Welcome to 11714 N Rome Ave, a spacious and incredibly versatile 6-bedroom, 4-bath Tampa home situated on over half an acre with room to live, entertain, work, and play. From the circular driveway and expansive fenced yard to the flexible interior layout, this property offers a combination of space and functionality that is hard to find. Inside, the home features a desirable split floor plan with three bedrooms located on one side of the main level, the primary suite positioned separately near the center of the home, plus two additional bedrooms and a full bath upstairs—ideal for guests, extended family, home offices, or additional living space. At the heart of the home is an expansive great room anchored by an impressive stone wood-burning fireplace. Oversized windows fill the space with natural light and provide views of the large backyard. The updated kitchen features stone countertops, light cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, abundant storage, and generous workspace, while multiple living and dining areas provide plenty of room for everyday living and entertaining. The improved garage offers even more flexibility. Currently finished with air conditioning, it can serve as a bonus room, workshop, hobby space, home gym, or man cave, while still offering the option to convert the space back to a traditional garage. Outside, the fully fenced backyard has no rear neighbors and backs to Lake Magdalene School, creating an unusually open setting in the heart of Tampa. There's plenty of room for outdoor entertaining, pets, recreation, and storage, along with a fire pit, large detached storage shed, and irrigation supplied by a well. Boat and RV owners will especially appreciate the generous parking area and on-site RV hookups for water, sewer, and electricity. The home has also benefited from numerous significant features and improvements, including a whole house fan, a 2019 shingle roof, all-new attic insulation installed in 2026 including new ductwork in 2015 that was professionally sealed by TECO during an energy audit, updated plumbing (no galvanized) and electrical, and hurricane-impact windows and doors. (The sliding door is protected with hurricane fabric.) And as a final bonus to touch on - this home includes a true bomb shelter built in! All of this comes with a convenient Tampa location offering easy access to I-275, grocery stores, restaurants, shopping, and everyday conveniences. With six bedrooms, four baths, more than half an acre, extensive updates, RV accommodations, flexible bonus space, and an enormous great room, 11714 N Rome Ave offers the space and versatility to adapt to almost any lifestyle.
