Description

Rooted in the historic fabric of Suwannee Estates within Old Seminole Heights - one of Tampa's most cherished early bungalow neighborhoods- this 107-year-old home offers a rare opportunity to own a true piece of living history. Meticulously restored from top to bottom, it blends timeless character with the comfort and ease of modern living—honoring its past while opening the door to a beautiful new chapter. Inside, you'll find four bedrooms, a charming loft, two full baths, and a half bath—offering generous space to gather, grow, and create lasting memories. Original details shine throughout, complemented by fully updated systems, a cozy working fireplace, new insulation, and a second HVAC system upstairs—rare enhancements that make this historic home feel effortlessly livable. Set on an exceptionally rare double lot, the property invites you to relax, entertain, and dream bigger. A detached additional dwelling unit adds incredible flexibility, ideal for guests, rental income, or a private creative retreat. Even the garage has been completely revitalized—featuring updated electrical access and a brand-new, fully functioning door—making the space as practical as it is polished. This isn't just a renovation—it's a revival. A truly special home where history, warmth, and possibility come together, ready for its next owner to fall in love. As an added bonus, our preferred lender, Ryan Hoffman with Embrace Home Loans, is offering a free appraisal and the option for a 12-month, 1% lender-paid buydown, making this extraordinary home even more attainable.
