Just steps from the most iconic streets in town is a 1920s historic bungalow, restored and renovated to preserve the character of the neighborhood while also providing the living space and features of a modern home. Located in the heart of South Tampa, this charming two-story home has a lot of curb appeal- tree canopy, mature landscaping with climbing bougainvillea, and a large covered front porch. A sweeping copper gutter and metal roof provide a nice contrast to the craftsman eaves, wood siding and windows with plantation shutters.
This 5-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom home features original restored oak flooring throughout. The family room has a wood-burning fireplace and is adjacent to a large bonus room that can serve as a play area, dining room or sitting room -- the possibilities are endless.
The current owners renovated the gourmet kitchen, opening to the family room via butcher block island. Adjacent to the kitchen is a walk-in pantry – providing ample storage for your culinary needs.
The dining area features a custom glass built-in cabinet, with antique hardware and windows restored from the Biltmore Hotel in Clearwater. From the dining area and master bedroom, you can access a large screened in patio, which accentuates the home’s charm with a bead board ceiling and exterior French doors.
From the patio, enter the backyard oasis, an entertainer’s dream complete with a three-hole putting green, gas firepit, outdoor kitchen with 36” FireMagic natural gas grill and outdoor beverage fridge. Outdoor globe string lights, craftsman shed, landscaping, river rocks and hanging plants with irrigation have made the neighbors call this the “zen garden” backyard!
The master bedroom includes two closets, recessed ceiling, and bathroom with clawfoot tub. Downstairs bedrooms and bathrooms feature wainscotting, crown molding and original floors. Upstairs, you have a loft that has been outfitted to a home gym with wall mirrors, a balance bar and sound-proof exercise flooring, as well as two bedrooms with large closets and a full bath with double vanity.
Take a shaded walk down surrounding streets with Oak tree canopies to visit the coffee shops, restaurants, parks and amenities of South Howard and Hyde Park. You can also easily reach Bayshore for a bike ride along the water to downtown Tampa.
Simply put, if you’re looking for the charm and history of a traditional South Tampa bungalow, but with the amenities and living space of a new build, you’ve found your new home. Please see attached information sheet for additional details.
