One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Picture-perfect South Tampa Craftsman with the lot size everyone is looking for. Set beneath a canopy of mature oak trees in the coveted Bayshore Beautiful neighborhood, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home sits on an expansive nearly quarter-acre lot (65' x 140') with a long driveway leading to a detached 2-car garage and a truly oversized backyard-rare for this area and ready for a pool, expansion, or both. The wraparound porch sets the tone-classic, quiet, and made for slowing down. Think evening breezes, the sound of cicadas, and a place that feels like home before you even step inside. Through the glass-pane front door, you're welcomed into a warm living space anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, with a flowing layout that connects to a family room and easy access back out to the porch. A powder bath is tucked conveniently on the main level. The formal dining room is framed by timeless Craftsman-style colonnades-defining the space while keeping it open-perfect for displaying books, art, or simply keeping conversation connected. Beyond, the kitchen offering gas/“dual fuel” cook top and breakfast dinette overlook the deep backyard, offering both function today and clear potential for those who want to reimagine the space entirely. The first-floor primary suite provides privacy and convenience, with direct access to the porch-ideal for morning coffee or a quiet reset at the end of the day. Upstairs, two generously sized bedrooms share a semi-private Jack-and-Jill bath, offering flexibility for guests, family, or work-from-home needs. Major updates include a metal roof (2019) and two AC systems (2020). Located in Flood Zone X-no flood insurance required. Positioned just minutes from everything that defines South Tampa living: the iconic Bayshore Boulevard Linear Park, top-rated Ballast Point Elementary School, waterfront afternoons at Ballast Point Park, and the option to join Tampa Yacht and Country Club just down the road. Dining, shopping, and daily conveniences are all within a short drive, along with downtown Tampa, Tampa International Airport, and weekend getaways via the cruise port. A home with character, space, and upside-in one of Tampa's most established neighborhoods.
