Step into timeless charm with this 1925 Craftsman-style home set on an expansive .23-acre double lot (10,000 square feet) in the heart of South Tampa, offering plenty of room for a pool. Rich with character and thoughtful updates, this three-bedroom, two-bath residence blends early-century craftsmanship with flexible modern living across 2,312 square feet. The inviting living room showcases the original fireplace, while classic details such as original crystal doorknobs and a charming front porch with swing reflect the home’s historic appeal.

Outdoors, enjoy a fully paved, landscaped, and fenced backyard with pavers added in 2020, well irrigation with a new 2024 well pump, and ample space for entertaining or relaxing.
