5019 W Dickens Ave., Tampa, FL 33629

Most of the value here is in the land. But, don't miss the chance at an enviable value in a charming house nestled among Sunset Park's Multi-million dollar homes. In a delightful detour from sterile boxes, sits a lovely red brick colonial built by one of Tampa's premier builders. Yes, the house needs updating; it's had only one owner in the last 54 years. but the bones frame a charming lay-out that spans over more than 2500 sq. ft. Wood parquet paves the way as you pass into the entrance hall, introducing a truly delightful, large, formal living room highlighted by a broad bay window. Double doors can easily seclude this area from the rest of the house. Through those doors is a cleverly designed fireplace that gives light and warmth to the oversized dining room, nearby kitchen and step down family room/den. Then there's part three: The bedroom wing. The master is a bit mind blowing with it's oversized bedroom, office nook, a wall of closets and a walk in closet that could even be confgured into a fifth bedroom with room for a third bath. There's a large side courtyard that, with a little lovin' can return to showplace status.... and there's room in the rear yard for a sculptural lap pool. Oversized one car garage, best schools, convenient to TIA, great restaurants , and in S. Tampa's sweet spot where values continue to break records.
