Welcome to 5010 W Dickens Avenue, a rare Sunset Park gem where timeless architecture
meets exceptional design and scale.
Nestled high and dry in one of South Tampa's most beloved enclaves the "Poet Streets,"
this custom residence was thoughtfully designed by architect Jim Ludwig and masterfully
built by Steve Fisher of Classic Builders. With over 8,000 square feet under roof and
situated on a 220-foot-deep lot, this home is made for those who crave space, privacy, and
seamless indoor-outdoor living. This thoughtfully designed retreat has the character and
charm you simply won't find in cookie-cutter build.
The moment you arrive, the expansive front porch with travertine pavers and a classic
porch swing creates a welcoming sense of place. Inside, grand ceilings with wood beam
accents, a tabby shell fireplace, and rich architectural finishes set the tone for casual
sophistication.
The heart of the home is the chef's kitchen, thoughtfully designed with two islands, dual
dishwashers, a Thermador gas range and double oven, a trash compactor, and generous
prep and gathering space. It opens directly into the family room and formal dining room-
perfect for hosting everything from intimate dinners to holiday gatherings.
Step outside and experience what truly sets this home apart: a deep backyard oasis that
feels like a private resort. The oversized covered lanai, complete with a tongue-and-groove
ceiling and travertine decking, overlooks a stunning pool, lush lawn, and grill station... an
entertainer's dream.
The main level also features the primary suite with a large walk-in closet and private office
(or flex room for a gym, nursery, or dream closet). Upstairs, you'll find four additional
bedrooms, two full baths, and an open loft that leads to a spacious covered balcony,
offering a quiet escape or extra space for outdoor entertaining.
Car enthusiasts or those in need of extra storage will appreciate the 5-car garage with
bonus space ideal for a home gym, workshop, or recreational area. The durable tabby and
Hardie Board exterior ensures low maintenance for years to come.
Located in the coveted Mabry/Coleman/Plant school district, this home is minutes to
everything: Westshore Marina District, Tampa International Airport, and local beaches.
This is Sunset Park living at its best-where timeless architecture and custom
craftsmanship come together in a home that truly stands apart.
