Under contract-accepting backup offers. Tucked behind the gates of Bay Arbor, 364 Ventura Drive stands out from the moment you arrive with turret-style architecture, arched windows, a paver entry, and a 3-car garage that give this home a level of character and curb appeal that feels different from the typical Florida two-story. Inside, soaring cathedral and vaulted ceilings create an open, airy feel with natural light carrying through both levels, while the main living areas offer flexible spaces divided by a fireplace, giving you room for a formal dining area, sitting room, home office, or whatever best fits your lifestyle. The kitchen opens to the main living area, keeping the layout connected and practical for everyday living, entertaining, and everything in between. Upstairs, all three bedrooms are tucked away from the main living spaces, along with a second-floor loft/den that adds even more flexibility for a reading nook, desk space, play area, or quiet retreat. The spacious primary suite includes a walk-in closet and private en-suite bath, and with 2,218 square feet, the home offers a layout that feels intentional, functional, and easy to live in. Out back, the covered patio and deck overlook a peaceful conservation area with mature trees and no rear neighbors, creating a setting that feels private and relaxing. Major systems have also been thoughtfully updated, including a 2024 AC condenser, 2022 air handler, 2025 water heater, and 2016 roof. Located one home away from the community pool and playground, in Flood Zone X, and with convenient access to shopping, dining, Tampa International Airport, and the Gulf beaches, this home offers presence, privacy, and a location that keeps you close to everything Tampa Bay has to offer.
