Finding a house on Tampas Hillsborough River is already hard enough, but youll probably never find one where the manatees swim past the home's own Sebastian Coolidge mural.
Located at 1427 E Mulberry Dr. in the Fern Cliff section of Tampas Sulphur Springs neighborhood, the Pickle House is named for the 80-foot mural painted by St. Pete-based Coolidge who adorned the seawall with a rainbow of colors, plus a funky depiction of a family of pickles floating on tubes. And float on you will at the BYOB pad (bring your own boat) .
Originally built in 1943 and located in a no-wake section of the Hillsborough River well south of the dam, which means you can paddleboard in peace and also easily cruise past Ricks on the River, Armature Works and into downtown. The three-bedroom, two-bathroom house also features a hot tub, boat lift for vessels up to 24 feet and a backyard complete with porch swings, a tree house, koi pond and dog run.
Coolidge is known for many surrealist, cross-dimensional paintings across the Bay area, including some in St. Pete and several in other U.S. neighborhoods like Wynwood in Miami. He also designed the set for the only rap show ever at Skippers Smokehouse and has his own clothing line.
