South Tampa, Sunset Park – Waterfront – Modern Farmhouse

Project Style: Modern Farmhouse
Size: 5 bedrooms; 5 full bathrooms + 1 half-bath; 6,200 sq. ft.

Home Story: As longtime residents of South Tampa, these homeowners saw many of Sunset’s projects evolve from foundation through to the stunning finished product – two in particular, on their very same street. Continually impressed, when the homeowner’s family construct shifted to need a new, multi-generational living arrangement, they turned to Sunset.
This 2-story home features a complete primary suite downstairs for the homeowners’ parent, as well as a full primary suite upstairs for their own use. An additional 3 bedrooms, with en suites, plus multiple study and gathering areas, will serve this growing family quite well. While you are enjoying the photos, see if you can spy the cat!

Challenges & Points of Interest: The beautiful oak trees on the property received special design attention as one side of the home was tiered to preserve the canopy, and the home’s whole footprint was adjusted to accommodate the rest.
Code for waterfront living dictates the first floor start at a 12′ level which presents unique design challenges for the elevations. Carefully considered structures and landscaping ease the transitions.

“After interviewing several other builders, we knew within the first 10 minutes of our meeting that Sunset would be our builder. We both felt Mark would be
the best to guide us through the process, and we continue to be impressed with the people with whom Sunset aligns themselves.”

Project Style: Urban Contemporary
Size: 5 bedrooms; 5.5 bathrooms; 6,331 sq. ft.

Home Story: This family’s previous residences, townhomes and single family, were always new construction within the confines of developer communities.
So with a multitude of building experience and a well-honed wish list, they were primed for their first custom home. Who knew the fates would conspire for a year and a half before serving up the perfect mix of location, price and virtues. Sunset was on-site for each contender, advising on the dream/reality balance.

Challenges & Points of Interest: ‘Contemporary with character, open floor plan, and must be great for entertaining’ were the initial criteria from the homeowners. The upside to the lengthy location hunt was a thoroughly-researched initial floor plan provided to the architect by the homeowners.
The resulting cantilevered elevation details, focal-point central staircase, and 3rd car garage’s entertainment/pool room reflect the flourishing collaboration. The double lot also allowed for side-loading garages – another wish list priority fulfilled!

South Tampa, Sunset Park – Waterfront – Tropical Modern

Project Style: Tropical Modern
Size: 5 bedrooms; 5 full bathrooms + 1 half-bath; 6,200 sq. ft.

UPDATE!: The homeowners are just starting to move into their new home. Of course it will take a bit to get settled in, but we wanted to show you the exciting exterior elevations. You can still see a few interior renderings at the end of the thumbnails, as well as the Matterport walk-through experience.

Home Story: These homeowners had their eye on Sunset Properties for several years, watching each new build closely. When Sunset started
construction on an urban contemporary residence just down the street from their home, they had a front-row seat to all the action. The couple knew
they’d found their design/build firm!

Challenges & Points of Interest: Waterfront living is all about the views. Combining the homeowners love of contemporary architecture with the superb light and sight lines is always a welcome challenge – no view shall escape.

See Inside: Every square inch of the interior construction is mapped for you with our Matterport link. When you are at the site, click on each circle on the floor to advance throughout the house. Climb the stairs, mouse to turn around or view the ceiling, 360° views are everywhere! You’ll see every bit of framing, plumbing, electrical,
HVAC and more.

Sunset Park – Video Transition, TEST

After nixing 70+ homes, this one checked
all the boxes…almost.

Project Style: Traditional Exterior;
Transitional Interior
Size: 4 Bedrooms; 3.5 Bathrooms; 3,500 sq. ft.

Home Story: Perfect location – Check. Excellent size – Check. Under max-budget – Check.
Move-in ready…Well, not so much!
With a maze of rooms, doors and walls encircling a central fireplace, plus low ceilings and multi-level floors, this 2-story 1950’s traditional was hardly the open-concept, transitional style this family of four cherished. And a renovation was NOT on their wish list. That was until Sunset Properties expressed their vision for this home. Out with the walls and fireplace; raise the ceiling; level the floors; and create an open, family-friendly living space for the entire first floor. “Having partners like Mark and Peter was important. They opened our minds to possibilities and at the same time kept us grounded about cost.”

Challenges & Points of Interest: After gutting the first floor living space, collar ties proved to be the ‘magic’ element in raising the entire 1950’s
ceiling a full two feet. The quirky 1990’s renovation resulted in five doorways in the adjacent playroom, resulting in no walls for furniture. The solution – close up some doorways and reroute traffic. What appears to be pantry doors between the oven and refrigerator, are in reality the double doors to the hidden, full-sized laundry room and storage!
