3 bedroom, 3 bath, 2-car garage single-story home set on a rare oversized homesite in Bay Port Colony, featuring an expansive private pond—approximately two-thirds of the pond is included with the property—and a peaceful, park-like setting beneath a canopy of mature shade trees. A covered front porch, wide driveway, and clean, neutral exterior create a welcoming first impression, complemented by low-maintenance landscaping, a fenced side yard, and a charming vinyl picket fence. The backyard opens to sweeping green space and tranquil water views, offering a true sense of privacy and connection to nature. Herons, egrets, turtles, and water lilies are frequent visitors, while evenings bring open skies and calm reflections across the pond. Inside, bright open-concept living spaces support everyday comfort and entertaining. The vaulted main living area features rich hardwood floors, decorative wainscoting, and a stone-accent wood-burning fireplace, and windows that flood the space with natural light. The adjacent dining area continues the open feel with vaulted ceilings, hardwood flooring, a statement chandelier, and French doors. The kitchen offers a functional layout with abundant cabinetry and counter space, a large pantry, stainless steel appliances, and a pass-through counter that keeps the space connected. A sunlit eat-in nook provides flexible room for casual dining or morning coffee. The fully air-conditioned Florida room, lined with windows and overlooking the pond, is ideal for relaxing, entertaining, or enjoying the view year-round. A convenient third full bath located just off this space adds flexibility for guests or extended living. The primary bedroom features hardwood floors, a ceiling fan, ample natural light, and a private en-suite bath with a tiled walk-in shower and extended double vanity. Two additional bedrooms provide versatility for guests, home office, or library use, supported by a full second bath with tub/shower combination. An added bonus: the home sits directly adjacent to the Upper Tampa Bay Trail, offering miles of scenic walking, jogging, and biking just steps away. All of this is located just minutes from downtown Tampa, residents have easy access to a wide range of shopping, dining, and entertainment options, yet still come home to a peaceful residential neighborhood. The community is also conveniently located near several top-rated schools, making it an ideal choice for families. For those who enjoy the outdoors, Bay Port Colony is just a short drive from several beautiful parks and nature preserves, offering additional endless opportunities for hiking, biking, and wildlife viewing—and with the Upper Tampa Bay Trail right next door, your outdoor adventure can begin the moment you step outside.
