Virtually Staged. Set just steps from iconic Bayshore Boulevard, this distinctive South Tampa residence offers a rare combination of location, scale and architectural presence. Built in 1958 and offering approximately 5,520 square feet of living space, the home presents an exceptional opportunity for a buyer with vision to reimagine a substantial residence in one of South Tampa’s most desirable settings.Generous proportions define the home, with expansive living and entertaining spaces, soaring ceilings, a dramatic staircase and an impressive primary suite featuring two private bathrooms, each with its own walk-in closet and soaking tub. Throughout the residence, custom details and distinctive materials provide a remarkable foundation for its next chapter. Handmade plaster crown molding was created specifically for the home, complemented by solid walnut hardwood floors, hand-cut imported Italian travertine, Italian natural slate and custom wrought iron. A gas fireplace with an Italian natural slate stone chimney creates a striking focal point, while handmade Corinthian columns, stone balcony railings and additional stone detailing add architectural interest to the exterior. The home’s impressive scale continues outdoors, with multiple balconies and generous spaces for entertaining. A private in-ground pool, outdoor kitchen, paver-covered areas, mature mango trees and a privacy wall create the setting for a private Florida retreat in the heart of South Tampa. For its next owner, this is an opportunity to take the scale, character and architectural details already in place and thoughtfully transform the residence into a home that reflects a new vision for modern South Tampa living. Rather than starting from scratch, the next chapter begins with substantial proportions, distinctive craftsmanship and a presence that is increasingly difficult to recreate. And then there is the location—perhaps the most compelling element of all. Just steps away, Bayshore Boulevard offers its celebrated 4.5-mile waterfront promenade along Tampa Bay, an everyday destination for walking, running and cycling. Hyde Park Village, with its upscale shopping, boutiques and dining, and the vibrant restaurants and nightlife of South Howard Avenue are only minutes from home. Homes of this scale, this close to Bayshore Boulevard, are increasingly difficult to find—offering a rare opportunity to create something truly personal in one of South Tampa’s most sought-after locations. Some pool photos have been virtually staged to illustrate the potential use of the outdoor space.
