About this property

HUGE PRICE IMPROVEMENT! Bay Gables – A Rare Landmark in the Heart of St. Petersburg. Step into a piece of Florida history with Bay Gables, a beautifully preserved 1912 Folk Victorian home with Queen Anne influences, now proudly listed on the City of St. Petersburg Register of Historic Places. Located at 457 8th Avenue N on a private single-family lot, this iconic residence is ready to begin its next chapter with a new steward who appreciates historic craftsmanship and architectural character. Originally built at 136 4th Avenue NE, Bay Gables was relocated in 2022 in a remarkable preservation effort that safeguarded its distinctive features and historical significance. Known over the years as both an elegant French restaurant and the charming Watergarden Inn at the Bay, this residence has served the community with grace and elegance for over a century. This Folk Victorian gem showcases hallmark elements of the style, including steeply pitched cross gables, a broad wraparound porch with decorative spindlework, and ornate bay windows that project elegance and natural light. The pastel exterior with crisp trim speaks to the coastal Southern charm of early St. Petersburg. Inside, original heart pine floors, detailed wood trim, and tall, narrow windows exude the warmth and authenticity of early 20th-century craftsmanship. The home is situated in the desirable Uptown Historic Neighborhood, just blocks from downtown St. Pete’s vibrant waterfront, Central Avenue’s shops and cafes, museums, parks, and marina. Its flexible layout offers a wealth of opportunities—as a grand private residence, live/work studio, or a multi-generational home. Bay Gables is not just a home; it’s a living testament to St. Petersburg’s architectural and cultural evolution. With its recent relocation and historic designation, the heavy lifting has been done—now it's ready for a visionary owner to infuse new life within its walls. Don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of Florida history. This beautiful home stayed high and dry during the 2024 Hurricanes, its new home is in a non-flood zone. Schedule your private showing today and become a part of Bay Gables’ storied legacy.
