Nestled along one of South Tampa’s most desirable tree-lined streets, this elevated waterfront residence perfectly combines luxury, comfort, and tranquility. With over 3,400 square feet on an oversized lot, the home offers direct access to Old Tampa Bay, where dolphins and manatees are frequent visitors, and every sunset feels like your own private show.

The first-floor den or office includes built-in shelving, surround sound, and an ensuite bath, offering flexibility for guests or work-from-home needs. The chef’s kitchen is a standout with granite countertops, high-end appliances including gas cooktop, floor to ceiling cabinetry, a cozy breakfast nook and gleaming hardwood floors that flow seamlessly into the formal living and dining rooms. The family room exudes warmth and sophistication with a granite-outlined gas fireplace, hardwood floors, and French doors opening to a serene backyard with room for a pool. Crown molding abut the ten foot ceilings throughout the first floor and add an elegant finishing touch. The front door—an art piece from one of Tampa Bay’s historic cigar factories—creates a truly distinctive entry.

Upstairs, the primary suite offers sweeping water views, his-and-her closets, and a spa-inspired bathroom with dual vanities, a garden tub overlooking the bay, and a separate walk-in shower.
