Do you love the charm of a historic home and yet wish for it to have all the modern conveniences? This updated and restored 1897 South Tampa farmhouse is what you having been looking for! Minutes from the Westshore Marina District, Macdill AFB, Hula Bay and Picnic Island the location is wonderful. Your new home includes four bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a Brand New Roof, and tons of living space (a rarity in an older home!). The picturesque exterior greets you as soon as you drive up. Cheerful plumeria and the brick stairs beckon you up to the fantastic front porch. Imagine beginning or ending your day here, beverage in hand waving hello to the neighbours. You'll want to step inside to be truly delighted. The restored hardwood floors, tall ceilings, and large open living space will enchant you. This entertainment area is set for quiet evenings and lively celebrations alike. Immediately to your right is the first of the four spacious bedrooms, currently used as an office. To the left is the beautiful owner's suite. Abundant natural light and glossy hardwood flooring combine with two walk-in closets and a updated en-suite bathroom to make this a wonderful retreat from a busy day. Your other two bedrooms are across the main living area in a split floor plan. One roomy guest bedroom is towards the front of the home. The other sits behind two beautiful French doors adjacent to the second sitting area. Head into the kitchen to admire the old-world appeal and modern conveniences of this gorgeous room. Bead board ceilings, panelled walls, stainless steel appliances (and a countertop dishwasher), butcher block counters, a unique staircase to the loft (it is used for storage by the owners but could be a quiet nook for reading), plus a pretty pantry infuse this room with charm. Your guests will be enamoured and your home will be the envy of your friends. This home has more space to entertain straight off the kitchen. It is currently set as an extensive dining room. Wood beams, attractive chandeliers, and tons of windows set the stage for amazing dinner parties! French doors lead out from this room to the generously sized, fenced, and private backyard. Guests that wander out here can enjoy the great Florida weather seated on the paved patio. Wintertime will also be a treat with the fire pit set out on the patio. Your laundry room is inside conveniently tucked back off the dining area. This tidy room does have a door to the exterior and plumbing, perhaps you could add a half bathroom in the future? There is plenty of storage in your new home, with the little air conditioned loft at the top of the stairs, the walk-in closets and the shed in the backyard that awaits your toys, tools, etc. Exciting updates include: New Roof -04/2023, partial Restoration/Replacement of sub-flooring and flooring -04/2023, Restored Piers (Smart Jack System) -2021, New Electric Box -2021, French drain system-2021, HVAC -2021, Termite Treatment 2021, Custom Blinds in Dining Room and Kitchen-2022!
