Property Description

Welcome to a truly rare property where versatility, lifestyle, and intentional living come together in one unforgettable property.

Set on a beautifully utilized 9,850 sq ft fenced lot in one of Tampa’s most established and centrally located neighborhoods, this 4-bedroom, 2-bath home is 2,169 square feet of living space, plus a massive air-conditioned Florida room not included in the official square footage—providing exceptional flexibility for entertaining, recreation, work, or relaxation.

Beyond the home itself lies something increasingly difficult to find: your own private urban homestead in the heart of the city. Thoughtfully cultivated for both beauty and abundance, the property features a thriving self-sustaining food forest designed to support a more intentional lifestyle—allowing you to harvest fresh produce directly from your own backyard.

Enjoy an extraordinary collection of mature edible landscaping including:

Lemon, Orange, Tangerine, Coconut Cream Mango, Jackfruit, Mulberry, Fig, Florida Avocado, Sugar Apples, Dragon Fruit, Pineapple, Passion Fruit, Elderberries, Coconuts, Curry Tree, Aloe Vera, and Hawaiian Plumerias.

The backyard has been crafted as a true retreat for gathering and memory-making, complete with a massive four-person swing, custom fort, outdoor soaking tub, and expansive yard space—creating an atmosphere that feels more like a private sanctuary than a typical suburban lot.

Adding exceptional flexibility is the detached, officially converted 400 sq ft mother-in-law suite with private entrance, full bath, and kitchenette— possible multigenerational living, guest accommodations, private office space, long-term rental income, or Airbnb potential (buyer to verify local regulations).

Inside, the home there is granite countertops, warm wood flooring, soaring ceilings in the main living and Florida rooms, abundant natural light, and a spacious walk-in closet, blending character, comfort, and functionality throughout.

For homeowners and investors alike, this property provides opportunities for:

Intentional family living
Multigenerational living
House hacking / supplemental income
Long-term rental strategies
Airbnb potential

Conveniently located near USF, Busch Gardens, Adventure Island, Hillsborough River boat launches, state parks, sports complexes, parks, top-rated schools, and major commuter routes, this home is the perfect balance of accessibility and escape.

Whether you envision a family sanctuary, an income-producing asset, or a more self-sufficient way of living—this property delivers a lifestyle rarely found within city limits.
