Description

Perfectly positioned in the heart of Historic Hyde Park this extraordinary Spanish Revival residence offers one of South Tampa's most coveted lifestyles. Whether you're a power couple, a small family, or seeking the ideal retreat for your next chapter, this rare single-level estate provides a peaceful sanctuary while placing you at the center of it all. Here, quality takes precedence over quantity. A refreshing departure from the typical Hyde Park bungalow, this home is one of the area's rare examples of Spanish Revival architecture & the peace of mind of masonry construction. A long driveway leads to the porte-cochère to a covered side entrance, while garden-lined stem walls frame the approach to the inviting front porch. Anchoring the front yard, a majestic live oak serves as a reminder of Tampa's rich heritage. Recently painted SW "White Star," the exterior is complemented by soft gray trim and elegant copper-accents. Inside, hardwood floors and plantation shutters create a timeless backdrop throughout. The inviting family room centers around a wood-burning fireplace, while the spacious formal living and dining room offers exceptional versatility. Glass French doors open to the recently updated kitchen, where charcoal quartz countertops, soft gray shaker cabinetry, black hardware, and an ornate tile backsplash create a refined yet functional space. Stainless steel appliances, including a gas range, complete the ensemble. Just beyond, a charming alcove currently serves as an office but could easily become a breakfast nook. The bedroom wing offers privacy and character, highlighted by a delightful hall bath featuring a clawfoot tub and classic checkered tile floors. Through an arched opening, two generously sized bedrooms await, including a spacious primary suite complete with a custom walk-in closet and beautifully updated bath featuring marble finishes. Then comes the home's unforgettable centerpiece. Step outside and discover a truly resort-worthy oasis. Beneath the pergola-style covered patio with tongue-and-groove pine ceiling, you'll find the perfect setting for alfresco dining and relaxed evenings. The expansive swimming pool—large enough for morning laps—creates a tranquil backdrop surrounded by tropical landscaping, mature palms, and exotic plantings. Beyond the pool lies a hidden treasure—a remarkable 700-square-foot casita designed with the same Spanish Revival spirit. Enhanced with Saltillo tile floors, this private retreat offers its own pergola, family room, dining area, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, and walk-in closet, making it ideal for multigenerational living, long-term guests, or a private home office. The entire backyard is enclosed by contemporary horizontal fencing. Perhaps most impressive is the lifestyle this address affords. Anderson Park—with playgrounds, basketball courts, and year-round events—is just steps away. Hyde Park Village, with its collection of Tampa's finest restaurants, boutiques, cafés, bars, Sunday markets, festivals, and CineBistro, is moments from your doorstep. And just five blocks away lies Bayshore Boulevard, home to the nation's longest continuous waterfront sidewalk known for walking, running, and cycling. Rarely does a home combine architectural significance, resort-inspired outdoor living, a private guest residence, and one of South Tampa's most walkable locations. Experience one of Hyde Park's hidden gems while the opportunity still exists.
