Massive $15,000 price drop! In a market where many homes have undergone post-storm renovations, this property stands apart, remaining high and dry during recent storms with no known history of flooding. That kind of real-world performance offers something increasingly valuable in South Tampa: peace of mind. Built in the late 19th century during Tampa’s early railroad and Port Tampa expansion era, the home is officially recorded circa 1900 due to early documentation gaps, with historical references suggesting an even earlier origin. This historic residence carries a direct connection to Tampa’s formative growth period, when Henry B. Plant’s rail line helped shape the city’s development. Welcome to the historic “Lester House,” once home to L.J. Lester, the city’s first Marshal, a residence rich in story, character, and thoughtful updates. This 2-bedroom, 2-bath home features soaring 10-foot ceilings, abundant natural light, and an effortless flow throughout. The first floor showcases real hardwood floors, while the kitchen is designed for serious cooking and entertaining, anchored by a 48-inch Viking gas range and stainless steel appliances. The primary bathroom features a classic clawfoot tub, reinforcing the home’s historic character. Step outside to enjoy a wraparound patio and a beautifully landscaped yard with mature greenery, creating a private and inviting outdoor setting. Additional updates include a brand new HVAC system, less than one year old. A rare opportunity to own a home that blends deep Tampa history, meaningful upgrades, and lasting confidence.
