Perry Snell’s “Jewel Box” is on the market and ready to welcome its next history-loving homeowner. Originally built in 1934 by Perry Snell, the visionary founder and developer of St. Petersburg, this architectural masterpiece represents one of the most treasured pieces of the city’s history. Meticulously and lovingly restored by the Caporella Group of Florida, this residence seamlessly blends historic preservation with modern luxury. Every detail of the full renovation has been executed with precision and care—unmatched by anything else in the neighborhood. The original Swarovski crystal chandeliers, crafted in Italy in the 1920s, have been professionally restored and rewired to meet 2025 electrical standards. The inlaid cherry hardwood floors were carefully preserved and refinished, while the hand-painted vaulted ceiling reflects the grandeur of the nearby Vinoy Hotel. Adding to its historic significance, the property proudly showcases the original Snell Isle statue in the front yard—a rare and iconic feature that ties directly to Perry Snell’s enduring legacy. While its timeless character has been meticulously protected, the home features thoughtful modern upgrades including brand-new Café smart appliances, new electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems, a new kitchen with soft-close wood cabinetry, granite countertops, and New England Brass fixtures. Additional enhancements include two remodeled bathrooms with Moen fixtures and TOTO commodes, a new tankless water heater, and an updated irrigation system. The backyard oasis will take your breath away with its turf and travertine checkerboard patio, stone-sculpture water features, and lush mature landscaping for complete privacy—creating an outdoor retreat that lives like the most important “room” of the home. Located in the prestigious Snell Isle community, across from the Vinoy Golf Course and just a short stroll or bike ride to Coffee Pot Bayou, Tampa Bay, and downtown St. Petersburg’s waterfront parks, shops, and restaurants, this home offers a lifestyle as remarkable as its history. This is not just a home—it’s a legacy property, a rare opportunity to own an enduring piece of St. Petersburg’s architectural and cultural heritage.
