3824 W BAY TO BAY BLVD, Tampa, FL 33629

One of the few remaining historic estates in South Tampa, this 1924 Mediterranean Revival, the “Ship House,” is an iconic landmark offered for the first time in over twenty years. Situated on a grand, nearly half-acre lot that includes one of the largest residential pools in the area, the private grounds contain oaks, mature landscaping, and an expansive lawn that cries out for games of touch football. The home combines timeless character with modern comfort: original oak flooring, dramatic arches, high ceilings, and spacious rooms. The updated kitchen has quartz counters, solid wood cabinets, high-end appliances, and a butler door that leads into the light-filled dining room and from there into the massive living room that stretches the length of the house. The family room boasts a wall of windows and French doors that open onto a courtyard and the pool. The four generous-sized bedrooms are upstairs and contain a sunroom, access to a roof-top patio, a second fireplace, window seats, and beautiful heart-of-pine floors. Attached to the house is a nearly 400 square foot pool room/studio/in-law suite or guest house with a full bath and French doors that open to the pool. The house’s history includes stories of lavish parties and famous guests, like Joan Crawford and Elvis Presley, and the home still provides the perfect flow for mingling, and a driveway that can accommodate ten cars. This is a rare opportunity to carry on the stewardship of this important piece of Tampa’s past.
