1001 Bayshore (Revisited)<\/strong><\/p>\n This story was originally published in the April\/May 2014 edition of South Tampa Magazine. Joe Maddon is now the manager of the World Series-winning Chicago Cubs.<\/em><\/p>\n South Tampa Magazine<\/em> first featured this 1917 home, formerly owned by George and Beth Howard, in our 2010 Bayshore edition. Since that time, Tampa Bay Rays manager Joe Maddon and his wife, Jaye, have moved in. Originally built for the Vega family, the four-bedroom Dutch colonial home was also owned by former Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Rich McKay. Maddon moved to Bayshore in 2006 when he joined the then-Tampa Bay Devil Rays.<\/p>\n \u201cI instantly fell in love with Bayshore,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n The home at 1001 Bayshore Boulevard wasn\u2019t his first pick when it came time to purchase a house with Jaye in 2012. But as soon as he stepped inside and saw that Coach McKay once owned the property, he was sold.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve lived in a lot of places \u2014 Pennsylvania, California, Colorado; Bayshore truly is a desirable place to live,\u201d Joe said.<\/p>\n His favorite room is the upstairs office overlooking the bay.<\/p>\n \u201cI like to think that Coach McKay, one of the greatest, most iconic coaches of all time, would sit up there and smoke a cigar and look out at Bayshore,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n The Maddons said they haven\u2019t had time to start any major remodeling projects, but the couple did enlist Mike Loomis of South Tampa\u2019s Landscape Fusion<\/a> to reimagine their backyard. Jaye said they wanted a new outdoor living space outfitted with a tiki hut, but Mike gave them that and much more. To meet the Architectural Review Commission\u2019s standards, a cypress and cedar pavilion was built in lieu of the tiki hut. Mike also built in a refrigerator and flat screen television behind the bar. Landscape Fusion then updated the pottery and travertine and installed a blue glass fire pit. Jaye said the project was officially unveiled at Joe\u2019s 60th<\/sup> birthday party during Gasparilla.<\/p>\n \u201cLike many moments in life, finding Mike was rather serendipitous,\u201d Joe said. \u201cWe knew we were in the market for a tiki hut, so we visited his store on Gandy [Boulevard] and liked his ideas. We love the work he\u2019s done. Mike really followed through, and we\u2019ve been lucky and pleased to work with him.\u201d<\/p>\n
