Description of Property
This stunning Mediterranean Revival home, built in 1925 by D.P. Davis, is one of the original gems of Davis Islands, a highly sought-after neighborhood in the Tampa Bay area. Davis Islands offers the perfect blend of suburban tranquility with the conveniences of urban living. Known for its celebrity and professional athlete residents—your next-door neighbor could be one—this vibrant community is always in the spotlight. Ideally located, the home is just a 0.5 mile to scenic Bayshore Boulevard, and within a 2.0 miles to Hyde Park, downtown Tampa, Amalie Arena, and the Water Street District. Major highways, such as the Leroy Selmon Expressway (with direct routes to I-75 and I-4) and I-275, are just minutes away. Tampa International Airport is conveniently 10 miles from the property. Tampa General Hospital—ranked as one of the top hospitals in the country—is just around the corner, MacDill Air Force Base is a scenic 7.5 mile drive along Bayshore Boulevard. Within 0.6 mile, Davis Islands Village provides a quaint "downtown" feel where you can enjoy local restaurants, a coffee or glass of wine, and even a quick stop at the local 7-Eleven. The southern tip of the Islands features a small commuter airport, yacht club, boat launch, dog park, and a dog-friendly beach. Additional amenities include a historic public pool, waterfront tennis courts, little league fields, a playground, and a nearby preschool. This home offers ample potential for expansion, with a backyard spacious enough for an addition and a pool. The front of the house showcases period-appropriate awnings, an original stained glass window, and wrought iron accents. A wrought iron gate and fence add both charm and security to the home’s exterior. Inside, this beautifully preserved Mediterranean Revival home is filled with historic features. The living room boasts exposed wood beams and a wood-burning fireplace, whose mantel was salvaged from a 1920s hotel in St. Augustine, and is rumored to have originated in France. Stucco walls, arched doorways, and a combination of hardwood and Saltillo tile floors add warmth and character to the first floor. The kitchen, laundry area, and dining room—featuring a Venetian plaster ceiling and an exquisite Italian Murano chandelier—along with a cozy sitting room and a marble-appointed half bath, complete the downstairs layout. Plantation shutters on all windows allow for controlled lighting, and hurricane-rated French doors at the back lead to the spacious yard. The graceful arches and stucco walls continue upstairs, where you'll find three bedrooms and a fourth room currently used as an office, which could easily serve as a fourth bedroom. A shared bathroom features the original tiled floor and cast iron tub, and the office offers views of downtown Tampa and the Mediterranean-inspired architecture of Davis Islands. The expansive master suite includes an en-suite bathroom, complete with original tile flooring and a cast iron tub. Plantation shutters also adorn all the upstairs windows. This one-of-a-kind property combines timeless charm, modern convenience, and an unbeatable location on Davis Islands.
