Located in the heart of Virginia Park, one of South Tampa’s most coveted neighborhoods, this home sits within the highly sought-after A-rated Mabry / Coleman / Plant school district and offers an exceptional blend of livability, location, and long-term potential. This thoughtfully laid-out residence features three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a bonus den, and a dedicated laundry room, all set on a solid block construction with slab foundation. The home’s premium interior-of-the-neighborhood location places you just three short blocks from Friendship Park—a local favorite offering open green space, playgrounds for all ages, restrooms, and the perfect setting for afternoon or weekend playdates. Major system updates provide peace of mind, including a 2015 roof that presents like new, a water heater (2022), kitchen appliances (2022 or newer), full interior paint (2026), and professionally cleaned carpets (2026). Plantation shutters enhance the home’s character, and the exterior windows have been replaced, improving efficiency and natural light throughout. The property includes a single-car carport with an attached storage area, both positioned within the original roofline—creating a rare opportunity to easily enclose and convert to a one-car garage if desired. Upon entry, you’re welcomed by a functional foyer with a coat closet featuring a built-in combination safe. The family room and open-concept dining areas are anchored by large six-foot, front-facing windows, flooding the space with natural light. The kitchen is well-appointed with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, white shaker cabinetry extending to the ceiling with crown caps, soft-close doors and drawers, tile backsplash, and under-cabinet lighting—a timeless and practical design. Just off the kitchen, a bonus room offers flexibility as a home office, gym, or creative space, with a conveniently located adjacent laundry room. Stepping out back you are welcomed with a paved walkway leading to a large pavered patio and a separate concrete pad with electrical primed for a hot tub to be added! All this with a fully fenced in backyard! What truly sets this property apart is its near-term and long-term new construction potential. Virginia Park is one of South Tampa’s fastest-growing neighborhoods for infill development, led by some of Tampa’s premier home builders. This property offers multiple paths forward: build immediately, enjoy as a starter home and build later, or purchase as a rental investment that can carry itself until redevelopment—all supported by pricing aligned with land-only comps. As the saying goes—location, location, location. This home is situated in a non-flood zone, has remained high and dry through the decades, and benefits from lower insurance costs. One of the best value opportunities currently available in Virginia Park. Don’t wait—schedule your private showing today.
