Live Where Babe Ruth Wintered: Your Downtown St. Pete Pied-à-Terre. Built in 1927 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this boutique Mediterranean Revival landmark has just 76 residences. It was once the winter home of baseball legends Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, and now it can be yours. This sunny fifth-floor 1-bedroom, 1-bath apartment is move-in ready and full of original character, with oak floors, vintage bathroom tile, and a private balcony for enjoying the Florida breeze. The important work is already done: all electrical and plumbing upgrades were completed in 2020 to meet building code and accessibility requirements. That leaves you free to add your own personal touches. Step outside and you’re just 500 feet from Beach Drive. The Vinoy, the St. Pete Pier, world-class museums, galleries, award-winning restaurants, nightlife and the Saturday Morning Market are all an easy walk away, so you don’t need a car. As a resident of this socially vibrant 55+ cooperative, you’ll enjoy: Two rooftop terraces with 360° views of the skyline, the Pier and Tampa Bay, made for sunset gatherings or a quiet morning coffee, 7th-floor lounges and a piano area for entertaining, Twin courtyard gardens, a fitness center, business center, on-site laundry, bike and personal storage, and an on-site property manager. Your maintenance fee covers electricity, gas, water, sewer and trash, so there are no utility accounts to juggle. That’s ideal whether you’re here year-round, for the season, or just for long weekends. The building has passed its Milestone inspection, and the association is in strong financial health with healthy reserves. It is located in Flood Zone X. Cash purchase required. Rentals are not permitted during the first two years of ownership. Two small pets are allowed. Whether you’re dreaming of a winter escape, a lock-and-leave retreat, or a full-time home steeped in history, this is your chance to own a piece of St. Pete’s legacy.
