It's always sunny at this sweet Tampa rancher. Built in 1963, this house shines with a real midcentury aesthetic. Its sleek exterior shape belies a spacious and bright floor plan, consisting of three bedrooms, two baths, two generously-sized living/family rooms, and a separate dining room. A bank of horizontal casement windows runs along the dining room wall and will provide ample rays for your houseplants to flourish, while sitting just high enough to avoid the fishbowl effect of neighbors being able to see what's for dinner. The dining room also glows with legit original parquet floors that give even more midcentury flair. Both the living and family rooms have fireplaces, which lend a cozy factor to those chillier days. The huge living room windows will provide tons of illumination for reading and also allow for the perfect spot for your cats to get their solar recharge. You'll easily meet your vitamin D requirements on the sizable deck overlooking a private back yard. Your farmer's tan will be on point after spending hours tending the ample perennials in the front yard. Your eyes will definitely light up when the figs come in. For those rainy days, the carport will make grocery schlepping a dry affair and provides a place to park bikes and other recreational items for when the clouds give way to sun. You'll be walking on sunshine after making this house your home.
