Tucked beneath centuries-old grand oaks, this nature-lover’s retreat blends comfortable Gulf Coast style with documented system updates and thoughtful improvements throughout. Located on a quiet no-through street between Old Tampa Bay and Bayshore Boulevard, the setting offers privacy, charm, and walkability in one of South Tampa’s most desirable pockets. The home features 1,240 square feet of heated living space with vaulted ceilings, original terrazzo and tile floors, custom built-in bookshelves, and abundant natural light. Three sets of double French doors create beautiful flow and open to a large wrap-around screened lanai — a true extension of the home and perfect for outdoor dining, relaxing, or entertaining. The kitchen was remodeled with granite countertops, breakfast bar, double stainless-steel sink, updated faucet and disposal, and refreshed cabinetry. The practical floor plan includes three bedrooms, a bonus office or den, and one-and-a-half remodeled baths. The main bath was fully renovated with updated flooring, tile, vanity, sink, and fixtures, while the powder room features recent updates and custom storage. The screened-in laundry room includes cabinetry, utility sink, and washer and dryer discreetly housed within cabinetry, offering functionality without sacrificing space. The door frame was widened for accessibility and additional storage. Major improvements include whole-house rewiring and new electrical panel (2008), attic re-plumbing with updated supply lines to the street, heat pump and air handler system (2008, serviced 2025), water heater (2013), and hip roof shingle replacement (2012). A comprehensive pre-listing inspection completed January 2026 evaluated roof, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and major systems, all reported in good working order. Additional features include a 220 outlet on the lanai, large storage area above the double carport, painted exterior, vinyl privacy fencing with two lockable gates, mature landscaping with jasmine and hibiscus, and an eco-friendly yard design. High and dry location with no flooding during recent hurricane seasons. Approximately 1,900 total square feet including covered and screened areas. A well-maintained South Tampa home with strong mechanical integrity, timeless character, and move-in-ready appeal.
