Nestled beneath the canopy of mature oak trees in Ballast Point, this three-story traditional home
blends timeless architecture with exceptional craftsmanship and thoughtfully curated design. The
home was custom built by its original owners and was thoughtfully reimagined just five years
ago with the guidance of designer David Van Ling, preserving its classic character while
elevating it for modern living. Every floor showcases exceptional attention to detail, with custom
window treatments, designer wall coverings, and built-in features that elevate the home's luxury
and appeal.
The first floor is designed for both everyday life and gracious entertaining. A handsome
den/study provides the perfect work-from-home retreat, while the formal dining room seamlessly
connects to the heart of the home--a beautifully appointed kitchen and family room designed by
acclaimed kitchen designer Chip Vogel. The open gathering space extends effortlessly through
French doors to a spectacular screened porch spanning the entire width of the home, creating an
inviting indoor-outdoor living experience overlooking the backyard.
The second floor is anchored by an exceptional primary suite, featuring true his-and-her
bathrooms for the ultimate in privacy and luxury. Her bath, affectionately known as the "Jewel
Box," is an elegant sanctuary complete with exquisite finishes and an expansive walk-in closet.
His bath offers a sleek, modern aesthetic with an integrated closet for streamlined convenience.
Also on this level is a spacious ensuite secondary bedroom and a generously sized laundry room.
The third floor offers remarkable flexibility with a private third bedroom and an expansive bonus
living area complete with a mini kitchen, making it an ideal guest retreat, media room, home
office, or multi-generational living space.
The backyard may be compact in size, but it is thoughtfully designed to maximize both beauty
and function. Bluestone pavers create elegant outdoor living spaces, leading to a pergola-covered
grilling area on one side and a tranquil raised patio surrounded by lush turf on the other--
offering multiple settings for entertaining or quiet relaxation. The detached two-and-a-half-car
garage provides ample space for vehicles, storage, and a workshop. A deeded easement with the
neighboring property ensures convenient ingress and egress to the garage.
Surrounded by the charm and beauty of Ballast Point's picturesque, tree-lined streets, this
exceptional residence reflects the care and pride of a single owner who thoughtfully created and
meticulously maintained the home over the years. With the architectural vision of David Van
Ling, the custom kitchen by Chip Vogel, and a comprehensive renovation completed just five
years ago, this remarkable property offers a rare opportunity to own a timeless home that
seamlessly blends enduring design with modern luxury in one of South Tampa's most soughtafter neighborhoods.
