St Petersburg relist: st petersburg 1330 Cherry Street NE returns to market

A two-story Historic Old Northeast residence at 1330 Cherry Street NE in St Petersburg has been relisted with an asking price of $1. 75 million, a move that follows a complete renovation and on-and-off market activity since early 2024. The property draws attention both for its architecture and for its past ownership by novelist Dennis Lehane; the seller purchased the house in 2023 for $1. 15 million.

st petersburg: the Lehane house details

The home was built in 1919 and offers 2, 886 heated square feet on a 0. 15-acre lot in the Historic Old Northeast neighborhood. Downstairs accommodates four bedrooms and three full bathrooms, and additional interior features listed with the property include a living room with a wood-burning fireplace, a dining room with built-in buffet-style cabinets, a kitchen with stone surfaces, a screened-in front porch and a rear sunroom.

An included 160-square-foot upper level is described as flexible space suitable for an artist studio, home office, library or a fifth bedroom. Exterior amenities noted for the property include a 240-square-foot open front porch and a backyard pool. The house is located in a non-flood zone and is equipped with a Generac generator. The asking price of $1. 75 million follows the seller's 2023 acquisition for $1. 15 million and the renovation completed the year prior to early 2024 market activity.

St Petersburg price and market context

The relist sets the asking price $600, 000 higher than the seller’s 2023 purchase price. That gap is a clear, observable indicator of the seller’s valuation following renovation; how the market responds will determine whether the asking level holds, is adjusted or prompts further marketing. If buyer interest meets the listing’s price positioning, the property could move at or near the current ask; if demand softens, a price revision would be a plausible next step.

The operation features roughly 180 indoor and outdoor seats, a turnkey bar setup and a 4COP-SRX liquor license, with approximately 19 onsite parking spaces. Each of the three vacant Coral Avenue lots lists at about 0. 06 acres of land.

The roundup also notes a St. Pete Beach home listed for over $5 million; details for that listing were summarized alongside the other properties.

• Key takeaways: The 1330 Cherry Street NE relist at $1. 75M follows a 2023 purchase at $1. 15M and a recent renovation.
• The Redington Shores restaurant-plus-lots package is offered at $4. 35M, reflecting a turnkey coastal food-and-beverage operation with supplementary land.

For buyers and observers, the immediate indicators are asking prices and the recent renovation history; those factors will guide marketing timelines and potential price movement in the weeks ahead. Uncertainties remain around buyer appetite at the current ask levels, and the listings noted here will provide clearer signals once transaction outcomes are known.
