Description

Here is your rare opportunity to own one of the iconic homes in the heart of the highly coveted Historic Hyde Park Golden Triangle. This 4-bedroom home, with office and pool has it all. In one of the best locations in Tampa, on a spacious lot, this home maintains the original character and charm of old Florida living, but with every modern amenity for even the most discerning buyer. All the major systems of the home have been exquisitely restored, no projects or updating needed here; it is truly move-in ready, even both ACs were replaced in 2020. It is zoned for all A rated schools - Gorrie Elementary, Wilson Middle and Plant High. Youre welcomed home by a large wrap around, covered porch perfect for entertaining or just talking with the neighbors. Relax on the front porch swing while the kiddos play out front on the long, continuous sidewalk or in the cul-de-sac; this part of S Dakota is not a cut-through street. Mature jasmine beds, tasteful Florida landscaping and a long driveway wide enough for a large SUV to comfortably fit adds to the convenience of this location. There is also a one car garage that abuts the functional alley behind the home. It has extra height for a future in-law suite upgrade or she-shed. As you enter under the front porch to the foyer with its abundant natural light, youll see a grand formal living room with a remote-controlled gas fireplace and real hardwood floors for entertaining. This flows into a formal dining room large enough for dinner parties with its own entrance to the porch. The windows have been lovingly restored and feature plantation shutters for privacy and shade and are fitted with beautiful hardware. Continuing into the meticulously renovated, open-concept kitchen and family room combination, youll find everything needed for a gourmet chef to feel right at home. A professional grade 6 burner gas range and vent hood to the outside is set against a beautiful herringbone pattern backsplash. Soft close cabinetry and premium granite countertops with under-cabinet task lighting and professional grade appliances round out the kitchen with a touch faucet and an eat-in area at the large island. Entertain friends or just lounge with family in the large open family room that connects the kitchen, through elegant French doors, to the rear cover and screened-in porch with ceiling fans to the backyard, and the pool. The rear porch and deck has Trex synthetic decking and is maintenance free. The new 2020 pool and 1 car garage and shed are in the large backyard under the grand oak that brings shade and privacy. There are four bedrooms upstairs with a centralized laundry room and a spacious master suite with a luxurious and spa-like master bath complete with claw-foot cast iron bathtub, a frameless glass walk-in shower, and a huge walk-in closet.
