About this home
Welcome to this one-of-a-kind 4-bedroom, 2-bath pool home with dedicated office space, ideally situated on a rare 0.3-acre corner lot just one block from the Hillsborough River in the heart of Tampa.
A 1952 Mid-Century Classic, this home blends preserved charm with modern updates and a versatile dual living floorplan. Original hardwood floors, vintage tile, and a handcrafted cocktail bar create a warm, character filled space that feels both timeless and inviting. The spacious downstairs lounge opens to a covered patio and private pool, offering an effortless flow for entertaining or simply unwinding after a long day in your own backyard retreat.
The fully fenced backyard features a double gate entry and expansive space rarely found in the area, perfect for hosting, relaxing, or storing recreational toys. Enjoy true Florida living with a kayak rack and easy access to kayaking, paddleboarding, and peaceful views along the river, plus nearby green space and trails at Reed Park.
Additional property features include an artesian well, utility-connected gas, and a gas stove with off-grid capability that can function using a battery pack. The saltwater pool features a pump and electronic heater and was installed in 2021.
Recent updates include a new HVAC (2019), bathroom remodel (2020), new back patio roof and paint (March 2026), and new appliances including oven/range, dishwasher, and garbage disposal (2025). The home is move-in ready.
