Start Living Your Best Hyde Park Life! 6 Year NEW custom-built home by Bob Bell Homes within easy walking distance of Old Hyde Park Village, convenient to the Selmon Expressway and downtown Tampa.Enjoy the privacy of the secluded third floor deck showcasing a lovely Tampa skyline view from the treetops, with a cup of coffee in the morning watching the sunrise, or enjoying your favorite aperitif while watching the golden sunset colors on the skyscrapers, just a few steps from the master bedroom. Parties and Holidays will never be the same (rain or shine) with the patio deck that has both an outside and inside sitting area with a wet bar and fridge. It’s a great place to watch fireworks over Curtis Hixon Park or SpaceX launches from Cape Canaveral over the Tampa skyline!
From the foundation and oversized two-car garage on the first level to the third level master bedroom, the wet bar/loft area and rooftop patio, all aspects of the construction of the home were designed and monitored during construction to ensure the best quality and maximum use of the available space. The large custom kitchen features natural stone counters, extensive custom cabinetry, two wall ovens (one is also a large microwave), gas cooktop, pot filler cooktop faucet, and a large hood venting to the outside.
All three levels feature beautiful, dark-wood floors and stairs. All bedrooms and street-facing first floor windows feature beautiful white custom plantation shutters, for privacy and to control the amount of light desired. The first floor windows have custom upper transom windows for additional natural light. The side yard features a secluded and cool sitting area under a lovely shade tree canopy, with a beautiful contemporary horizontal plank cedar fence, black iron gate, and low-maintenance artificial grass making it an inviting place to sip a cool drink on a hot day.
The open floorplan construction, with the staircase in the center of the home, allows for all second floor bedrooms to partake of the full amount of nature’s light for each room through oversize windows. The laundry room with natural stone countertops and custom cabinets is in the center of the second floor for added convenience. There’s an additional balcony on the 2nd floor which can be accessed from the loft area and the large west side bedroom. Two second-floor bedrooms feature large custom-designed, walk-in closets.
The large master bedroom faces east, south, and west for sunlight all day long, spanning the width of the third floor and almost half the depth. It’s enviable with a luxurious master bath, freestanding pedestal tub, oversize shower and a tremendous custom-designed walk-in closet. Just a few feet away is the secluded and peaceful loft and patio deck area.
Some of the technical aspects of the home are the 3 zone A/C system – one for each floor – and it is extensively wired for CAT6 internet connections and coax cabling for TV to every bedroom and living space. In addition, the first floor and third floor sitting areas are wired for surround sound in the walls and ceilings. There’s a 10-camera video surveillance system that’s accessible anywhere by phone. All are wired thru a central second-floor media closet for ease of change and maintenance.
The roof features tightly sealed spray-in foam insulation for energy efficiency, and the home has low cooling bills. All windows are double-pane for energy efficiency plus peace and quiet, and hurricane-rated to 150 mph. As the home is not in a flood zone and built to recent code standards, insuring the home is much less expensive than insuring a typical older home in the neighborhood.
