Welcome to this esteemed estate along Bayside Drive, where you'll instantly feel as if you are stepping back in time to the fabled days of grand living along Tampa Bay's iconic waterfront. A true reflection of days gone by, combined with modern updating, provides the perfect blend of flair and function in this stately home. Stepping through the gated front entry, you'll immediately be drawn to the details that have delighted for more than a century. The dramatic vaulted living room with thick arched plaster doorways, Juliet balconies, and soaring coffered ceiling lure you in with drama and elegance. The stunning dining room is adorned with six sets of arched French doors with exterior views of Tampa Bay and an original plaster chandelier medallion that is a work of art. The sunroom invites natural light through arched windows to illuminate herringbone wood floors and provide views of the pool and grounds. The home's finer details have only been improved upon with updated finishes that include wide plank hardwood floors, marble counters, and high end appliances. All rooms on the first floor are filled with natural light and flow effortlessly when entertaining. The kitchen is equipped for the most discerning chef and opens to the cozy TV area which features a pair of 6ft tall built-in wine fridges. Two stairwells lead you to the second floor where you will find the theater room complete with leather comfort seating for eight, three guest rooms, two baths, oversized laundry and spacious storage room. The main staircase then leads to the primary suite that encompasses the entire third floor. The updated bath includes marble finishes, a deep soaking tub, and glass-enclosed shower, while the dressing room offers an abundance of closet space. Just off the bedroom, you'll find what may be your favorite part of the home...the private observation deck with captivating views of the Tampa Bay. The home's exterior is Gatsby-like with a pool and spa that is set perfectly, providing both privacy and cover, as well as a sunlit deck that wraps the property. The oversized corner lot allows you to enjoy the outdoor space without feeling the intrusion of neighboring properties. Bayside Drive is one of South Tampa's most beautiful and highly sought after streets for both the quiet privacy and the water access that is afforded to homeowners. This estate comes with a dock and 10,000 lb boat lift, allowing direct access to the open waters of Tampa Bay. While this architectural gem is one of Beach Park's original grand homes, it is at a higher elevation than other classic properties of its period. The charm of this home will captivate and delight you from first glance until the moment you call it your own.
