There are historic homes that have been remodeled or improved but very few that have been restored to National Historic Standards. This is the Jewel of Ybor! This home has been restored to a detail unlike any others in Ybor and is located in the National portion of the historic district. The home has been featured in the Tampa Tribune and on the cover of the Ybor Home Tour Guide. It offers 3 bedrooms and 1 bath, original heart pine floors finished with Osmo, built in bookcases and fluted 12' ceilings. Windows have been replaced with authentic double sash wood windows and hand made wood screens with solar screen for energy savings. Exterior doors are custom made - In the 1920's, doors were two inches taller. Interior doors are double paneled solid mahogany. During restoration all exposed wood was treated with Boracare a non-toxic permanent termite treatment. The home has a metal roof, updated electric and plumbing, insulation in attic and under floors, central AC, optional grey water system, tankless hot water and a central vacuum! The kitchen features custom built wood cabinets, subway tile and zinc counter tops. Bathroom features 1920's style 1" octagonal floor tile and subway tile in the oversized shower. The backyard is a fenced lush tropical setting with a koi pond, aquaponic vegetable garden, mature mango tree, myers lemon and a backyard chicken coop!
