Virtually Staged. RARE HILLSBOROUGH RIVER ESTATE...Rarely does a property like this become available on the Hillsborough River. This private 3-bedroom, 3-bath riverfront estate delivers the kind of space, privacy, and waterfront lifestyle that's genuinely difficult to find so close to the heart of Tampa. You will have direct access by boat to Tampa Bay, the Gulf, and beyond. A fully pavered circular drive sets a striking tone from the moment you arrive. Beyond it, the backyard unfolds into a true RESORT STYLE RETREAT: a recently resurfaced pool and spa, lush tropical landscaping, a spacious covered cabana built for entertaining, and a detached, air-conditioned pool house with its own full bath which offers great potential to be converted into an in-law suite or guest quarters for those needing extra living space. The private dock was purposefully designed without underwater support poles, preserving the wide-open river views that make sunsets here unforgettable. Inside, the river stays part of the experience. The kitchen, dining area, and family room are all oriented to capture the water views. The primary suite is a standout: nearly 700 square feet with a private balcony overlooking the river, perfect for slow mornings or quiet evenings. A dedicated full-size wine room, with room for hundreds of bottles, adds a rare touch for the serious collector or entertainer. The wine room could easily be converted into a fourth bedroom or bonus room for buyers needing more flexibility. A first-floor bedroom and full bath offer flexibility for guests or multi-generational living. Recent updates add real peace of mind: newer exterior stucco, a roof approximately 3 years old, HVAC approximately 4 years old, and appliances under 4 years old, along with updated front and rear exterior lighting for added curb appeal after dark. Just minutes from Armature Works, the Tampa Riverwalk, Hyde Park, Downtown Tampa, Tampa International Airport, World Class Beaches. This is your chance to own a private slice of Tampa's riverfront, where waterfront living meets everyday convenience.
