Property Description
The Ballast Point Home You’ve Been Waiting For – Never Flooded and being sold fully furnished! Nestled in the heart of South Tampa’s highly sought-after Ballast Point neighborhood, this solid concrete block home offers the perfect blend of charm, location, and livability—without compromise. Surrounded by million-dollar homes and just blocks from the iconic Bayshore Boulevard, you'll enjoy morning jogs or evening strolls along the longest continuous waterfront sidewalk in the U.S., just minutes from your doorstep. This oversized 74x120 lot is a rare find in the area, offering a private, tree-lined backyard with plenty of room for a custom pool, outdoor kitchen, firepit area, dog run, or garden retreat—the possibilities are endless. The lush landscaping and mature canopy trees create a serene setting that's perfect for entertaining or unwinding in peace. Inside, the home features 2 bedrooms plus a bonus room ideal for a home office, gym, den, or even a nursery, all with a view of the beautiful backyard. The thoughtfully expanded primary bedroom includes dual closets and a spacious en-suite bath, and also added a dedicated laundry room and flexible bonus space—giving this home both function and comfort. No garage conversion here, no popcorn ceilings, and no awkward floor plans—just a clean, well-maintained interior ready for your personal touch. Ballast Point is one of Tampa’s oldest and most cherished neighborhoods—known for its canopy-lined streets, charming mix of historic and newer homes, and tight-knit, walkable community feel. You’ll be minutes from Ballast Point Park and Pier, where you can fish, picnic, or launch your boat, and just around the corner from the prestigious Tampa Yacht & Country Club. Even better, the Perennial Farm equestrian center—open to the public for boarding and riding lessons—is just blocks away, adding a unique lifestyle touch few other neighborhoods can offer. For outdoor lovers, Gadsden Park sits at the west end of Helen Ave., offering a scenic walking trail, dog park, lake, and picnic areas. And with no HOA or deed restrictions, you’re free to bring your boat or toys—store them on-site and launch from the nearby ramp with ease. Recent updates include a new roof (2023), AC system (2021), water heater (2024), kitchen/dining flooring (2025), and dishwasher (2024)—making this a true move-in-ready home in a prime location. From Ballast Point, you can get to Downtown Tampa in under 10 minutes, reach MacDill Air Force Base in less than 5, and enjoy quick access to the Crosstown Expressway, Hyde Park, SOHO, Amalie Arena, and Tampa International Airport.
