Step into a perfect blend of South Tampa charm and contemporary refinement. From the inviting front porch of this Craftsman-inspired home—with its strong horizontal profile, tapered brick piers, “bungalow meets modern addition” feel—you immediately sense a graceful balance of heritage and upgrade. The covered porch welcomes guests into the heart of this residence. On the inside, the main level opens with wide oak plank flooring, 9-foot ceilings, and a natural light stream through tall windows. A formal living room anchors the home with a stylish wood-burning fireplace and custom mantle, while adjacent you’ll find a sunroom filled with light and a formal dining area ideal for entertaining. The kitchen was designed with thoughtfulness and style: a center island/breakfast bar, stainless-steel appliances (including an induction cooktop and built-in convection oven), and beautiful granite countertops. The kitchen flows directly into a family room that opens to the backyard patio, creating a seamless indoor/outdoor zone perfect for daily living or hosting guests. The owner’s suite is located on the main floor and delivers both comfort and elegance: dual vanities, a pedestal free standing tub, and a separate glass-enclosed shower. A flexible office/den just off the main level can serve as a guest room, home office or secondary living space. A quaint powder bath is conveniently located adjacent to the study. Upstairs, a well-lit secondary primary suite sits alongside two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom and a convenient upstairs laundry room — creating a thoughtful layout for family or visiting guests. Through every space, architectural details shine: crown molding, wood casings and built-ins honor the earlier bungalow character while the scale of the addition (added in 2017 to the original 1300 sqft bungalow) holds its own for modern life. With approx. 3,224 sq ft of living space, this two-level residence delivers both formal and casual zones, private and shared spaces, and a timeless palette of finishes. Outside, you’ll find a backyard sanctuary designed for both activity and relaxation. A contemporary lap pool (added in 2018) offers a clean, long swim lane and crisp resort-like edges. French doors from the family room open the house to the outdoors, reinforcing the sense of continuous living. The result is a fully fenced-in backyard retreat tailored to lifestyle. Mature landscaping and a low-maintenance lawn border the space, providing privacy and a lush backdrop. Parking and garage access are handled with the same notion of thoughtful design: there is a detached one-car garage, accessed via a long driveway and granting a separate side entry to the kitchen area for everyday ease. An electric vehicle charger is conveniently located nearby and conveys with the home. This home is truly a rare find—melding South Tampa’s street-charm, walkability, bay-close lifestyle, and contemporary amenities. From the welcoming front porch to the refreshed interior and the pool-side retreat, every detail has been sculpted for style, comfort and function. The Sellers are including a 1 year American Home Shield Warranty. You don't want to miss this one!! Call for your private showing.
