Property Description

RARE OPPORTUNITY IN BEAUTIFUL BAHAMA SHORES – AMAZING POOL HOME.

Begin your mornings with a short stroll to the private neighborhood-owned waterfront park and watch the rising sun reflect off the Sunshine Skyway Bridge. This custom home was designed by renowned New York architect George C. Buchtenkirk and offers bright natural light and an inviting openness with extraordinary warmth, character, and many features of original charm. William F. Gorman, who also developed Brightwaters Blvd. in Snell Isle, was the major builder/developer of this amazing community. This specific home was one of the first to be completed and it was designed and constructed for Mr. and Mrs. J.C. Reinbold in 1947. Mr. Reinbold was a board member of the first-ever Baham Beach Neighborhood Association which pioneered the special neighborhood character that residents enjoy to this very day. A true classic Bahama Shores Ranch showcasing many of Buchtenkirk’s famed design components such as a quaint courtyard entry, wonderful wood-burning fireplace, sprawling floor plan, beautiful oak flooring, large rooms, and custom trim carpentry throughout. In the early 1920s this area was to be developed as Alta Marina, but in the mid-1040s famed St Petersburg land-owner/developer Robert Lyons purchased the project from J.C. Stephenson and the name was changed to Bahama Beach (now Bahama Shores). This home offers an absolutely amazing kitchen space as well as the flexibility of a wonderful bonus space that can serve as an art studio, space for an office, your home gym, or even a 4th bedroom. Enjoy the benefit of indoor laundry, tankless water heater, newly renovated master bath, huge walk-in closet, exceptional storage throughout, and a brand-new roof! Situated on a large lot with mature, tropical landscaping and the most stunning yard and gardens. The tranquil saltwater pool provides a wonderful outdoor space for relaxing, sunbathing, swimming, or simply enjoying time with friends and family. Bahama Shores is one of St Petersburg’s most sought after neighborhoods, and is convenient to the Boyd Hill Nature Park, St. Petersburg Golf & Country Club, Bay Vista Park and Boat Ramp, and offers easy access to our award-winning Gulf Beaches, vibrant Downtown St.Petersburg, USF, The Medical Center, & exciting developments of The Skyway Marina District.
