You can stop searching, you’ve found the best bungalow with a pool in South Tampa. Located in the highly desirable Gray Gables (Mitchell-Wilson-Plant), on a no-thruway street, this completely remodeled classic 1941 ranch checks all of the boxes, and it’s undeniably charming curb appeal belies all the features that this home has in store.
Entering the home you are greeted by the bright and sunny front sitting room and open kitchen, showcasing spacious countertops, stainless steel appliances and timeless Kraftmaid cabinetry complementing the original hardwood floors throughout. Dual pantry cabinets flank a cozy dining nook with custom storage bench, and additional storage is found in the adjoining mudroom, with custom built-in storage unit, a large multi-use closet, and access via pergola-shaded rear doorsteps to the one-vehicle detached garage, driveway and courtyard area.
Adjacent to the entryway, a short hallway leads to 2 generously sized bedrooms with large closets (1 custom finished, 1 huge walk-in awaiting your personalization) and a beautifully remodeled (2024) bathroom with dual sink countertop and full tub/shower, as well as pull-down access to attic/crawl space and even more storage.
Beyond the kitchen, the den/family room provides access via interior French doors to the true 2-desk office space, as well as the secluded and luxurious primary suite, offering yet another gorgeous, brand new bathroom (2025, featuring dual sink countertop and exquisitely tiled shower), 2 custom finished closets (1 walk in), and a laundry room with stacked washer/dryer and wall to wall cabinetry for storage. The large primary bedroom provides direct access to a huge screened in porch, perfect for entertaining (and also reachable via the office’s exterior French doors) and the gateway to the tropical oasis backyard, where lush, mature landscaping surrounds the perfectly sized pool, featuring large sun shelf with bubbler fountains and umbrella outlet, and a large artificial turf area, while the ample pool deck is equally suited to entertaining or solo sunbathing.
Topped off with a brand new roof (2025, transferable full warranty) and all home/pool mechanicals conveniently isolated in the gated side yard, which also provides further exterior storage possibilities, this home will exceed your every expectation.
Gray Gables offers not only a central location (~10 minutes west to TPA or east to downtown), but a quaint, walkable and architecturally varied neighborhood, anchored by the (voluntary) Gray Gables Neighborhood Association, a social club that offers year round events including a 3-course/3-home holiday dinner, Spring fling block party, Easter egg hunt with coffee and donut truck, Halloween carnival, driveway happy hours and more. Conveniently abutting Kennedy Blvd., but including only Himes and Lincoln Aves as through streets, with coveted K-12 zoning, Gray Gables is South Tampa’s last best-kept secret neighborhood.
