On a quiet street in West Riverside Heights sits a home that feels less like a listing and more like a family story one carefully written by the same owner who built it for his loved ones in 1978 and tenderly preserved ever since. Location is the first chapter: this is truly one of Tampas best 3 miles from the airport, 4 the shops and charm of Hyde Park, 6 miles to Downtown and close to River Walk,Water Street and Ybor. Whether your life moves by plane, play, or city nights, everything important is close at hand. Step inside and the story turns modern. The interior has been fully reimagined with thoughtful, contemporary finishes while keeping the warmth of a home. New wood plank tile runs underfoot guiding you to a kitchen that becomes the scene stealer: a whopping 21' x 16' chef sized space anchored by a large island, all new solid wood cabinetry, quartz counters, and brand new appliances the kind of kitchen where holiday dinners and weekday spillovers both feel effortless.. French doors lead out to the large backyard. Outside, the plot is its own quiet subplot: a mature, thoughtfully planted landscape that feels intentional and private a garden you could never buy off the shelf. Enjoy mornings beside the fountain, sip evenings on the patio while the yard hums gently with life, and appreciate how rare it is to find such an oversized lot in this pocket of Tampa. A paved roundabout driveway and two car garage make comings and goings easy. One of the homes unique features is the attached in law apartment. A large living room, kitchenette, and full bedroom and bath, its ideal for multigenerational living, long term guests, or a private retreat for an adult child or parent. In short: a home this large, this upgraded, and this well cared for is a rare find, and its ready for its next family to add a few chapters of their own.
