Nestled in the heart of highly coveted Hyde Park, this exceptional residence seamlessly blends timeless architectural charm with refined modern luxury. Originally built in 1915 and meticulously reimagined in 2007 with a comprehensive down-to-the-studs renovation and substantial addition, this four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath home with bonus attic room offers the sophistication of newer construction while preserving the character and craftsmanship of a bygone era. A gracious front porch welcomes you into a spacious foyer where rich hardwood floors, custom wainscoting, plantation shutters, and elegant millwork immediately set the tone. Just off the entry, a beautifully appointed bedroom currently staged as an office with a decorative fireplace overlooks the tree-lined street, creating a warm and inspiring workspace. Nearby, two additional junior bedrooms are thoughtfully positioned alongside a full bath, offering both comfort and privacy for family or guests. At the heart of the home, a stunning Hamptons-inspired staircase elegantly frames the dining area, creating a dramatic architectural focal point while maintaining the openness and flow of the living spaces. The transitional chef’s kitchen masterfully combines modern farmhouse warmth with understated coastal elegance, featuring marble countertops and backsplash, an oversized island, six-burner Electrolux gas range with dual ovens, Sub-Zero refrigerator, wine fridge, and an abundance of natural light streaming through expansive windows. Designed for both effortless entertaining and everyday living, the kitchen opens seamlessly into an inviting yet expansive living room adorned with coffered ceilings, built-in window seating, and French doors leading to the side porch and porte cochere. Upstairs, the impressive owner’s retreat offers a true sense of serenity and scale. Soaring wood-paneled ceilings elevate the expansive suite, which easily accommodates a sitting area, reading nook, and built-in desk space, while the oversized walk-in closet provides exceptional storage. The spa-inspired primary bath features volume ceilings, a statement chandelier, dual vanities, water closet, and an oversized walk-in shower. Ample parking on the street, extended driveway, porte cochère and the attached two-car garage with rare rear alley access. Additional features include built-in surround sound, exterior security cameras, hidden storage, double-pane windows and a metal roof. Recent updates include a 2024 AC system, full exterior paint (2026), and a newly rebuit (2026) rear deck overlooking the fully fenced backyard. Just across the street a fun local tradition has taken shape...you'll enjoy front row seats to a weekly front porch jazz session on Saturdays from 3-5pm....A wonderful gathering between neighbors. Perfectly positioned just two blocks from iconic Bayshore Boulevard and within walking distance to Hyde Park Village, residents enjoy unparalleled access to Tampa’s finest dining, shopping, parks, and entertainment. Downtown Tampa is only minutes away, while Tampa International Airport and International Plaza are conveniently reached in approximately 20 minutes.
