Places This Week: Dwight Gooden’s former St. Pete home
The Catalyst’s weekly roundup of notable Pinellas County real estate news.
A 7,850-square-foot waterfront Mediterranean-style estate at 6755 30th Street S., in the Greater Pinellas Point neighborhood of St. Petersburg, has listed for $5.5 million.
The residence, built in 1983, was once owned by former New York Mets pitcher Dwight Gooden, who purchased the property in 1987 for $530,000. Gooden played with the Mets from 1984 until 1994 and retired in 2000 after brief stints with the New York Yankees, Cleveland Indians, Houston Astros and the Tampa Bay Rays. He sold the home in 2003 for $650,000.
Inside is 5,845 square feet of open living space with five bedrooms and six bathrooms spread across two floors. The chef’s kitchen is outfitted with a 48-inch Dacor range, a Sub-Zero side-by-side refrigerator and freezer, a built-in microwave and a dining nook that looks over the grounds and Tampa Bay. A dedicated office space is located on the first floor, and an elevator offers convenient access between the two levels.
The 0.77-acre parcel of land is located at the end of a quiet street with water on two sides. In front is a pink brick driveway with a fountain and a 900-square-foot garage, large enough to accommodate up to three vehicles.
Out back are a heated pool and spa, an outdoor kitchen, multiple seating areas, an expansive lawn, a private dock, and 166 feet of waterfrontage with wide views of the bay and the Sunshine Skyway Bridge.
Also for sale is a 2,973-square-foot home with four bedrooms, two bathrooms and one half-bath, located next door at 6754 31st Street S. The two properties together would provide the opportunity to create a compound with over an acre of land and waterfrontage expanding over 260 feet.
