Be prepared to step back in time when you enter this authentically restored 1897 Port Tampa home. Known as the "McKinnon House" this is one of the original Port Tampa gems, and the owners have painstakingly restored her to her former glory. When the current owners purchased her, they said it was their mission to bring her back to life, and they certainly did! From the adorable front porch, the unique 45 degree door, rich and gleaming wood floors, soaring ceilings, natural light pouring through large windows, you will fall in love the second you step inside. Once inside you will find the home is deceptively large, housing an over-sized living room, four generous bedrooms, two baths, a picturesque kitchen with adjoining dining room, as well as a laundry room. Each room has details of original workmanship with bead board and ship-lap details throughout. The kitchen is a work of art, combining the feel of the turn of the 19th century with the modern amenities of stainless steal appliances, and a massive attached dining room for all your family gatherings. The pantry is smartly tucked under stairs leading up to an extra storage area. All 4 of the bedrooms are generously sized, and the master has two walk in closets. The 4th bedroom with the glass French doors can serve many uses: office, playroom, guest room, etc. One of the best modern touches is the indoor laundry room, which could potentially be converted to and extra bathroom as well. A sizable shed in the back yard allows for storage of your outdoor equipment and toys. For more information on the history of the home look up the book "History of Port Tampa City" by the Port Tampa Women's Club (available in the Hillsborough County Library System) where there is an article detailing it's history. This is one of the most unique homes to hit the Tampa market, so make your appointment to see it before it's gone.
