About this home
Don't miss this charming updated 1920s Bungalow in the heart of Southeast Seminole Heights, set on a beautiful tree-lined street in one of Tampa's most established historic neighborhoods. The main house is a 3/2 with an open floor plan where the living room, dining room, and kitchen all flow together seamlessly. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, solid wood cabinets, and granite countertops. Out back, a spacious detached 1/1 apartment offers the perfect setup for working from home or generating additional income. Mature landscaping frames the spacious front porch, while the backyard is made for entertaining with paver hardscape, a built-in mosquito fogging system for comfortable evenings outdoors, and a storage shed for tools and bikes. You're just minutes from Downtown Tampa with quick access to the interstate, close to favorite local spots like Duff's Famous Wings and Independent Bar & Cafe, and within walking distance of Ragan Park and Giddens Park. Grocery stores and shopping are close by as well. Whether you're a first-time buyer, a growing household in need of more space, or an investor, this Southeast Seminole Heights gem checks all the boxes. Come see it before it's gone!
Local Insight
This 1922 home is priced below the neighborhood median and the in-law suite adds genuine rental upside if you need extra income, though you'll want a thorough inspection given the age—plumbing and electrical systems in century-old homes can hide expensive surprises. The tight 0.13-acre lot and location in an older urban neighborhood means you're trading square footage and land for walkability and established infrastructure, so make sure the cramped lot doesn't bother you before committing. At $302/sqft for a Ybor-adjacent area property with no flood concerns, the value is there, but factor in what deferred maintenance might actually cost on a 100+ year old structure.
