6118 S ELKINS AVENUE TAMPA FL 33611 MLS #TB8498626

This meticulously renovated, contemporary residence is situated in the highly desirable Ballast Point neighborhood of South Tampa, zoned for the A-rated Ballast Point Elementary School district. The home offers three traditional bedrooms plus a generously sized bonus room adjacent to the Suite Primary — ideally suited for a private home office or personal fitness room — along with a fully enclosed, air-conditioned detached accessory structure in the rear yard that can serve as a studio, workshop, hobby room, or den.
The property has undergone an extensive renovation featuring a new roof, fresh interior and exterior paint, a fully updated kitchen, new wood-look porcelain tile floors throughout, professionally installed astroturf, updated landscaping, and upgraded lighting fixtures. Additional smart home improvements include a high-efficiency 22 SEER HVAC system with UV light filtration, new paver hardscaping, a Ring Video Doorbell, smart-technology front door lock, and an ADT Security System.
The renovated chef’s kitchen is appointed with Frost White Quartz countertops, custom shaker cabinetry, zellige inspired porcelain subway tile backsplash, and dome pendant lighting. New wood-look porcelain tile floors flow seamlessly throughout the home, while the dining room and secondary bedrooms feature distinctive beadboard ceilings crafted from solid Douglas Fir.
Both bathrooms have been beautifully updated with designer shiplap accent walls, adding warmth and a modern coastal character. The expansive Primary Suite features a custom-designed walk-in closet and a spa-inspired en suite bathroom with brushed gold fixtures, dual marble vanity sinks, and a walk-in shower adorned with Carrara Clipped Diamond polished marble mosaic flooring and white subway tile. The secondary bathroom features Framed Thassos marble mosaic flooring and a tub/shower combination with white subway tile, and all closets throughout the home have been thoughtfully outfitted for maximum functionality.
The fully fenced exterior has been refreshed with new astroturf, putting green, updated landscaping, and new paver hardscaping — creating an ideal setting for outdoor entertaining. The property is conveniently located near Ballast Point Park, which features a 600-foot pier, shaded splash park, playground, picnic areas, pavilions, gazebo, boat dock, boat ramp, restaurant, and a fitness and wellness center.
The main residence encompasses 1,827 SF with an additional 150 SF detached air-conditioned accessory structure for a total of 1,977 SF — a rare, move-in ready opportunity in one of South Tampa’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
Peace of mind comes with this property. Despite being located in a designated flood zone, this home — and the entire street — experienced zero flooding during the significant 2024 hurricane season, including both Hurricanes Helene and Milton. While neighboring areas of Tampa Bay saw widespread impact, this street remained completely dry. Buyers can feel confident knowing this home has a proven track record through one of the most active and closely watched storm seasons in recent Florida history.
