About this property

Welcome to one of Old Seminole Heights’ most charming pockets, located within a nationally recognized Historic District renowned for its collection of early 20th-century Craftsman bungalows, with this home standing as a shining example of the neighborhood’s timeless architectural character. This beautifully preserved and thoughtfully updated 1918 bungalow offers 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, PLUS a detached 350 sq ft studio, seamlessly blending historic character with modern comfort. Inside, refinished original oak floors, a wood-burning fireplace, restored original windows, glass doorknobs, and classic Craftsman trim throughout fill the home with warmth, charm, and natural light. The beautifully updated kitchen features quartzite countertops and stainless steel GE Cafe appliances, while both bathrooms have been tastefully renovated, with all major updates completed in 2020. The primary suite showcases volume ceilings, dual closets with custom curtains, and a stunning clawfoot tub that pays homage to the home’s historic soul. A bright, airy palette throughout creates an inviting, move-in-ready feel from the moment you arrive. Major system upgrades and thoughtful improvements provide peace of mind, including a 2012 metal roof, tankless gas water heater (2020), updated interior plumbing, whole-house water softening system and reverse osmosis, full front and back irrigation, and a transferable drywood termite warranty. The HVAC system features a 2020 exterior condenser and a 2012 interior air handler. Restored original windows and classic round dolly siding preserve the authentic character that makes Seminole Heights so sought after. Step outside to a fully fenced backyard retreat filled with Florida-friendly landscaping and an impressive collection of mature fruit trees and plants, including mango, avocado, banana, peach, plum, cherry, kumquat, and starfruit trees, along with a producing grape vine. A charming screened gazebo creates the perfect setting for morning coffee or evening unwinding. The renovated detached 350 sq ft studio features concrete floors, updated windows, its own wall-unit HVAC, and includes the washer and dryer along with a tankless electric water heater, making it ideal as a home office, creative studio, fitness space, or guest retreat. A fully functioning pottery kiln located in the studio may also convey with the sale for buyers interested in ceramics or creative pursuits. And then there’s the location. Old Seminole Heights places you in the heart of one of Tampa’s most vibrant and walkable neighborhoods. Stroll to beloved craft breweries, neighborhood restaurants, and local coffee shops, or bike to the Riverwalk and Downtown Tampa in minutes. With quick access to I-275, commuting throughout the city is effortless. This is one of those rare neighborhoods where you can truly leave the car at home and enjoy the Tampa lifestyle to the fullest. Additional highlights include no HOA, no CDD, no flood insurance required as the home is located in Flood Zone X, no flooding or storm damage during the 2024 hurricanes, a brick-paved off-street parking area accommodating two vehicles, all appliances updated in 2020.
