This 1925 bungalow + GUEST HOUSE sits in the heart of Seminole Heights and it truly has it all! It's extremely rare to find a restored craftman home that has been this meticulously cared for over the years and it will show from the minute you pull up to the home! The main house is a 1,640 sqft, 2 story, 3 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom home. The guest house is a spacious 552 sqft 1/1 that sits on top of the 2 car garage. If you're looking for a home with a story and history behind it, look no further. This home was originally built by a ship deck builder who worked at the Tampa Port. He built it for his daughter and son in-law as a wedding gift (see original pics in gallery). No expense was spared when preserving the originality of this home and the attention to detail in the fixtures and hardware throughout the house is incredible. There truly are too many unique and jaw-dropping features of this home to list here. Refinished hardwood floors, period Hunter ceiling fans, push button light switches, an original working gas fireplace, clawfoot tubs with brass shower conversions, period Crane sinks and toilets, original solid pine doors and knobs, and even the AC ducts are period cast iron registers! The Chambers stove (with griddle, broiler and deep well) has been beautifully restored and matches perfectly with the retro style Northstar fridge and Big Chill dishwasher. All the cabinetry was constructed using the original guest house cabinetry as a template to reuse as much of the original material as possible. The countertops are stained solid butcher block and the oversized original farmhouse sink has recently been refinished. There are even antique soda fountain style built-in barstools! The east facing windows have been fitted with real stained glass and brass filler. All of the double hung windows have been rebuilt and operate (a rarity for 1920s bungalows). Both buildings have been completely updated with new wiring, breaker panels and modern plumbing. Never run out of hot water with your newer gas tankless hot water heaters (both buildings). The house has 2 separate AC units, one for upstairs and one for downstairs. The guest house also features central heat and air. Metal roof (2010). Even the mailbox will make you say wow! Massive deck with a built-in hammock is ideal for entertaining and enjoying the fully landscaped yard. If you love beautiful landscaping, but not the maintenance that comes with it, this is the house for you. The yard was well thought out with drought resistant foliage and an automatic irrigation system. At night the house is even more amazing than during the day! The home lights up with lighting throughout the property's landscaping. Tons of space for parking, and the parking area and driveway was done entirely with reclaimed brick that match the age of the house perfectly. Truly no detail has been overlooked on this home. It's just seconds to all the Seminole Heights hot spots. It is also extremely close to Downtown, Ybor City, Armature Works, all major highways and everything else that Tampa Bay has to offer! The house can even be sold almost completely furnished so ask agent for more details if interested!
