238 Tampa Ave W

A low-rise historic condominium converted from the 1927 San Marco / Kentucky Military Institute landmark on Venice Island. The three-story masonry building contains ground-floor retail and two upper levels of one- and two-bedroom residential units accessed by a lobby elevator and common corridors. Architectural character is period Mediterranean/early 20th-century commercial with original massing and some decorative details retained; many residences have been updated with modern kitchens, stone counters and wood-look flooring while preserving vintage elements. Interiors commonly feature high ceilings, open living/dining plans, split-bedroom layouts, ceiling fans, walk-in closets and solid wood cabinetry. Shared facilities include a landscaped heated pool and garden setting, a clubhouse with full kitchen and recreational space, onsite laundry, secure nighttime lobby, bicycle/storage rooms and reserved community storage. Exterior amenities include irrigation, exterior lighting, outdoor grilling, private mailboxes, storage and nearby surface parking lots; most units are within short walking distance of Centennial Park, Venice Theater and the shops and restaurants along Venice Avenue. The property is professionally managed, enforces a no-pet or restricted-pets policy on many units, and suits seasonal owners, retirees, or buyers seeking a compact downtown pied-à-terre close to beaches and cultural venues.
