Description of Property
Positioned along one of the most coveted stretches in all of Historic Old Northeast, 835 16th Ave NE presents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to restore, reimagine, or completely reinvent a piece of St. Petersburg history. Formerly home to St. Petersburg Mayor Arthur Norwood, this stately brick residence stands proudly within the quintessential corridor between North Shore Drive NE and Beach Drive NE—surrounded by brick-lined streets, towering oaks, waterfront estates, and some of the city’s most architecturally significant homes. Rich with character and timeless craftsmanship, the existing residence offers the foundation for an extraordinary restoration project, while the oversized homesite simultaneously presents the rare potential to create a truly spectacular legacy estate in one of Tampa Bay’s most prestigious neighborhoods. Original details throughout the home tell a story of a bygone era, including beautiful hardwood flooring spanning the primary living spaces, original Cuban tile adorning the sunroom and entryway, and two wood-burning fireplaces that anchor the home with warmth and historic charm. A dramatic third-floor walk-up attic introduces endless possibilities—whether transformed into an incredible loft, private guest retreat, playroom, studio, or additional storage space. The property has already benefited from several meaningful improvements, including newer roofs and a stunning resort-style pool constructed in 2005 by the renowned Sekas Custom Pools, creating an incredible backdrop for future outdoor living and entertaining. Additional features include a detached garage, workshop space, and covered carport—an increasingly rare offering in Historic Old Northeast. Whether your vision is to preserve and elevate one of the neighborhood’s iconic historic residences or design and build a new architectural masterpiece from the ground up, 835 16th Ave NE represents an irreplaceable opportunity to secure a premier piece of Historic Old Northeast real estate with provenance, prestige, and limitless potential.
