Inside, the 1925 original hardwood floors gleam beneath fresh interior paint (2024), while built-in bookshelves frame a functioning wood-burning fireplace with a closable cap (cleaned 2023), surrounded by crystal doorknobs and period details that capture the home’s vintage soul. The updated kitchen combines classic style with modern finishes, featuring premium vinyl flooring (2024) and a brand-new stainless steel appliance suite (2025). Thoughtful upgrades throughout include popcorn ceiling removal (2024), new washer and dryer (2023), a 25-year roof (2017), and a new 3-ton HVAC system with all-new ducting (2024) and air handler relocated to the attic to maximize storage. With three bedrooms and one bath, this home lives large, blending character and function in perfect harmony. Outside, enjoy the walkable lifestyle that defines Seminole Heights living, with parks, coffee shops, award-winning restaurants, breweries, and the Tampa Riverwalk just minutes away.
