This home is quite possibly THE MOST charming bungalow I have encountered in a long while! And that says a lot coming from a seasoned real estate professional. When I first drove up to this 1920s Seminole Heights bungalow, I knew I was in for something truly special. This Craftsman Bungalow evoked in me the feeling of “being home”. A far cry from the cookie-cutter renovations we all see regularly, this house has a sense of history that invites you to become part of it. Hampton Terrace, a neighborhood that was entered into the National Register of Historic Places in 1999 and has long since been a gem of Tampa neighborhoods, is a neighborhood that is best known for its strong sense of community, winner of Tampa's Neighborhood Watch Awards, Lake Roberta, and mature oak tree-lined streets. It is a picturesque setting for an equally picturesque home. As I stepped onto the GORGEOUS front porch, I wanted to stop and sit for a spell but couldn't stop myself from wanting to see the inside. I was drawn in by a genuineness to this home. Nothing overdone. Only a sincere desire of its owners to make it a welcoming and comfortable place yet faithful to honoring the best of the past. The beautiful vintage features (brick gas-burning fireplace, oak hardwood floors, vintage wood-paneled doors, brass and glass doorknobs, wood casings and trim, vintage windows, picture/art rails), as well as the thoughtfully chosen updates, will keep this home relevant into the 21st century. The heart of the home, the sun-filled kitchen, has been outfitted “to a T” in classic white and black with grey accents, subway tiles, and beadboard ceiling. Further refining the look and practicality of this home chef's dream space, are wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances (including a wine chiller!), and granite countertops. To complete the interior… a TRUE vintage-style breakfast nook… 2 light and airy bedrooms, both equal in size so you can choose which one you'd prefer to be the primary bedroom… two vintage-styled bathrooms… a roomy and graceful dining room… laundry center that is built-in as part of a large flex space… Currently a home office that overlooks the rear deck/garden areas through a “wall” of windows… a quaint sitting area off of one of the bedrooms and dining room that offers flexibility for entertaining or a quiet space in the center of the home. But I don't want to skip over the backyard! A serene and spacious rear deck. A large, fenced rear lawn/garden space. A BONUS structure, currently used as an artist studio. A storage shed… AND peaceful Lake Roberta, just a short 2 to 3-minute stroll from the front door. Then when I thought it couldn't get any better, it dawned on me that this home isn't just beautiful and welcoming, it is practical as well. Plumbing updates… Natural gas-powered tankless water heater, PVC water lines. Electrical updates… new electrical panel 2022, 30 amp for RV parking, 50 amp for artist studio/additional structure in the rear garden. Air conditioning system… NEW 2024! ALL OF THIS AND… within minutes of the Tampa Bay Area's best diners, museums, nationally acclaimed restaurants, vintage and luxury shopping, local breweries and pubs, outdoor activities, parks, beaches, dog-friendly parks and businesses, nightlife, sports arenas, +++. A rarity like this home only comes along once in a "blue moon" so do not miss out on this one.
