About This Property

MULTIPLE OFFERS RECEIVED. It’s rare to find a home that checks off every box on your wishlist, but this historic colonial mini-estate on Mobley Rd is a true gem that may just seem too good to be true. The experience of visiting this home begins when you drive through the property gates & are welcomed to the nearly 2 acres of your own Florida oasis (complete with a new pool!). You may only be 30 minutes from Downtown Tampa, but you feel tucked away in a serene, private world of your own--the best of both worlds for a homeowner who appreciates the convenience of living in a city, but craves the serenity of being surrounded by nature. If you love spending time outdoors, Lake Rogers Park is just across the street & is known for its hiking & walking trails, picnics, camping, fishing, & all kinds of water activities on its 2 freshwater lakes (including one of Hillsborough County’s largest, Lake Rogers). This stately home was originally built & owned by the street’s namesake & first settler of the area, William Mobley; parts of the home even date back to 1871. The house still maintains its historic character & charm, but has been tastefully renovated to meet the needs and amenities of a modern homeowner. When you step inside, you’re greeted by warm, natural light & the inviting feeling that you’re home. The first floor offers open yet cozy entertaining spaces & kitchen, as well as a formal dining room, downstairs master suite, powder room for guests, & large laundry room. The stairs lead to a 2nd level loft area that's ideal for a second living area, game room, or home office, and offers 3 spacious bedrooms & a full bathroom. Downstairs, you’ll appreciate the dark engineered hardwood floors, built-in shelving, rustic wood ceiling beams, & fireplace. The master bedroom is large enough to fit a king-sized bed, and the en-suite is an oasis of its own. The master bathroom includes 2 separate vanities, & the oversized walk-in shower with glass enclosure makes this space feel like your own at-home spa. The kitchen has been fully renovated and features warm white cabinetry, white and gray stone countertops, a deep stainless steel kitchen sink, and stainless steel appliances. The large laundry room is located immediately off the kitchen & offers additional storage, pantry space, and also functions as a mud room. The laundry room leads outside through 2 exterior doors: one which leads to your covered back porch, and the other leads to the carport area which the current owners use as a covered patio for outdoor dining. This property has just as much to offer in its outdoor space as it does indoors! The heated salt water pool and paver deck were just built in the last year, complete with an oversized, 10ft spa so you can fully enjoy it year-round. The back of the property connects to an easement that leads to a lake, where you can kayak, paddleboard, or simply relax beside the water. You can star gaze from the custom built tree house on the property, grow your own garden, or even bring your horse (property is zoned for one horse). The property is centrally located, so it’s easy to get anywhere you need in Tampa--20 minute drive to Tampa International Airport, >30 minutes to downtown Tampa, 20 minutes to the beach & Sponge Docks in Tarpon Springs, & a short distance to the elementary and middle schools & zoned for Steinbrenner High School. There's much to love & explore in this one-of-a-kind home. Make this piece of Tampa history your new home sweet home.
