This Seminole Heights bungalow was fully restored in 2022, with every major system updated: new roof, new AC, new plumbing, new electrical, impact windows, and sliding glass doors, so there's nothing left on the to-do list. A twin-bed porch swing welcomes you on the front porch, setting the tone before you even step inside. 3 bedrooms and 2 baths are arranged in a split floor plan that's bright, open, and still full of the original character that makes these Heights homes so sought after. The kitchen opens to the living space and features new cabinets, quartz countertops, and a timeless subway tile backsplash, along with built-in storage and a stacked washer/dryer tucked behind barn doors. The primary suite offers generous space with an en suite bathroom, dual sink vanity, and a large walk-in shower. Out back is the true showstopper: nearly 1,000 square feet of vaulted, screened living space with a built-in bar, ideal for entertaining year-round in a setting quiet enough to hear the birds. The fully fenced 78' x 154' lot includes raised garden beds, wide open green space, a detached one car garage, and a storage shed, offering rare room to breathe this close to the city. Located in one of Tampa's most desirable pockets, you're minutes from downtown, Ybor City, Armature Works, and Busch Gardens, with easy I-275 access and the Hillsborough River trails nearby for morning walks or weekend rides. Rogers Park Golf Course and Henry & Ola Park are both just 1.4 miles away. NO HOA, NON Flood Zone, NO Rental restrictions. Eligible buyers may also assume the seller's VA loan, a valuable opportunity to lock in a lower rate in today's market. Character, modern systems, room to actually live. This one checks every box!
