This is a neighborhood like no other, hidden away in a tropical forest on the banks of Big Bayou in south St. Petersburg, FL. Cairn Cottage is one of the original 19 homes designed by Mark Dixson Dodd in the 1930’s, all unique and charming. This fabulous English style cottage has original magnolia wood floors in some rooms, vaulted ceilings, built-in bookshelves, a dreamy sunroom, a wood-burning fireplace in the living room, a cozy loft, an attached in-law suite, shady patios, and an extensive yard with mature oak trees and tropical foliage. The owners have made many improvements always keeping in mind the original style of the home; they updated the kitchen and baths, new roof in 2015, new impact-rated windows, new tankless hot water heater, AC, wood floors, and much more. (ask for the full list). If you don't need an in-law suite, you could incorporate it to add more space in the main home. Driftwood has an optional “owners’ association” that oversees their private, deeded beach on the Big Bayou. Only a short walk from the home, owners can sit on the dock and enjoy the water views, or slide your kayak into the water and paddle into the Tampa Bay. The group also has neighborhood parties to celebrate holidays or other events. Homes in Driftwood rarely come on the market, making them extremely desirable. Cairn Cottage has so many exquisite details and features that have to be seen to be fully appreciated. Driftwood is less than 3 miles to popular, downtown St Petersburg, with all its great restaurants, museums, shops, and new waterfront Pier. It’s also close to the sunny Gulf of Mexico beaches. You can have it all!
