Step outside and discover what truly sets this property apart. The expansive 1.2+ acre homesite provides a level of privacy rarely found in Tampa. Mature landscaping, generous green space, and waterfront views create an estate-like setting that feels worlds away while remaining close to everything. The screened saltwater pool and lanai were designed for year-round enjoyment, complete with a bamboo plank ceiling, new recessed lighting, new ceiling fans, a 2025 outdoor kitchen, perimeter bug spray system, custom stone privacy wall with built-in fireplaces, and a new pool pump and heater.

Value check
Is the price right?
The internet’s favorite home-value number comes from a single automated model that has never seen the street, the finishes, or the view — which is why it routinely misses by tens of thousands of dollars. The edgeAI estimate combines multiple independent data sources with our team’s on-the-ground expertise in this exact market.
