Charming architect-designed lakefront home. This two-story home has 2 bedrooms PLUS loft, 2 bathrooms, and a one-car garage, with 1,480 square feet of living space right on Lake Morley. Built in 1980 and fully remodeled by its architect-owner, it features custom craftsmanship, quality finishes, and tranquil waterfront lifestyle. There have only been two owners in 46 years. The HVAC system was replaced in 2025, and there is a new water heater. The roof is less than 10 years old and its hip-roof design may qualify for insurance discounts. Hurricane straps on the roof trusses can also help with insurance savings. Other updates include a new front door, new insulated double-pane windows and sliding doors, an oversized insulated garage with a new door from 2020, and a wood deck added in 2013. The home was recently pressure-washed and is ready for a fresh coat of paint. When you walk in, you’ll notice the vaulted ceilings, custom skylights, and double-pane insulated windows that make the living area bright and open. The custom media center is the focal point of the living room, and Shade Store roll-down shades with modern iron curtain rods give each room a finished look.
The remodeled galley kitchen stands out on its own. It was designed by an architect and built by a skilled local carpenter to make the most of the space. Cambria quartz countertops and walnut-finished cabinets set the style. The kitchen also features double ovens, a prep and dish sink, a showcase refrigerator, a dual-function dishwasher, double pull-out pantries, custom cabinets, and quality hardware and lighting. It’s as functional as it is attractive. The open loft above the main level can be used as a den or home office. It’s a quiet spot that overlooks the living area, perfect for working from home or relaxing. The loft leads to the owner’s suite, which has a premium wall covering, custom blackout blinds, and direct access to a fully updated en-suite bathroom. The bathroom features a walnut vanity with a marble top, Kohler fixtures, custom metal wall panels, a frameless glass shower, quality tile, accent lighting, and a custom space-saving barn door. Every detail was carefully chosen. The second bedroom is downstairs and the bathroom is just as nice, with upgraded wall tile, a custom oversized wall mirror, a frameless glass shower, a granite vanity top with a leather finish, accent lighting, and premium Kohler fixtures throughout. The design is timeless. Step out onto the screened back porch and enjoy peaceful views of Lake Morley. The natural setting makes mornings and evenings feel relaxing. The wood entry deck adds curb appeal and creates a welcoming first impression as soon as you arrive.
The home is just off Bearss Avenue, with direct access to I-275 and North Dale Mabry Highway. You’ll be close to downtown Tampa, the airport, USF, shopping, dining, and all the everyday conveniences. Truly, a must see!
