Property Description

High and DRY iconic, 1538 sq ft, 1926 Bungalow! While this home sits just over a block off a beautiful section of the Hillsborough River, it is pitched 25 feet above sea level (so it does not require flood insurance and has never suffered hurricane or storm damage). The main house is a thoughtfully laid out 1368 sq ft 3 bedroom, 2 bath. An additional 200 sq ft fully self contained pool/guest house is next to the in ground pool. Upon entering the home from its large front porch, you’ll be drawn into the open living/dining room with tall, 9ft ceilings and a fully functional ventless gas fireplace. The oversized, eat in kitchen is adorned with stunning floor to ceiling custom cabinetry, durable white quartz countertops and a full stainless appliance package including a gas range for the chef! All three bathrooms were meticulously updated and all three bedrooms are generously sized. The master is secluded for privacy and includes an en-suite as well as French doors to a large, fully screened in back porch. There is also a large, tiled laundry room just off the kitchen, with its own entrance to the back porch. Outside, you will find a backyard oasis containing a sparkling kidney shaped pool, 8x12 storage shed, a custom “tiny” pool house, 2 fruiting trees (grapefruit and lemon) and a sizable garden. The pool house contains its own bathroom, kitchenette and sleeping area and is currently used as a cash flowing short term rental, but would also make a perfect work from home office! This entire property was re-plumbed in 2020. In 2022, the gas lines were extended from the hot water heater to install a gas range, ventless fireplace insert and a line to the bbq (which could also run a whole house generator in the future)! A brand new HVAC system and hot water heater and pool pump were installed in 2024. Most of the outlets, switches and light fixtures have been updated, including some classic and fun push button switches. One very unique feature of this house is the functioning whole house fan for exhaust and ventilation. This home is located in a very desirable section of South Seminole heights in walking distance to several coffee shops, restaurants and breweries as well as long walking/biking paths along the river. Downtown Tampa and The Tampa Riverwalk are just 2 miles away (5 min by car or 12 min by bicycle). The Tampa airport is just a 12 minute drive. The grade school, middle school and high school are all walking distance. Showings by appointment only and must have pre approval.
