About this home
Under contract-accepting backup offers. Located in the desirable Wellswood neighborhood of Tampa, this oversized quarter-acre property presents an exceptional opportunity for investors, builders, or buyers looking to create their dream home in a prime central location. Whether you choose to renovate the existing 4-bedroom, 2-bath home, start fresh with new construction, or hold as an investment property, the possibilities are endless. The spacious lot offers privacy with a large cement wall along the rear of the property, while the remainder of the backyard is fully fenced with chain link fencing and includes a metal storage shed. Although the property backs to an office building along MLK Blvd, the setting provides surprising privacy and minimal traffic noise. Wellswood is one of Tampa’s hidden gems, known for its tree-lined streets, established homes, and strong sense of community. Residents enjoy convenient access to the Hillsborough River, Wellswood Park, Downtown Tampa, Tampa Riverwalk, Tampa Catholic High School, St. Joseph’s Hospital, restaurants, shopping, and entertainment. Major roadways nearby make commuting throughout the Tampa Bay area quick and convenient. NO HOA. NO CDD. A rare opportunity to own an oversized lot in one of Tampa’s most sought-after established neighborhoods.
