This 3 bedroom/2 bath Historic Tampa Heights bungalow mixes old world charm with modern updates. From the moment you walk in, you'll fall in love with the ORIGINAL WINDOWS, baseboards, and trim work, and be wowed by the UPGRADED KITCHEN with stainless steel appliances, granite counter tops, and custom cabinetry with chic, hand-painted hardware. The bathrooms (both with bathtubs) are updated with granite vanities, Anthropologie knobs (in master) and ceramic tile floors, while the rest of the home features wide plank laminate flooring throughout. Other upgrades include: a NEWER AC (3 yrs- just serviced), water heater (4 yrs- has been insulated and elevated from the ground) and blinds, an ADT security system, a METAL ROOF with a long life remaining, fresh paint, and a recent service for the refrigerator. Outside, the BRAND NEW DECK with lattice trim boasts hurricane-grade straps (deck can even hold a hot tub!) and is perfect for grilling. From the deck, stone pavers lead you to a SECRET GARDEN AREA/FIRE PIT AREA with custom-built, pressure-treated solid wood benches, perfect for cozying up by a fire on a cool evening. The large backyard features ALL NEW LANDSCAPING, a storage shed, and alley access. Just steps from the Tampa Heights Community Garden and Lee's Grocery, half a mile from Armature Works, and 5 minutes from downtown, this home (with easy access to 275) is a quiet oasis JUST close enough to the action. This one is gonna go quick!
