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.

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.
