One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Welcome to historic La Belle Maison Bleue at Bayshore Beautiful. Located in the highly desired and prestigious Bayshore Beautiful district, this elegant home is just steps from the ocean blue waters of Hillsborough Bay and the famous Bayshore Boulevard, the world's largest continuous sidewalk (4.5 miles to walk, jog, bike, or skate). The home is situated on a quiet street lined with old oak trees and friendly neighbors. Inside the home, you'll find classic hardwood floors and high ceilings. Rooms are filled with natural light shining through the many windows. The spacious living room has a brick wood-burning fireplace that is also equipped with a natural gas insert just perfect for cozy winter nights. The sunroom offers a peaceful space to read the paper in the morning or to relax in the evening enjoying the moonlight. The charming dining room includes a custom floor-to-ceiling china hutch. Upstairs is a bright sunroom with wrap-around windows perfect for a reading room or converting it into a spacious laundry room. The one-car garage is oversized and has a large storage room. This space also has great potential to be a nice home office. The brick patio is perfect to install an outdoor kitchen or a temperature-controlled Florida room. The 1 car garage is grandfathered at its location (to the property line) so you take full advantage of the property. Take in some relaxation sitting on the bench at the end of the street. Enjoy watching the birds fly by and the fish jump! Embrace the surrounding beauty of the bay, breathing in the fresh salty air. It is the perfect refuge from the cold and snow!
