About 220 14th Avenue N
Mediterranean Revival. Red Carpet Reveal. Historic Old Northeast, reimagined. Set behind private walls on a double corner lot, this striking residence has been comprehensively rebuilt in 2026, preserving the architectural romance of its original design while delivering the sophistication, functionality and finish expected of a modern luxury home. The defining achievement of the renovation is The Retreat, an extraordinary, separately accessible primary wing conceived as a private sanctuary within the residence. The expansive bedroom opens directly to the pool and is complemented by a spa bath with an oversized glass shower, ceiling-mounted rain head, eight-foot freestanding soaking tub and floor-to-ceiling book-matched porcelain. Dual rift-cut white-oak vanities flank a seated dressing station, while a custom dressing room measuring more than 12 by 12 feet features floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, glass-front displays, dedicated shoe storage and extensive built-ins. A dedicated interior laundry room with sink and cabinetry is joined by a beautifully finished utility room with extensive workspace, built-in wet bar and storage—luxury functionality designed for everyday living, from pets and poolside service to household organization. At its heart is a four-bedroom main residence distinguished by oversized vintage entry doors, decorative exposed beams and five custom arched architectural openings that connect the interiors to the lush tropical courtyard and fill the home with natural light. Blonde hardwood flooring carries throughout, while the chef’s kitchen pairs gas cooking with dramatic gold-veined quartz surfaces. Impact-rated windows and doors deliver modern resiliency and quieter interiors without compromising the home’s historic character. Beyond the main residence, The Nest provides a renovated one-bedroom, one-bath private apartment above the garage and workshop, ideal for guests, extended stays or an executive office. Altogether, the property offers five bedrooms and four full baths across 3,108 square feet, creating a level of privacy, separation and flexibility rarely found in Historic Old Northeast. Outside, the residence becomes its own private resort. A solar-heated saltwater pool surrounded by travertine features a FASTLANE PRO system by Endless Pools for swimming in place. The screened Aqua Lounge, complete with a see-through gas fireplace, overlooks the pool, while more than 20 distinct species of palms, orchids and layered tropical landscaping create an immersive private oasis within the fully walled and fenced grounds. Garage, workshop and alley access further enhance the property’s exceptional functionality. Located in Flood Zone X and moments from the Tampa Bay waterfront, Vinoy Park, the St. Pete Pier, Beach Drive and downtown St. Petersburg, 220 14th Avenue North offers something increasingly difficult to replicate: the soul and architectural presence of an established Mediterranean residence, comprehensively transformed for modern life now.
A private retreat. A guest residence. A walled tropical resort. One extraordinary Old Northeast address.
