Property Description
One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Discover a rare opportunity on coveted Davis Islands. Situated on a quiet street near the water, and set on an oversized, .37 acre lot, this single-story 3,202 sq ft residence offers classic character, modern comfort, and exceptional flexibility. The natural-stone front porch leads into a welcoming 20-foot-wide marble-floored foyer. From there, gleaming wood floors guide you into the grand living room featuring a custom fireplace and twin, built-in, lighted glass display niches. A formal, wainscotted dining room follows, framed by arched entries and hidden pocket doors that connect to the gourmet kitchen. The home's generous, versatile layout is ideal for both formal and casual entertaining. The chef's kitchen overlooks the enormous, family room and includes custom cabinetry with extensive storage and pull-out drawers, rich stone countertops, a Fisher & Paykel gas cooktop, Monogram refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, stainless-steel sink with instant-hot water, and a separate prep sink. Enjoy casual dining at the breakfast bar or in the family room's designated dining area, complete with built-in bar cabinetry and a large Sub Zero wine refrigerator. The family room offers serene views of the home's lovely, screened-in pool, spa, and backyard, and features remote-controlled, custom Hunter Douglas blinds, built-in shelving, and a ceiling fan. The primary suite, also overlooking the pool area, provides a spacious retreat. The expansive primary bathroom includes two separate toilet rooms, a bidet, jetted spa tub, large walk-through shower with multiple shower heads, dual vanities, and a two-sided fireplace shared with the bedroom. The split-bedroom plan adds two additional large bedrooms with walk-in closets that share a contemporary, full bathroom. Storage is exceptional throughout, with large linen closets, oversized walk-in closets, and extensive overhead storage in the two car garage. Additional features include a natural gas whole-house generator, a separate laundry room with washer, gas dryer, and wash sink, a powder bathroom and a large, private yard behind the pool that wraps around the home. The fully fenced .37-acre (approximately 16000sf) lot offers both front and rear access-a rare advantage on Davis Islands. This property offers outstanding flexibility: enjoy the home as it is, personalize with updates, or explore the potential to build a new residence with partial water views on this extra-large lot. Living on Davis Islands offers access to one of Tampa's premier lifestyles, including DI Beach, a community pool, tennis courts, dog parks, marinas, a yacht club, and a vibrant village with restaurants, retail, and everyday conveniences. The location is also convenient to top area schools, Tampa International Airport, Tampa General Hospital, downtown, Hyde Park Village, Water Street, and iconic Bayshore Boulevard.
