5426 Lykes Ln., Tampa, FL 33611

Private and wooded -- a grand property with 70,000 square feet of land on Open Bay. This is in a private family compound only accessible by appointment. A serene place to live in the South end of Tampa accessible to Downtown, all community functions, arts, sports, River Walk, Bayshore Boulevard, the longest waterfront sidewalk in the world, clubs, the many excellent schools, churches, shopping malls, International Airport and white sand gulf beaches. Rarely does a piece of in town property have this much land. One has town, woodlands and boat water. This within walking distance to the horse stables of the Tampa Yacht Club -- a rare find. The house, although built in 1957, has excellent bones for renovation and most all rooms have water views. It has 4 bedrooms plus a den and 4 baths depending on use, a wood paneled library, formal living and dining rooms and a great family garden room. The kitchen could be opened to the family room easily and all these rooms could open with French doors to the water. The beautiful trees enhance the property, but a newly built dream house could still go in the middle. A one of a kind property with so many surrounding benefits and amenities. Very few properties in South Tampa have this much land on the water.
