One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Tucked away in the heart of Ballast Point, just a block and a half from Bayshore Boulevard's iconic waterfront sidewalk, this charming mid-century modern home offers peace of mind, timeless character, and the lifestyle that draws people to South Tampa. Built in the 1950s and lovingly cared for, the home experienced no flooding during Hurricanes Helene or Milton, and has been thoughtfully updated since its purchase in 2020. Inside, hardwood floors run throughout warm, inviting living spaces that blend classic design with modern comfort. Over the years, the owners have made extensive improvements, including electrical and plumbing, updated countertops and appliances, refreshed lighting, fans, blinds, baseboards, half bath, tankless water heater, and new exterior doors - all enhancing both function and style. A newly added lanai expands the living space outdoors, while updated landscaping and an outdoor shower create a private backyard retreat. The oversized backyard is a rare find in this neighborhood, offering room to entertain or just relax on your beautiful screened in lanai. Adding even more value, the seller will include architectural plans for a separate extended family residence, opening the door to multigenerational living or a private guest space. This is a place to put down roots, enjoy evening walks along the bay, and truly feel at home in one of South Tampa's most beloved neighborhoods.
