Description
Rare opportunity to own one of the largest lots in New Suburb Beautiful and one of only a handful of homes with a 3-car attached garage in the neighborhood. Only one other has sold in the past 20 years offering both features. This quintessential beauty is situated on a double lot measuring 120x138 and is like no other. As you approach the John Sample custom home, look around at the street replete with a gorgeous canopy of trees creating an idyllic setting. Note the sidewalks for evening strolls and sprawling front yards for extended play. Imagine visiting with neighbors on the expansive front porch. This gem was designed to echo the 1920s Southern Colonial architecture reflected in the neighborhood, but with a floor plan appealing to modern families. Upon entry, stop to appreciate the 10’ high ceilings, custom crown molding, wood plantation shutters, and the sightline to the fabulously large back yard. To your right, a stately study with built-ins, powder bath and French doors for added privacy. Just beyond, is a sizable sunroom perfect for cuddling up with a great book or extra play space. To the left of the entry, find the spacious formal dining room, ideal for large dinner parties. An added feature of the space is the fireplace (gas and wood burning) with an antique marble mantle, lovingly restored from the original home on the property. Between the dining room and kitchen find a walk-in pantry and built-in wet bar. Imagine the concoctions your favorite mixologist will create to delight your friends! This home was built for entertaining! The kitchen offers a built-in oven, warming drawer, Viking gas range, Subzero side by side fridge and freezer, Scotsman ice maker, microwave and Bosch dishwasher. Guests will love visiting with the chef while seated at the expansive breakfast bar. The kitchen opens to the living room featuring built-ins and a fireplace that is both wood-burning and gas operated. But what will truly impress, are the abundance of windows looking out on the exceptionally large back yard. Beyond the French doors, find a large hand laid brick porch that wraps along the back of the home. Perfect for lounging, dining, setting up cocktail tables or all the above! Gather around the pool deck, take a dip in the pool, relax in the spa or play in the expansive yard. A separate entrance provides easy access to the pool bath. The oversized mud room offers a stackable washer and dryer for wet towels or sports clothes, storage cabinets, a utility closet and a built-in bench for backpacks and shoes. Upstairs, find the primary bedroom with two walk-in closets. The bathroom features a dual sink vanity, a garden tub and walk in shower. Bedrooms two and three, have an extended Jack and Jill bathroom with separate vanities and toilets and a private bathtub in between. Bedrooms four and five each have their own full baths. There is also a great bonus room with closets that could be used as media room, gym or sixth bedroom. The laundry room is enviable with a sink, extra cabinets and counter space. Other features of the home include a long driveway for extra parking, GarageTek storage system, tankless gas water heater, walkable attic with installed flooring, newer roof (2022), and termite warranty. It is convenient to downtown Tampa, A-rated schools (Mitchell, Wilson and Plant), Howard Avenue, Bayshore Boulevard, and Hyde Park Village. X flood zone and no flood insurance required thanks to the neighborhood's higher elevation.
