This beautiful newly renovated 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom 1940?s South Tampa home is a must see if you demand a high quality home at the very reasonable price of $333,000.
The perks are abundant in this 1634 square foot residence, with an added 217 square foot Florida room. It has a unique design throughout. It sits upon an oversized 100 X 100 lot, leaving room for a pool, any additions and a gardening space. At first glance of this delicately shaded, light and fresh, yellow home, the warmth and comfort engulf you. The yard is abundant in annuals, perennials, bushes and flowers, with the bright pink azaleas blooming once a year along with a delicious Meyer?s Lemon tree delivering it?s sweet and luscious fruit each winter. There are a total of four large oak trees on the property and a high quality ?helmet? leafless gutter system on 95% of all gutters.
The walkway leading to the front entrance is shaded by two gorgeous large oak trees while three steps leading to the attractive front door welcome you. As you pass through the threshold, the light that illuminates from the two large rectangular skylights and custom track lighting still makes it feel like you are outside in the Florida sunshine. The ceramic tile of the foyer works hand in hand with the newly painted walls allowing your eyes to be captivated by every inch of what is to come. But before you have a chance to set sight upon the rest of the house, you are drawn to the bay window that overlooks that delicately shaded yard. Sensing more Florida sunshine your eyes are drawn up above the bay window and focus on the geometric shaped glass.
The living room immediately offers you a quiet, calming place to sit and relax. The oak hardwood floors are well-cared for, reflecting every ray of light that passes through the foyer and bay window. You will notice how clean and well maintained the baseboards, trim and custom crown molding are throughout the foyer and living room. You will eventually come to find that they remain just as pristine throughout the entire home.
That beautiful oak floor continues into the formal dining room, which has two windows allowing shaded light. The white French doors add to the room?s romantic theme, and serve a purpose by leading into this home?s cozy study. The one-window study has non-slippery polished porcelain tile floors with newly painted walls and that elegant crown molding. Both of these rooms are moderate in size and open to each other, making this a great area to entertain guests and hold family functions. A swinging door separates the dining room and kitchen.
If you believe that a home should have a beautiful, open kitchen with a lot of extra room for storage, then this kitchen is exactly what you are looking for. It utilizes Pergo, faux wood flooring, which keeps the look of the beautiful hardwood floors, with an easier clean-up and protection guarantee. The countertops are a high quality, dark multi-colored marbled granite drawing your eyes into its depth which brings out the stain of the custom built, oak cabinets. The pantry is an organizer?s dream, with large pull-out shelves. You?ll also find two Lazy Susans in the corner cabinets. You?ll find a lot more storage space in the hall closet between the kitchen and laundry room. The appliances in the kitchen are: a white Amana refrigerator with the freezer on the bottom, a built-in microwave, a four burner gas stove with oven and a new dishwasher. The two solar tubes offer plenty of natural illumination so you never have to flip a switch during the day. You?ll also find yourself enjoying the warm glow of moonlight during the night.
Another interesting and appealing layout of this house are open-walled windows from the kitchen that overlook the great room and, beyond that, the new Florida room. The great room has parquet flooring, varnished knotted pine walls and two solar tubes, together with a large mirror. There are three sections of French doors looking out to the Florida room, two of which open. The Florida room has new light grey ceramic tile and white walls and screened-in windows. This room is great for eating outside on a cool night or just sitting and enjoying the Florida sunshine [hence the name].
Off of the great room is the newly renovated full second bathroom. The walls in this room are a pleasant neutral color which draw upon its fresh and clean atmosphere. The sink is a white, porcelain pedestal, with a mirrored medicine cabinet and globe lights above it.
The three bedrooms in this home all feature that beautiful oak floor, newly painted neutral walls and crown molding. The first front bedroom has a moderate-sized closet, a lot of natural light from the windows on two sides and a very large mirror covering the majority of the fourth wall. The second back bedroom also has two walls that have windows, a ceiling fan and a regular closet. The third bedroom does not feature windows, but it does have two doors. This room can be used as a third bedroom, an extra office, a play room or workshop for hobbyists. It has a deep, albeit regular width, closet for clothing or extra storage. There are two spacious closets with shelves in the hall.
The renovated larger main bathroom is remodeled in quality style. It features a double vanity and a new shower and tub combination surrounded by light blue tile. There is natural lighting from the window with globe lights across the top of the mirrored medicine cabinets with a sweet, antique finish ceiling light fixture. All lights in this main bathroom are controlled by dimmer switches. The wall paper adds a depth with its quality. The custom built cabinets have tilt out drawers, together with large roll out shelves. It is in this room you will notice to the left of the shower/tub a digital controller to the in-line Rinnai gas water heater. This feature allows unlimited hot water for the entire house.
Another great feature about this home is its spacious indoor laundry room between the kitchen and the garage. This room features a side by side washer and dryer and carpeted floor with wallpapered walls. There is plenty of space across from the washer and dryer to set up an ironing board. This room possesses a large sliding mirrored closet as well. The garage has been converted into a storage room for extra space, where you will find another large (albeit older) refrigerator.
