711 Pinellas Point Dr., St. Petersburg, FL 33705

This iconic Mid Century home, built in 1954 and designed by renowned architect Glenn Q Johnson, is nestled amidst lush tropical landscape and offers scenic vistas from every room. In keeping with Johnson’s signature Vision-Aire “Birdcage” design, it is built facing southeast with 600 square feet of upper and lower screened porches, maximizing the refreshing bay breezes and integrating indoor and outdoor living. One of only 13 ever built, this home holds a special place in architectural history. The designs were inspired by Johnson's experiences during World War II, while stationed in the Philippines, and stands as an homage to brilliant craftsmanship. As you approach, footpaths wind their way around the property, guiding you through the vibrant foliage and breeze block privacy walls that adorn the garden. Inside, the primary living space is positioned on the second floor. Vaulted ceilings and skylights flood the living, dining and kitchen space with natural light. The kitchen has been carefully modernized with sleek cabinetry, quartz countertops, quartzite backsplash, illuminated cabinetry and drawers, and top of the line stainless appliances. In the spacious primary bedroom, the original built in closets and cabinets offer ample storage, and oversized windows make the best use of natural light. The primary bath has been updated while preserving the original mid-century character. Downstairs, two ensuite bedrooms open directly to the screened porch and are separated by a breezeway that leads to an outside shower. Recent notable updates include freshly painted exterior in 2024, metal roof in 2020, and HVAC in 2019. The Greater Pinellas Point neighborhood is located at the southernmost tip of the City of St. Pete. Within walking/biking distance are Lake Vista Recreation center and two waterfront parks, Bay Vista Park and Pinellas Point Park. Conveniently located near I-275 and the Sunshine Skyway, and 15 minutes to Downtown St. Pete.
