Description

Designed by a local designer known for giving each home its own distinctive style and finishes, this impressive two-story residence offers 5 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, 3,459 heated square feet, and a detached 2-car garage on a spacious 7,500-square-foot fully fenced lot. The first floor features an open-concept layout connecting the kitchen, dining area, and living room, creating a comfortable space for everyday living and entertaining. The modern kitchen combines soft greige cabinetry with a dramatic dark black-brown island, sleek handle-free doors, and integrated LED lighting both inside the upper cabinets and beneath them. White quartz countertops complement the cabinetry, while the oversized 10' x 5' island provides generous workspace and storage with cabinets on both sides. A premium Fisher & Paykel appliance package includes two oversized industrial-style double refrigerators, induction cooktop, wine refrigerator, drawer microwave, wall oven, and speed oven microwave. A convenient pot filler completes the kitchen. The kitchen opens directly to the main living area, where an oversized built-in electric fireplace serves as the focal point. The fireplace wall combines warm brown wood decorative panels with micro-cement accents, while the stairwell features another striking micro-cement accent wall. Large sliding glass doors extend the living space outdoors to a spacious covered lanai and a private courtyard created by the connection between the home and detached garage. The fully fenced backyard is landscaped and finished with pavers and an outdoor patio, offering plenty of room to create your ideal outdoor living space. Behind the garage, a double gate provides access to an additional 20-foot-wide strip of land that can be used for boat or additional vehicle parking. The first floor also includes a flexible room that can serve as an office, playroom, or additional living space, along with a private guest suite and full bathroom. Upstairs are a spacious loft, dedicated laundry room, four additional bedrooms, and three full bathrooms. The primary suite features a huge walk-in closet and a spa-inspired bathroom with a freestanding soaking tub and oversized walk-in shower. Built with Florida living in mind, the home features concrete block construction on the first floor, a wood-framed second level with durable cement-board lap siding, and hurricane-impact Low-E windows and doors. Additional features include 9'4" ceilings, 8-foot interior doors, luxury tile and hardwood flooring, designer light fixtures, custom landscaping with irrigation, and a metal roof designed for a service life of up to 50+ years. A built-in wall pest-control system is also installed; activation and ongoing maintenance through the installing company are required after closing. The location puts you close to some of South Tampa's favorite destinations, with Ballast Point Park, Bayshore Boulevard, and the Tampa Yacht Club all within convenient walking or biking distance. Enjoy easy access to the Crosstown Expressway, Gandy Bridge, Downtown Tampa, MacDill Air Force Base, Tampa International Airport, Tampa General Hospital, and the beaches of St. Petersburg and Clearwater. With no HOA fees, no deed restrictions, and no flood insurance required, this property offers exceptional flexibility. For families considering private-school options, buyers should speak with their agent about Florida's school-choice scholarship programs, which may help offset private-school tuition.
