Property Description
Known locally as The Cake House, this timeless Mediterranean masterpiece is one of Old Northeast’s iconic historic residences, a century-old architectural gem originally designed by the same architect behind Dunedin’s famed Fenway Hotel. On a prized corner lot along picturesque Beach Drive, the home blends Havana-inspired design and 1920s craftsmanship with thoughtful modern luxury updates throughout. Showcasing original interior and exterior brick, refinished hardwood floors, detailed millwork and a distinctive pagoda-style roofline, the property radiates warmth, history and sophistication. Inside, a light-filled tranquil sunroom opens to flexible dining and living areas pre-wired for audio/visual, ideal for entertaining. The main level includes a formal dining room, and a full butler’s pantry with bar functionality off the chef’s updated kitchen, featuring a movable island and period details that honor the home’s heritage. The enclosed laundry room includes a washer and dryer, with an adjacent mudroom and indoor tankless water heater. The luxurious primary suite is a sanctuary of elegance, complete with crown molding, a California closet system, dual vanities, and an oversized walk-in shower clad in Calacatta marble with opulent fixtures and abundant natural light. Guest accommodations are equally inviting, with spacious bedrooms, dual closets, and beautifully updated baths that harmonize with the home’s character. Outdoor living is elevated with a private Mediterranean-style courtyard featuring a custom wood-fired kitchen, gazebo dining pavilion and restored original deck pillars surrounded by lush new landscaping. Every detail invites relaxation and connection. Additional highlights include updated electrical and copper plumbing, new under-home ductwork (2024), a newly installed CPVC water main to the street and ongoing air conditioner maintenance for peace of mind. The detached two-car garage accompanies a fully equipped one-bedroom, one-bath ADU with kitchen, washer/dryer, and private entry, ideal for guests, extended family or income opportunity. Set on a 7,920-square-foot lot in one of St. Petersburg’s celebrated neighborhoods, 1311 Beach Drive NE is a rare blend of architectural authenticity and modern livability. Every improvement has been permitted, curated and meticulously maintained, offering a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own one of Old Northeast’s beloved landmarks.
