About this home
Virtually Staged. One or more photo(s) was virtually staged. Welcome to 2840 W Shelton Ave, a single-family home tucked on a quiet South Tampa street in the heart of Ballast Point. This 2 bedroom, 1 bath home offers approximately 1,050 square feet of comfortable living space on a rare 65 x 195 lot, giving you a yard with room to garden, entertain, or let your pet roam. Inside, you'll find brand-new hurricane-rated, energy-efficient windows, fresh paint throughout, and an updated kitchen and bathroom, including a new stainless refrigerator. Two well-sized bedrooms with plenty of closet space make this home a great fit for many stages of life. A washer and dryer are included in the covered laundry center at the front of the home, and newer central A/C keeps things comfortable year-round. Outside, the spacious fenced backyard is a true standout in an area of South Tampa where yards this size are unheard of. Relax in the evenings on the screened back porch, and make use of the brand-new large storage shed, perfect for a motorcycle, tools, or anything you'd otherwise pay a storage unit to hold. A driveway and covered carport keep you out of the Florida sun and let you unload groceries dry on a rainy afternoon. The location is unmatched. Just a few houses from Gadsden Park, with walking trails around Lake Gadsden, a 2-mile track with exercise stations, a dog park, and Interbay Little League. The Bay is right at the other end of the street, with unforgettable sunrises over the water before walking or jogging along historic Bayshore Boulevard. Nearby Ballast Point Park offers a great restaurant, a long fishing pier w/ ice cream, a splash pad, and a front-row view of the Gasparilla festivities. MacDill Air Force Base gates are seconds away via a quick bike, scooter, or car ride and close enough to come home for lunch. Enjoy all Ballast Point has to offer with local restaurant favorites along MacDill Ave and the new Interbay Commons, plus easy access to Gandy Blvd, the Selmon Expressway, and downtown Tampa in minutes or by bike, keep everything within a coveted, dense reach.
