Under contract-accepting backup offers. One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Welcome Home to this Historically Charming Old Florida Home in desirable Port Tampa. This property was originally platted as 3-25 foot wide lots on Olivette Street (now S. Westshore Blvd) in 1892. Recorded as a 1948 build, this home's original structure (front half) is said to have been constructed circa 1899 and the front porch and tin roof (2023) sure lend themselves to the shady southern tropical vibe. Complete with white picket fence, the curb appeal of this house effervesces the feeling of home. Off-street parking is always preferred, and there is ample room to build a garage and/or ADU as a curb cut already exists. Grandfathered (like many of the other homes on the street) as Residential Use, this property is zoned General Commercial, proving itself even more useful and valuable. Upon entering the home, you will notice the windows that nearly reach the floor, oversized base boards, and beautiful hardwood floors. The primary bedroom with ensuite is off to the right, and down the hall to the left is a cozy guest room, updated with rustic wood accent wall and vinyl plank flooring. An office or wine room separates the dining room from a second bath. A staircase located centrally in the home leads upstairs to a fabulous finished open loft complete with closet, perfect as a playroom, rec room, or make this your primary bedroom away from it all, freshly painted and brand new carpet. Located in the rear of the home, the updated kitchen with quartz countertops, vinyl plank flooring, and newer appliances has grand French doors that brings the outdoors in from the wrap around back porch. This tin roof covered back porch was made for sippin' tea and lemonade while basking in the salt air breeze from Tampa Bay. Located just down the road, Picnic Island Park is waiting for you to boat, kayak, paddle, fish, or bike. Steps away from the public library, school, and convenience store. Continue to restore this home to her Old Florida Charm or gut and re-structure the interior for a more modern lifestyle. Either way, this property is sure to provide several opportunities for you to build equity. Just a quick drive to the Cross-town Selmon Expressway, you will be to downtown Tampa, St. Pete, or anywhere in the Bay area in no time.
