Just minutes from the iconic waterfront of Bayshore Boulevard, this South Tampa property presents a rare opportunity to restore a home filled with history, character, and timeless architectural details or create the custom home you've always envisioned. A brick paved walkway winds through lush tropical landscaping, leading to a spacious screened front porch that hints at the home's once elegant charm. Inside, you'll find original details that are increasingly difficult to replicate, including plantation shutters, beadboard ceilings, crystal glass doorknobs, genuine hardwood floors, and diagonal ceramic tile. The two bedroom, one bathroom main residence is filled with unique architectural character and nostalgic craftsmanship that serves as the foundation for an extraordinary restoration. Adding to the property's appeal is a detached garage with a charming one bedroom, one bathroom guest house above, creating the perfect private retreat for overnight guests, extended family, a home office, or future rental possibilities. Above the garage, you'll also discover a unique fenced rooftop terrace, an inviting space for entertaining, hosting intimate gatherings under the stars, or simply enjoying your own private outdoor escape. This property is in need of significant renovation and is being offered for buyers with the vision and resources to restore it to its former beauty or take advantage of the exceptional homesite to build a stunning new custom residence. Opportunities like this are becoming increasingly rare in one of South Tampa's most coveted neighborhoods. Whether your passion is preserving historic charm or creating a luxury estate from the ground up, this property offers an exceptional canvas in an unbeatable location, just moments from Bayshore Boulevard, premier dining, shopping, downtown Tampa, and everything that makes South Tampa one of the area's most desirable places to call home.
