St. Petersburg Snell Isle mansion lists for $11.25 million

A 5,378-square-foot home in St. Petersburg’s exclusive Snell Isle neighborhood is on the market for $11.25 million.

321 Brightwaters Blvd. NE is a Mediterranean-style home with four bedrooms and five bathrooms on a 0.41-acre double lot. The waterfront property overlooks Coffee Pot Bayou and faces west, offering sunset views.

It was built in 1928 and designed by the influential developer S.V. Schooley.

“He was like a Spanish-Mediterranean-style Frank Lloyd Wright,” said Bonnie Strickland from Coldwell Banker Realty. She is listing the property along with Miles Crowe.

The current owners paid $705,000 for the property in 1999, according to Pinellas County property records. They renovated it in the early 2000s to preserve its historical significance. They’ve also added modern structural elements like new windows and a new roof.

“You can not build a house like this anymore, it’s too expensive.” Strickland said. “It’s built like a fortress, solid plaster.”

Special features include three fireplaces, hand-painted Italian-inspired interiors, an attached one-car garage, a separate two-car garage/workspace, a heated pool with a waterslide and a dock with a boatlift.

There will be a broker’s open house March 28 from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.
