One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Thought a move-in ready, charming bungalow in The Heights—with thoughtful cosmetic updates and most major systems already taken care of—didn’t exist under $400K? Think again. This light-filled 1950s home blends timeless character with the modern updates today’s buyers prioritize, all set on a deep, fully fenced corner lot in one of Seminole Heights’ most walkable and connected neighborhoods. Inside, the updated kitchen features shaker-style cabinetry, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances, opening into a cozy living room that invites connection and comfort. The bathrooms have been tastefully refreshed while still reflecting the home’s original charm, and 2 additional bedrooms offer space for guests and a home office. The primary suite includes a walk-in closet and private access to the backyard—ideal for morning coffee or evening wind-downs. A second rear door off the kitchen hallway offers added convenience and easy outdoor flow. Interior laundry is tucked in the hall for everyday ease, and the washer and dryer will convey with the sale. The oversized backyard is a true standout—complete with mature trees, raised garden beds, a fire pit lounge area, and a detached storage shed. Whether you envision building a garage, adding a pool or ADU, or simply creating a lush retreat, there’s plenty of room to grow without sacrificing green space. Recent improvements include a new roof (2022), full plumbing replacement (2022), updated HVAC ductwork and coil cleaning (2023) and blower motor replaced (2025), termite fumigation (2023), a custom closet system in the primary suite, a new fence installation (2025) and more! A circular driveway provides rare off-street parking, and the location couldn’t be more convenient—just blocks from local favorites like Corner Club, Gangchu, Rolling Mullet, and Three Coins Diner, plus neighborhood parks like Patterson Street Park and McDugald Park. Quick access to I-275 puts Downtown Tampa, Armature Works, and the Riverwalk and even Tampa International Airport just minutes away. Seminole Heights is known for its historic charm, tree-lined streets, vibrant local dining, and riverfront parks. With a strong sense of community, dog-friendly establishments, and a rental-friendly area, it continues to attract buyers looking for lifestyle, flexibility, and long-term value.
