Property Overview
** Multiple Offers Received – Highest & Best Due 2/2 at 5 PM** Set on a rare oversized (75x122) lot-and-a-half, this custom-renovated 1925 Craftsman Bungalow blends historic charm with modern updates and an entertainer’s dream backyard—plus space to add a pool or ADU.
A porte-cochère with a trellis, lush landscaping, and a paver driveway enhance the home’s timeless curb appeal. Mature oaks line the brick-paved street, creating a picture-perfect setting in one of Tampa’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
Inside, natural light pours through restored sash windows, highlighting rich wood flooring and a cozy fireplace. The living and dining areas lead seamlessly into a stunning custom kitchen with walnut cabinetry, concrete countertops, a gas cooktop, and stainless steel appliances. A bay window brightens the space, while thoughtful touches—built-in spice storage, floating shelves, and ample cabinetry—blend style and function.
The layout offers versatility. A front bedroom with custom barn doors off the living room is ideal as a guest bedroom, office or family room. The rear primary suite is a private retreat with vaulted ceilings, a transom window, and a spa-like ensuite featuring subway tile, modern fixtures, and a walk-in shower. The second bath is equally striking, offering a cast iron and porcelain soaker tub, penny tile details, a skylit shower, and a custom floating wood vanity with an epoxy wood ribbon accent shelf.
Designed for effortless entertaining, the backyard is a showstopper. An 800-square-foot paver patio centers the outdoor oasis, featuring a custom-built bar with a gas line, fridge, and a designated space for a kegerator. Gather around the natural gas fire pit on cool evenings or enjoy grilling while watching the game. Tropical landscaping, a rain chain gutter system, and automated lighting create a serene, low-maintenance retreat. The fully fenced yard offers privacy and space for a pool or guesthouse, plus a large storage shed for added functionality.
Modern upgrades ensure comfort and reliability: a 2020 HVAC, 2019 tankless gas water heater, updated electrical and plumbing (including a 2019 water line), and a durable 2012 metal roof. Functional original double-hung windows with new screens invite fresh air in during cooler months, while custom hurricane fabric provides storm protection. Elevated and storm-ready, this home remained unscathed during the 2024 hurricane season.
Enjoy walkable access to beloved neighborhood spots like Trip’s Diner, Ology Brewery, Rooster & the Till, and The Front Porch. Take in river views at Epps Park or visit Henry & Ola Dog Park. With quick access to downtown Tampa, the airport, and South Tampa, this home delivers the perfect blend of character, convenience, and investment potential.
Buyers using the sellers preferred lender are eligible for a 1% incentive towards closing costs or interest rate buy down, making this rare find even more enticing. A true Seminole Heights treasure, this Craftsman Bungalow offers a lifestyle as inviting as its design.
