Welcome home to the historic Mediterranean estate of 190 Bosphorous Ave! A truly stunning private estate in the heart of Davis Islands, this exceptional residence is listed on the National Historic Registry and was among the first homes ever built on the island. Known as the “Washington House,” it was designed by one of the era’s premier architects and has been beautifully restored to blend historic charm with today’s modern standards. Situated on two expansive corner lots, the property is fully enclosed by a masonry wall with elegant aluminum balconies and gated entry, creating a rare sense of privacy and presence. The estate includes the impressive main residence, a two story guest house with two separate private entrances, a three-car garage, and a resort-style pool with a charming patio and fireplace—all surrounded by lush, mature landscaping. Timeless architectural details are showcased throughout both the exterior and interior. Upon entry, a grand restored original wood door opens to a breathtaking circular foyer featuring a dramatic staircase with brand new marble flooring. To the left, a spacious formal dining room connects to the gourmet kitchen and breakfast area. The kitchen is fully remodeled with brand new Viking appliances, quartz countertops and rich white shaker cabinetry with soft close. Just beyond the kitchen, a versatile den—also ideal as a fourth bedroom—features an adjacent half bath. On the right side of the home, the expansive formal living room with fireplace is complemented by a sunroom and a large family room that opens to the covered patio and pool area, creating a perfect indoor-outdoor flow. Upstairs, the staircase is lined with charming casement windows, leading to the serene primary suite complete with beautiful hardwood floors, three closets, a historic timeless bath, and access to two separate private balconies. The second bedroom offers a front-facing sitting area, while the third bedroom includes its own balcony. Bedrooms two and three share a beautifully updated bathroom, with a conveniently located second floor laundry room with new cabinets and quartz countertops. The outdoor spaces evoke a true resort ambiance, featuring manicured gardens, ambient lighting, pool and lounge areas, and a gazebo along with a stunning water fountain feature. This one-of-a-kind estate offers a private, luxurious lifestyle just minutes from downtown Tampa, Channelside, and everything the city has to offer. Enjoy all the recent renovations including: new paint throughout home, garage and guest house, new marble and luxury vinyl flooring in the guest home, updated bathrooms, new HVAC, air handler and duct work, new plumbing and all new aluminum balcony railings. Please note: the Main house has 4,475 SF with 3 beds, 3 baths and an office. The Guest house is 1,216 SF with two separated floors: the 1st floor has 1 bed, 1 full bath, living space and space for an efficiency kitchen while the 2nd floor has 1 bed and a 1/2 bath. This one won't last!!
