Move-in ready 3BR/2BA single-story block home in South Tampa with a backyard rebuilt from the ground up by its landscape architect owner. Built in 1953, 1,500 sqft. /// 2019 roof, 2020 air conditioning, 2020 water heater, block construction, and a full 2020 appliance package covering refrigerator, range, dishwasher, microwave, washer, and dryer. New plank flooring is an eco-friendly, PVC-free alternative to vinyl. Everything here happens on one level, and the open floorplan means you're never cut off from the room you just left. Open and central kitchen with a bar that seats three that overlooks the dining room. From here, two bedrooms sit at the front of the house. One has a Murphy bed, so it hosts guests without giving up the floor space the rest of the year; the other is set up as a home office right now and converts back just as easily. The owner's suite takes up the back of the home, and it's where the house departs from its 1953 footprint- a former bedroom has been converted into a fabulous custom dressing room with built-in vanity. The conversion is reversible, which puts the fourth bedroom back. The laundry room is also at the back, with a door out to the garden patio. That yard is the part you'll remember. A landscape architect owned this house and treated the outdoor space like a project, revamping and replanting it so there's something worth looking at in every season. A large storage shed handles the overflow, and the long driveway gives you room to park. You're minutes from Dale Mabry and Gandy Boulevard, which puts the Gandy Bridge, St. Petersburg, and downtown Tampa all within easy reach!
