About this property

NEW VARIANCE APPROVED! Property now allows construction of a home up to 40.5 feet wide, offering significantly greater design flexibility. Ideal for builders or buyers seeking a wider floor plan. Escape to your secluded South Tampa sanctuary, where mornings begin with a quiet cup of coffee on your private deck and evenings offer serene moments by the tranquil koi pond, bathed in starlight.

This beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath mid-century coastal cottage sits high and dry on a spacious corner lot—NO FLOOD INSURANCE REQUIRED HERE. From the moment you step inside, you’ll notice the unique mid-century architectural lines, fun coastal atmosphere and gleaming terrazzo floors that mirror the incoming natural light. This layout flows effortlessly and is a haven of simplicity, free from clutter and excess. French doors lead you an expansive backyard deck—perfect for morning yoga, afternoon lounging, or hosting unforgettable dinner parties under the twinkling lights. Cook up something amazing in your outdoor kitchen, dine al fresco, and listen to the peaceful trickle of the koi pond, waterfall and fountain. Enjoy the lush, pollinator-friendly gardens, bursting with vegetables, Jamaican cherry and cocktail trees. Whether you're a passionate gardener or simply enjoy the beauty of nature, this space was designed for both relaxation and abundance.

This home’s solid block construction offers peace of mind and is low maintenance, and also includes a shady carport, storage shed and extended driveway, which is perfect for your golf cart, RV or boat. Enjoy the scenic route home, where your avenue is shaded by a canopy of oaks and is just minutes from Palma Ceia Golf & Country Club, Bayshore Boulevard, and the best dining and shopping South Tampa has to offer. And with zoning for some of Tampa’s top schools—Roosevelt, Coleman, and Plant—you’re not just buying a home; your investment is secure. Schedule your private showing today and experience the charm, comfort, and convenience of Golfview living!
