Property Description
Nestled in the heart of South Seminole Heights, this beautifully preserved 1925 bungalow offers a rare blend of historic charm and thoughtful updates. This award-winning 3-bedroom, 1-bath residence was recognized with the South Seminole Heights Beautification Award in 2022, a testament to its exceptional curb appeal and pride of ownership.
From the moment you arrive, you'll appreciate the custom front staircase, historically accurate restored wood siding (2020), and a freshly painted exterior (2021). One of the only homes in all of Seminole Heights with a double-wide paver driveway, it comfortably accommodates six vehicles in the front and three more in the back—an unmatched feature in the neighborhood.
Inside, the home continues to impress with original 1925 hardwood floors, built-in bookshelves, and a functioning wood-burning fireplace with a closable cap (cleaned in 2023). Original crystal doorknobs add to the historic charm, while modern updates enhance comfort and livability. In 2024, the popcorn ceilings were removed and the entire interior was freshly painted, creating a bright, clean interior throughout.
The kitchen has been updated with premium vinyl flooring (2024) and a brand-new suite of stainless appliances (2025). Additional recent improvements include a 25-year roof installed in 2017, new washer and dryer (2023), and a completely new 3-ton AC system with all-new ducting (2024). The air handler is discreetly located in the attic, maximizing closet space.
Located on a quiet street in one of Tampa's most beloved historic neighborhoods, this home is walkable to parks, coffee shops, and local favorites. With quick access to downtown, the Riverwalk, and all the best that Seminole Heights has to offer, this is your opportunity to own a truly special piece of Tampa history.
