2312 S Occident St

Newly completed in Sunset Park, this Key West-style residence captures the coastal character of South Tampa with a welcoming front porch, architectural roof accents and inviting outdoor spaces. Offering 5,554 square feet, the home features five bedrooms, five and a half bathrooms, a private study, a main-level media room or playroom, and an upstairs recreation room. A three-stop elevator, pool and spa, and approximately 2,000 square feet of additional ground-level flex space further enhance the property. A soaring entry introduces interiors appointed with engineered wood flooring and custom millwork. The formal dining room provides an opportunity to add custom built-ins, a dry bar or a wine display, while ceiling beam detail and a gas fireplace distinguish the great room. The open layout connects to the kitchen and adjoining breakfast nook with lanai access. Thermador appliances, a 48-inch range with pot filler, refrigerator and freezer towers, an oversized quartz island and custom cabinetry anchor the kitchen. A separate prep pantry with a full-size refrigerator offers additional preparation and storage space. Outside, the covered lanai’s tongue-and-groove ceiling and outdoor kitchen create an inviting setting for open-air dining overlooking the pool. The main living level also includes a spacious media room or playroom, a private study with built-in shelving, a powder bath and a guest bedroom with an adjoining full bath. Separate access to the full bath from the lanai conveniently serves the outdoor gathering area. Two laundry areas, one on each living level, add practicality to the layout. Upstairs, the primary suite features a tray ceiling, dual custom walk-in closets and a beautifully appointed bath with a freestanding soaking tub, walk-in shower and dual vanities. A nearby morning bar and direct access from one primary closet to the upstairs laundry area bring additional convenience. Three secondary bedrooms, each with an en-suite bath, accompany an expansive recreation room with an attached kitchenette featuring a full-size refrigerator, sink, and microwave drawer. An adjacent flex room offers space for an additional office, gaming room or fitness area. At ground level, the additional covered flex space, dedicated turf area and pull-through garage access expand the possibilities for recreation and gatherings. The salt water pool and spa extends from the open backyard beneath a portion of the elevated residence, offering both sunlit and shaded areas. Energy Star certification, impact-resistant windows, Icynene spray foam insulation, two Carrier Infinity HVAC systems and a tankless gas water heater support the home’s energy-efficient design. Additional appointments include a 22-kW whole-home generator, integrated home automation and security systems, eight-foot interior doors, level-five smooth drywall, epoxy garage flooring and a paver driveway. Located in Tampa’s established Sunset Park neighborhood, this extraordinary coastal residence is convenient to area schools, dining, shopping, premier sports venues, Tampa International Airport, the Westshore business district and International Plaza.
