5916 south 6th street

Tucked into the heart of South Tampa, 5916 S. 6th Street pairs timeless character with thoughtful updates and a backyard that feels like a private tropical retreat. This beautifully maintained 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home offers 3,165 square feet of inviting living space, an attached 2-car garage, and the kind of indoor-outdoor lifestyle that makes Florida living so appealing. Natural light moves easily through the home, highlighting rich hardwood flooring throughout the main living areas and newer luxury vinyl plank flooring upstairs. The spacious floor plan is designed to feel connected without sacrificing comfort, with generous gathering spaces that work equally well for everyday living, entertaining, or hosting a full house. The kitchen overlooks the main living areas, keeping everything connected from casual dinners to weekend get-togethers. The primary suite offers a quiet escape with generous proportions and an oversized walk-in closet, while three additional bedrooms and updated bathrooms provide plenty of flexibility for family, guests, a home office, or hobby space. Abundant storage throughout the home adds another layer of everyday functionality. Outside is where this property truly sets itself apart. The 150-foot-deep lot spans approximately 8,700 square feet and has been transformed into a lush botanical oasis featuring more than 50 varieties of tropical flora, mature palms, landscape lighting, irrigation, and fruit-producing avocado and papaya trees. At the center of it all is an inground swimming pool and jacuzzi surrounded by an expansive screened enclosure with newly replaced screens—creating a private setting for morning coffee, afternoon swims, outdoor dining, and relaxed evenings year-round. Major updates add confidence and convenience, including a new 40-year metal roof, fresh exterior paint, newer upstairs flooring, and the rescreened pool enclosure. A 14-foot grade elevation and historically low home insurance further complement the home's practical appeal. The oversized driveway provides parking for four additional vehicles beyond the attached 2-car garage. The location puts some of South Tampa's best amenities within easy reach. Bayshore Boulevard, Ballast Point Park, Gadsden Park, MacDill 48 Park, MacDill Air Force Base, Tampa Yacht & Country Club, neighborhood dining, downtown Tampa, and Tampa International Airport are all conveniently accessible. Nearby favorites include SOG Café and Mad Dogs & Englishmen, while the planned Interbay Commons development is expected to bring additional retail, fitness, education, and residential options to the area. Spacious, private, updated, and surrounded by mature tropical landscaping, this is a South Tampa property with personality—offering room to live comfortably, space to entertain, and a backyard experience that is increasingly hard to find.
