About this home
Perfectly positioned within Hyde Park's coveted "Golden Triangle," just two blocks from both Hyde Park Village and Bayshore Boulevard, 817 S. Willow Avenue represents a rare opportunity to own one of South Tampa's most iconic legacy residences. Originally constructed in 1925, this architectural treasure blends timeless craftsmanship with the modern functionality today's luxury buyers demand. Encompassing 4,488 square feet of living space and 5,752 square feet under roof, the home showcases soaring ceilings, original hardwood floors, extensive millwork, abundant natural light, and the character-rich details that have made Hyde Park one of Tampa's most celebrated neighborhoods. Set on an oversized lot along one of the area's most desirable streets, the residence is introduced by a gracious front porch and distinctive porte-cochère—architectural hallmarks of Tampa's early twentieth-century homes that are seldom found in modern construction. Inside, expansive living and dining spaces, a light-filled sunroom, and oversized windows create an atmosphere that is both elegant and inviting. Designed for entertaining yet equally suited for everyday living, the home offers an exceptional balance of formal and informal spaces while preserving the warmth and authenticity that define Hyde Park's most treasured residences. Since acquiring the property, the current owners have made considerable investments in a comprehensive renovation and modernization program while preserving the home's architectural character. The second floor was extensively reimagined to better accommodate modern living, including the creation of a third full bathroom, relocation of the laundry room to the second floor, and a thoughtful redesign of the primary suite. The result is a luxurious owner's retreat featuring a beautifully renovated spa-inspired bath and an adjoining flex space that can serve as a fitness studio, private office, nursery, sitting room, or future dressing room. The original upstairs bathroom was reconfigured into two separate full baths and rebuilt with updated plumbing systems and designer finishes. Beyond the interior renovations, ownership completed a host of meaningful capital improvements, including hurricane straps, Smart Shades, new HVAC system, new perimeter fencing, and a comprehensive modernization of the pool and spa systems featuring wireless automation, a pool heater, variable-speed equipment, saltwater conversion, color-changing lighting, and smart controls. Previous stewards of the property also invested in structural reinforcement of the home's piers and support columns, helping preserve this historic residence for generations to come.
Outside, the private backyard retreat is anchored by a heated saltwater pool and spa, mature landscaping, multiple entertaining spaces, and a two-car garage with front driveway access through the property's historic porte-cochère. Few homes offer the opportunity to enjoy Tampa's most coveted walkable lifestyle from such a distinguished address. Morning runs along Bayshore Boulevard, coffee and dinner at Hyde Park Village, neighborhood gatherings beneath century-old oaks, and some of the city's finest schools, dining, and recreation are all just moments away. Properties of this caliber rarely become available. Rich in history, elevated by thoughtful modernization, and situated on one of Hyde Park's most coveted streets, 817 S. Willow Ave is a legacy home designed to be enjoyed for generations to come....
