool, all just a golf-cart ride from Downtown St. Pete. Set behind wrought-iron gates on one of Snell Isle’s most iconic boulevards, 808 Brightwaters Blvd NE offers a rare blend of timeless 1937 architecture, modern peace of mind, and a welcoming, resort-style lifestyle. A lushly landscaped private courtyard entry creates an immediate sense of arrival and seclusion, and once inside, the home feels warm, airy, and inviting. Sunlight floods the living spaces throughout the day, highlighting travertine floors and giving the entire home a bright, joyful energy. With 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, and 2,698 square feet, the layout is designed for both comfort and flexibility. One bedroom is perfectly suited as a dedicated office or workout room, while the others offer peaceful retreats. Each bedroom features doors that open to patio areas, creating private outdoor escapes for guests, work-from-home days, or quiet mornings with coffee and birdsong. The kitchen anchors the home with an entertainer’s flow, meaningful recent updates, generous storage, and easy connection to the outdoor living areas. Out back, the home lives like a private retreat. The yard is a true palm tree arboretum with an extraordinary variety of mature palms and tropical plantings surrounding the pool and cabana, offering rare privacy and a lush, vacation-at-home atmosphere. A covered outdoor pavilion with a fireplace sets the stage for romantic evenings, sunset dinners, and alfresco gatherings year-round. Smart upgrades add coastal confidence without sacrificing charm: impact-rated doors and windows, a barrel tile roof, HVAC 2019 (main house), new plumbing pipes under the house (2021), driveway to street approach (2020), tankless water heater (2025) with secondary water heater in primary bath (2019), vapor barrier in the crawl space (2025), and premium water-quality systems including whole-house softener/filtration and reverse osmosis (11/2025). And the location is the finishing move—serene, prestigious, and perfectly positioned near Vinoy Golf Club, Beach Drive, The Pier, museums, dining, shopping, boating, bayfront parks, Albert Whitted Airport, and Gulf beaches. This is Snell Isle at its most romantic and refined: private, light-filled, storm-smart, and designed for the lifestyle that makes this neighborhood one of St. Petersburg’s most coveted.
