Property Overview
Nestled along the serene shores of Big Bayou just south of 22nd Avenue South, Driftwood is more than just a neighborhood; it's a living testament to the intertwined threads of history, nature, and architectural ingenuity. From the moment one steps foot into Driftwood, there's an unmistakable sense of belonging, as if the whispers of the past and the embrace of nature converge to create a unique ambiance.
At its heart lies a collection of 19 homes, each a masterpiece of design crafted during the 1930s to 1940s by the acclaimed artist Mark Dixon Dodd and the esteemed local architect Archie Parish. These architectural gems, standing proudly as guardians of time, offer a glimpse into the past while seamlessly blending with the lush coastal sub-tropical hammock that cradles the neighborhood. Amidst a dense canopy of trees, a vibrant tapestry of jungle-like garden landscapes thrives, a testament to the neighborhood's commitment to harmonizing with its natural surroundings.
Once frequented by Native Americans, remnants of their presence linger, hinting at a rich history buried within the soil. The echoes of pioneer homesteads, belonging to Abel Miranda and John Bethell, the pioneers who first laid roots in lower Pinellas County, resonate through the land, serving as silent guardians of a bygone era.
Welcome to your dream oasis in the historic Driftwood neighborhood of St. Petersburg, Florida! This timeless masterpiece, built in 1938, seamlessly blends classic charm with modern luxury, offering a truly exceptional living experience.
