Rare opportunity to own a true lakefront gem in one of Tampa’s most sought-after and established neighborhoods! Nestled on nearly a half-acre with a beautiful wide waterfront view of Lake Eckles, this lovingly maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers timeless character, incredible potential, and an unbeatable location just moments from the renowned Babe Zaharias Golf Course. Owned by only its second family since the early 1960s, the home is a remarkable reflection of that era, with much of the original dcor, furnishings, and vintage details preserved in pristine condition. Whether you’re a buyer who appreciates mid-century charm and nostalgic design or an investor looking to reimagine and modernize a classic lakefront property, this home offers a rare canvas full of possibilities. Inside, you’ll find spacious living areas, an inside laundry room, and large windows that bring in natural light while showcasing serene lake views. Major updates include a NEW TPO ROOF (2021) and NEW A/C (2024), offering peace of mind while you decide how to make the space your own. Outside, the expansive lot provides endless opportunities for outdoor living, entertaining, expansion, or creating a dream backyard retreat along the water. The oversized 3-space covered carport offers ample covered parking and storage flexibility. Properties with this combination of location, lot size, waterfront setting, and preserved character rarely become available. Whether you envision restoring and celebrating its vintage charm or transforming it into a stunning modern lakefront estate, this is a truly special opportunity in an exceptional location.
