Property Description

For the buyer who values character over commonplace, this authentic 1925 South Tampa bungalow offers a rare opportunity to own a home where nearly a century of architectural personality has been thoughtfully preserved.Original oak hardwood floors, high ceilings, original windows, crystal doorknobs with brass hardware, built-in bookshelves and a wood-burning fireplace with gas logs reflect the craftsmanship of another era. The vintage character continues into the eat-in kitchen with original wood cabinetry and hutch, gas cooking and an enamel-top table, while the Florida room is filled with charm and natural light.Outside, a rustic arbor, picket fence and lush landscaping create an inviting first impression. The fully fenced backyard feels like a private garden retreat, with a covered rear porch, brick steps, pergola-covered deck, Edison lighting and firepit seating area.Tucked behind the main home is a beautifully designed detached accessory structure with approximately 200 heated square feet plus a loft. Thoughtfully created to complement the bungalow, this unique flex space features real wood floors, a full bath, loft area with additional workspace, stackable washer/dryer and retro-style refrigerator-an exceptional setting for a home office, studio, creative space or other use permitted by the City of Tampa.Important improvements include a 2023 HVAC system, gas tankless water heater serving both structures, updated subflooring, piers and foundation timbers, recently repainted exteriors with high-quality UV-resistant paint, and newer awnings.Located in a non-flood hazard zone in South Tampa, with convenient access to MacDill AFB, Bayshore Boulevard, Downtown Tampa, Hyde Park Village, Davis Islands, Ybor City, parks, caf?s and shopping, plus easy access to St. Petersburg via the Gandy Bridge.Not a cookie-cutter renovation. Not a reproduction. This is the real thing; a 1925 bungalow filled with warmth, history and individuality, ready for its next steward to act as the current author of a continuous story that started over a century ago.
