A historic Mediterranean Revival built by one of St. Petersburg’s pioneering architects is now on the market in the Granada Terrace neighborhood.

The Godsey House, located at 2240 Coffee Pot Blvd. NE, was constructed in 1925 for plumbing contractor CJ Godsey, and his wife Lilian, by celebrated architect Edgar Ferdon, who first came to the area in 1903 and is considered to be St. Petersburg’s “first professional architect.”

Ferdon, who passed away at the age of 63 in 1932 as the result of a stroke, was behind quite a few notable local homes and buildings during the Florida land boom of the 1920s,

Today, his work can still be found all over Tampa Bay and includes the Crislip Arcade, the First Congregational Church, and the American Bank and Trust building, which was unfortunately torn down (but the columns can still be seen at the Veterans Memorial at Williams Park).

The 3,647-square-foot home comes with four bedrooms and five bathrooms, as well a pool, a dock, a two car garage and a ton of original features like wood floors,  a chandelier, a gas fireplace, a solarium, and more.

The current asking price for the Godsey House is $3.29 million and the listing agents are Caryn Rightmyer and Bill Caulfield of Premier Sotheby’s.
