This is easily one of the most captivating and unique homes you’ll find in Tampa—full of character, warmth, and thoughtful detail at every turn. Set on an elevated double lot in the heart of Seminole Heights, this 1920s Craftsman bungalow sits along a charming, tree-lined street with wide sidewalks and a welcoming neighborhood feel. Located in historic Evelyn City, the setting is as special as the home itself, with FOUR tucked-away riverfront parks just a short stroll or bike ride from your front door. From the moment you step onto the classic front porch and enter inside, the home’s authenticity shines through.

The kitchen is both beautiful and practical, featuring warm wood cabinetry with beadboard accents, stone countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a standout gas range with double dishwashers—perfectly blending style with everyday usability. The layout offers two light-filled secondary bedrooms, a charming vintage-style guest bath, and a private primary suite complete with a cozy sitting area, access to a screened porch and garden, and a spa-like bath with dual vanities and a steam shower. Step outside and the property truly transforms into a private retreat. The backyard is lush and immersive, surrounded by mature bamboo and tropical landscaping that creates a peaceful, secluded atmosphere. The pool has been completely redone and now serves as a stunning focal point, featuring a freeform design with a heated spillover spa, natural stone decking, and a serene, resort-like feel. A dining gazebo and multiple lounging areas make it perfect for entertaining, while a dedicated astroturf dog run adds everyday convenience. Additional features include a garage/workshop, a convenient pool bath, ample off-street parking, and a whole-house generator for peace of mind, along with the added benefit of a newer roof. Rounding out the property is a detached two-bedroom, one-bath apartment with its own washer and dryer—ideal for guests, rental income, or a private workspace. This home is a rare blend of historic charm, modern comfort, and exceptional outdoor living—truly a standout property in one of Tampa’s most beloved neighborhoods, just minutes from top dining, shopping, parks, and everything the city has available!
