Nestled in the heart of Tampa’s highly sought-after historic Hyde Park, this beautifully updated residence offers an exceptional blend of architectural character, modern sophistication, and effortless Florida living. Perfectly positioned on a prime corner lot, the home welcomes you with an expansive wraparound porch designed to take full advantage of its prominent streetscape—an inviting sanctuary for morning coffee or relaxing in the evening breeze. With two separate exterior doors opening directly onto the porch, the home delivers a continuous indoor-outdoor flow perfect for entertaining family and friends, especially during peak fall and winter hosting, holiday gatherings, or Gasparilla celebrations. Inside, high 12' ceilings and natural light create an airy, light-filled atmosphere, complemented by quality design updates throughout. The sellers collaborated with local Hyde Park specialist Offshore Design/Build to execute a comprehensive transformation, including the seamless addition of a primary bath and laundry room, as well as high-end remodels of the kitchen and both bathrooms. While currently configured as a spacious 2-bedroom home, it was originally a 3-bedroom layout and can be effortlessly reverted back to a 3-bedroom floor plan with straightforward wall framing to suit your lifestyle needs. Beyond the existing footprint lies incredible upside potential. The soaring attic features dramatic cathedral ceilings reaching 12 feet or higher at the center, offering 500+ square feet of clear, unobstructed buildable space beneath the existing roofline—ideal for creating additional bedrooms, an executive office, or a luxury media suite. Out back, a fully fenced yard provides a private retreat complete with a spacious custom storage shed. For those dreaming of an outdoor oasis, the property’s site potential for a private pool has already been verified by a premier local pool builder. This residence reflects over $225,000 in documented capital improvements and meticulous maintenance. Essential updates go far beyond cosmetics, offering long-term peace of mind with a complete HVAC replacement (including new air handler, condenser, and ductwork), new attic insulation, full-home rodent exclusion, a tankless water heater, updated fencing, updated appliances, and extensive structural enhancements to the front porch. The location is truly unmatched. Located just steps from iconic Bayshore Boulevard, Anderson Park & Hyde Park Village, residents enjoy immediate access to waterfront strolls, morning runs, and sweeping bay views. Excellent dining, boutique shopping, and top-rated schools are minutes away, while Downtown Tampa is just 10 minutes away and Tampa International Airport is a swift 17-minute drive. Zoned for A Rated: Gorrie Elementary, Wilson Middle & Plant HS. Offering timeless architectural style, extensive high-end enhancements, and substantial future upside, this Hyde Park treasure presents a rare turn-key opportunity in one of Tampa’s most coveted neighborhoods.

A timeless piece of Tampa history, this beautifully maintained 1925 Craftsman-influenced Southern bungalow offers the architecture, lifestyle and sense of place that make Historic Hyde Park so enduringly desirable. Set prominently on a corner lot along Hills Avenue, the home enjoys an exceptional location just a couple of blocks from Bayshore Boulevard, while sitting at higher elevation outside of a designated flood zone. Hills is a quiet residential street with very little pass-through traffic, yet Hyde Park Village, neighborhood schools and many of South Tampa’s favorite destinations remain remarkably close. If two of the greatest lifestyle draws of Hyde Park are Bayshore Boulevard and Hyde Park Village, this home sits beautifully between them. The expansive wraparound porch immediately sets the tone. More than an architectural detail, it becomes a true extension of the living space during Tampa’s mild fall, winter and spring months—ideal for morning coffee, al fresco dinners, or a free-flowing indoor/outdoor cocktail gathering. Inside, the home offers 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, 2,378 heated square feet and 3,055 total square feet. Real hardwood floors, plantation shutters and abundant natural light complement generously scaled rooms. Separate living and family rooms provide valuable flexibility for modern family life, while the formal dining room can easily double as a dedicated work or study space. The living room features a substantial brick wood-burning fireplace, while the family room offers a second gas fireplace. The spacious kitchen is exceptionally well equipped with abundant cabinetry and prep space, granite countertops, a GE Monogram eight-burner gas range with center griddle, pot filler, wine refrigerator and stainless-steel appliances. Natural gas also serves the water heater and dryer, while a tankless hot water heater adds efficiency and convenience. Outdoor living is another defining feature. Beyond the wraparound porch, the private backyard feels like its own retreat with a resort-style pool and waterfall, lush tropical surroundings and expansive hardscaping for lounging, dining and entertaining. An oversized two-car garage, added in 2004 and accessed from the alley, is a rare luxury within a historic neighborhood and provides excellent parking and storage. The property may also offer compelling future expansion possibilities, whether enlarging the main residence or exploring additional living space associated with the garage, subject to applicable zoning, historic district and permitting requirements. Fresh exterior paint completed in 2026 further enhances the home’s beautifully preserved curb appeal. Just down the street, Front Porch Jazz has become a beloved local tradition. Gorrie Elementary and Wilson Middle School are both located within the neighborhood, while Plant High School is just a short bike ride or drive away. And during Tampa’s most celebrated season, few locations put you closer to the experience. Gasparilla’s parades, road races, art shows and music festivals transform the area into a multi-week celebration, and with Bayshore moments away, this is the kind of home that naturally becomes the gathering place for friends and family year after year. Downtown Tampa is approximately 9 min & Tampa Int'l Airport approximately 15 min away, offering an uncommon combination of historic charm, walkability, neighborhood intimacy and city convenience.
