Colonial, Historic

Nestled amongst the oak lined streets of New Suburb Beautiful, this home exudes grace and subtle sophistication. This home's curb appeal is straight out of a storybook with its covered entry and gas Bevolo lantern welcoming you in. As you enter into the home, you immediately feel the history of this home with today’s added touches. Originally built in 1930, this center hall traditional home provides you with all of the perfect spaces for gathering with family and friends. Boasting over 4,800 sq. ft, the main home includes a lovely dining room situated adjacent to the kitchen, a spacious formal living room, a charming Florida sunroom and a cozy family room perfectly adapted for your modern day lifestyle. The kitchen features a Sub-Zero refrigerator & freezer along with a 48" gas stove perfect for the most discerning chef. Downstairs you will also find a functional butler's pantry making your day to day life and your entertaining needs a breeze! The second level of the home contains 5 bedrooms and 3 full baths, 2 of which were recently renovated with the most current trends (Serena & Lilly wallpaper, designer tile & fixtures). The oversized master retreat (21x17) is located at the rear of the home with beautiful vaulted ceilings and views of the spacious backyard. It also features a large walk-in closet and stunning, custom made designer window treatments. On the third level, there is a nearly 400 sq. ft. loft that serves as a great bonus space, kids hangout, office or endless storage. As you travel outside through the French doors off of the family room, you will be amazed by the depth of the backyard (138 ft. deep - plenty of room for a pool!) and the massive garage that easily houses two cars. Inside the garage there is a separate workshop for all of your home improvement projects. The 832 square foot guesthouse above the garage consists of a full kitchen, living room, bedroom with queen size bed, full bathroom and a large closet. It has its own hot water heater and central A/C. The home is zoned for A rated schools that include Mitchell Elementary, Wilson Middle, and Plant High. This home is also located close to Hyde Park Village, Howard Avenue shops, restaurants such as Bern's (walking distance) and bars, downtown, Water Street, the Convention Center, the #2 Riverwalk in the Country, Amalie Arena, and shops and restaurants, and best of all, one block from Bayshore Boulevard.
