Live where Tampa’s history was written — and where its future is unfolding. This fully renovated 1925 Ybor City bungalow offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Tampa’s past — thoughtfully reimagined for today’s lifestyle. Whether you're searching for a turnkey primary residence, a high-performing short-term rental, or a long-term investment, this property delivers on every level. Ideally situated just minutes from Historic 7th Avenue, Sparkman Wharf, Water Street, Armature Works, and the transformative Gas Worx development, the location places you at the center of Tampa’s continued growth and cultural energy. Completed in 2024, the renovation was comprehensive and executed with care — no shortcuts, no flipper-grade finishes, and all work completed with permits. Major improvements include HVAC, electrical, plumbing, foundation, drywall, kitchen, and baths, offering peace of mind while preserving the home’s original character. Steeped in history, this classic shotgun-style bungalow was originally built by a cigar factory worker and has had just three owners in a century — a true testament to its enduring charm. Inside, an open and airy floorplan welcomes you with natural flow from the living room to a dining space that comfortably seats six. The kitchen features shaker-style cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and clean, timeless finishes—perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. The secondary bedrooms provide generous storage, including transom and closet space, while both bathrooms showcase period-inspired tilework paired with modern matte fixtures. The primary suite comfortably accommodates a king-size bed and includes a custom-built closet system for optimal organization. Toward the rear, a spacious mudroom/laundry area adds function and personality, highlighted by a custom mural from a local artist—a subtle nod to Ybor’s creative spirit. Step outside to your fully fenced backyard retreat, complete with paved parking and fruit-bearing mango and sour orange trees, bringing a touch of Florida living to your everyday routine. With its historic character, fully updated systems, and prime location near Tampa’s major growth corridors, this property offers the rare combination of charm, stability, and upside potential. Owner is a licensed Florida real estate agent.
