About this home
Welcome to this beautifully renovated 3-bedroom, 2-bath bungalow located in the heart of historic Tampa Heights. Thoughtfully updated from top to bottom, this move-in-ready home blends classic character with modern finishes throughout. Inside, you’ll find new flooring, fresh interior paint, updated lighting, and a completely redesigned kitchen and bathrooms. The open-concept living and kitchen area is ideal for entertaining and features a charming fireplace, a spacious island, stainless steel appliances, a range hood, washer/dryer, and stylish finishes that flow seamlessly into the main living space. Both bathrooms have been fully renovated with glass shower/tub combinations, new vanities, updated lighting, and tile flooring. The home sits on an ample lot with a nicely sized front yard and a fenced backyard, offering plenty of space for outdoor enjoyment. Curb appeal shines with the home’s picturesque bungalow design, welcoming front porch, and open carport. While the bedrooms feature smaller closets consistent with classic bungalow architecture, the home offers exceptional living and entertaining spaces throughout. Located just minutes from Downtown Tampa, the Riverwalk, and a wide array of shopping and dining options, this home is perfectly suited for an active lifestyle while enjoying the charm of one of Tampa’s most sought-after historic neighborhoods. The roof was replaced in 2018. The HVAC system and tankless water heater were replaced in 2020.
Local Insight
At $362/sqft for a 1925 home in Tampa, you're getting solid value for the neighborhood, but that 1,104 sqft on a tight 0.18-acre lot means limited expansion potential and you'll want a detailed inspection on the bones—century-old homes can hide big expenses behind original charm. The lack of HOA is a genuine plus, and being in flood zone X removes that insurance wildcard, so the carrying costs are more predictable than comparable older homes in flood-prone Tampa areas.
