3609 W Leona St., Tampa, FL 33629

Sun-kissed traditional in South Tampa, this home hasn’t been on the market for 20 years- and with good reason! Pull into the wrought-iron gated drive of this 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath + office home (NO flood zone!) with durable HARDIE BOARD siding, 2017 ROOF, Southern exposure and a FRONT PORCH made for sharing cocktails with the best neighbors around. You’ll be greeted by warm HARDWOOD floors as far as the eye can see, 10 FOOT CEILINGS and crown molding, a spacious OFFICE OR PLAYROOM with FRENCH DOORS, separate dining room, powder room, large breakfast room with a WALK-IN PANTRY made for hiding life’s necessities (or a secret fort). The open kitchen and living space are perfect for entertaining. With recessed lights, CUSTOM 42” MAPLE CABINETS, undercabinet lighting, LEATHERED MARBLE backsplash, extra deep single-basin Franke sink and Brizo faucet, separate backyard access, HUGE GRANITE ISLAND island with seating and storage galore, you won’t find a more chef-friendly space. The adjoining living area has a real WOOD-BURNING FIREPLACE for cozy evenings and French doors leading to the covered lanai with fan and recessed lights. The 10-foot VOLUME CEILINGS continue on the second floor along with the HUNTER DOUGLAS WOOD BLINDS and plantation shutters. A convenient LOFT space makes a great reading nook or second desk area and 4 SPACIOUS BEDROOMS, one with EN SUITE, give everyone privacy and comfort. SECOND FLOOR LAUNDRY makes clean-up a breeze. The primary suite is enveloped in light, with TONS OF WINDOWS, an updated bath with oversized walk-in shower, dual sinks, private WC, deep linen closet and walk-in closet outfitted floor to ceiling with a fabulous CALIFORNIA CLOSET SYSTEM. The FULLY FENCED backyard features a detached garage with loads of cabinetry for storage, pro basketball hoop, and ROOM FOR A POOL (WE HAVE THE PLANS)! Catch this one at a great price … there are few that embody all the best a great neighborhood has to offer like walkability to A-RATED SCHOOLS, CORONA PARK and playground, and continuous sidewalks with the convenience of big city living. It’s a short stroll to BBQ, fine dining, Chill Bros ice cream, iconic Bayshore Blvd and a ten-minute drive to top-rated Tampa International Airport, the Bucs, and Lightning games. See the feature sheet for updates including new AC units in 2020 and pool plans as well as Matterport tour. Back on market after first buyers were able to purchase their rental property and not have to make a move.
