Discover one of Tampa’s best-kept secrets—an exceptional Mediterranean-style riverfront estate situated on nearly one acre within an exclusive seven-home enclave along the Hillsborough River. Built in 1942, the property offers approximately 5,200 square feet under roof, including nearly 2,900 square feet of air-conditioned living space and expansive covered porches and balconies designed for Florida living.

The three-bedroom, four-bathroom residence is filled with natural light and distinctive architectural character, including steel doors imported from Mexico, very thick walls, two wood-burning fireplaces, natural stone and tile flooring downstairs, oak plank flooring upstairs, and an indigo glazed Spanish barrel-tile roof manufactured by La Candella. Additional features include insulated windows, underground power lines, and two newer high-efficiency HVAC systems.

A private attached guest suite offers a separate entrance, bedroom, full bathroom, kitchenette, full-size refrigerator, full-length bar, fireplace, vaulted ceilings, and decorative mosaic tilework. Previously used as a successful rental, it is ideal for extended family, guests, a private office, or potential rental income.

The lush tropical grounds are maintained by a private irrigation well and enhanced by illuminated concrete columns and automated exterior lighting. A private dock with a 10,000-pound boat lift provides direct river access and convenient boating to downtown Tampa, Armature Works, the Riverwalk, Tampa Bay, and beyond.

An adjoining approximately .4-acre parcel offers additional future potential. With no HOA and no CDD, this rare estate provides privacy, flexibility, waterfront living, and convenient access to downtown, Tampa International Airport, major hospitals, stadiums, shopping, dining, entertainment, and Gulf Coast beaches.
