7201 HODGEWOOD Ct

Virtually Staged. This custom-built home sits on over two acres of land in the heart of Tampa. Offering a private, serene retreat shaded by mature oaks and fruit trees, it serves as a true sanctuary with stunning sunset views. Part of the property is a designated conservation area, providing a natural buffer against street noise and an unparalleled haven for a variety of birds. This two-story residence boasts 122 feet of frontage on Lake Egypt—a 60-acre, spring-fed lake—and features five bedrooms (one of which can serve as an office or additional sitting room) and three full bathrooms. The ground-floor primary suite is a peaceful haven featuring a coffered ceiling, en-suite bathroom, spacious walk-in closet, and breathtaking lake views. The second floor offers three spacious bedrooms, a large loft overlooking the main living area, and a full bathroom equipped with double sinks, a separate shower, and a bathtub. The home’s layout also includes a cozy family room with a wood-burning fireplace. Two side driveways provide convenient space for storing boats or RVs, as well as ample parking for guests. The outdoor living area centers around a unique, sunken, atrium-style covered porch overlooking Lake Egypt. A pergola draped in jasmine and wisteria creates a shaded sanctuary with views of the lush landscaping and a three-tiered fountain. Measuring 42 by 16 feet, this expansive pergola is the perfect setting for hosting outdoor garden parties. You can enjoy water skiing and fishing right from your own backyard in the crystal-clear waters of Lake Egypt. The property is further enhanced by mature fruit trees—including mango, orange, guava, avocado, and banana—creating a true tropical paradise. There are no additional Homeowners Association (HOA) or Community Development District (CDD) fees. Notably, this home has never flooded, not even during the major hurricanes that have impacted the Tampa Bay area. A new roof—comparable in quality to the current one—will be installed just prior to closing. The HVAC units were replaced in 2020 and 2025, and the septic system was serviced in 2025. The home enjoys a prime location, very close to Tampa Airport, International Mall, Midtown, and Downtown Tampa. Investors might consider this property an excellent candidate for a "Bed and Breakfast" or "Bed and Cocktails" venture, an Airbnb, or simply a rental property.
