Property Description
One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. WELCOME to “Highland House” — where quiet, space, and charm meet modern living in the heart of Tampa. If you love the cozy feel of a quaint cabin but want modern finishes, generous square footage, and everyday functionality, this home truly offers the best of both worlds. Set near the back of a dead-end road, beneath mature oak trees, the large property (a QUADRUPLE LOT!!!) feels like your own private, park-like retreat—cool, shaded, and peaceful—with beautiful tree views from nearly every window. No HOA or CDD! The house just underwent a FULL RENOVATION, and everything is NEW; including roof, floors, walls, ceilings, doors, windows, siding, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. No expensive well or septic to maintain here, reliable city water and sewer connections only. Inside, natural light fills the home, creating a bright, airy atmosphere while preserving the warmth and character that make it so special. The massive great room can easily accommodate a large C-shaped sectional or multiple recliners, making it ideal for relaxing or entertaining. A separate front formal sitting area with adjacent dining space near the entry adds flexibility for gatherings or quiet evenings at home. The kitchen is both stunning and highly functional, featuring gorgeous quartz countertops, a 5-burner stove, and an impressively large eat-in layout. With 28 soft-close cabinets, storage is abundant without sacrificing style. Just beyond the breakfast nook is a separate laundry area, adding convenience to daily living. This is a true 4-bedroom home, with closets in every room, and 2.5 bathrooms. The layout offers privacy and flow, with two bedrooms located at the front of the house—one featuring a large walk-in closet—and two additional bedrooms at the back. The primary suite includes an ensuite bath and dual closets. Useable OUTDOOR SPACE is where this property truly shines. Have boats, RVs, trucks, or large trailers? There are multiple parking options for residents and guests alike, with two separate drive paths running the full length of the property on either side of the house. An asphalt parking pad on the north side of the home measures 10' x 34.5', located adjacent to the covered patio with separate rear entrance to the great room. On the south side, a large concrete pad measuring 12.3' x 24' sits near the rear kitchen entrance. An additional concrete slab measuring 14' x 9.5' sits only feet away, toward the rear of the house. These existing concrete pads have been cleared and are ready for whatever you can imagine—outdoor dining areas, pole barns, garages, sheds, animal enclosures, greenhouses, and more. Just outside the rear kitchen door, an open patio measuring 15' x 10.3' offers a convenient spot for outdoor entertaining and grilling. Just add some string lights and a table set. At the back of the property, you’ll find a very usable shed with interior space measuring 12' x 14', complete with a covered lean-to (8' x 16'). The shed includes lighting and both interior and exterior power outlets, making it ideal for tools, hobbies, or projects. All of this charm, space, and freedom is incredibly hard to find—especially in such a central location. Tampa International Airport, downtown Tampa, the Florida State Fairgrounds, and USF are all reachable within 15 minutes. Highland House is more than a home—it’s a rare opportunity to enjoy privacy, flexibility, and character without giving up convenience.
