As you turn into the historic Port Tampa neighborhood, you're welcomed by charming brick streets and homes dating back to the late 1800s—originally built for ship captains and soldiers. This beautifully crafted residence is a true example of workmanship, featuring not one but two front porches that invite you to sit back and take in the neighborhood's rich character. This two-story home offers 2 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a versatile bonus room on the second level that could easily serve as a third bedroom, home office, or creative space. As you enter the home’s covered front porch, you’re greeted by a grand staircase that immediately sets the tone for the classic elegance within. To the left, a formal family room offers a peaceful retreat with crown molding, French doors that overlook the front porch, and period architectural details—an ideal space to read a book and enjoy a cup of tea. The layout flows beautifully from the living room into the formal dining room, both conveniently situated just off the kitchen, creating a perfect setup for entertaining or everyday living. A thoughtfully placed powder room is tucked away at the end of the hall for added convenience. Throughout the home, you'll find timeless architectural details: hardwood flooring in the living areas and bedrooms, high ceilings, transom windows, wainscoting, medallion moldings around the light fixtures, French doors, and more. Outside you’ll find yourself on a spacious double lot measuring 100 x 94, offering endless opportunities to garden, create an outdoor living space, or simply enjoy the open air. Perfectly situated just 5 minutes from MacDill Air Force Base and only 20 minutes from downtown Tampa or St. Petersburg, this location offers easy access to both city centers. For those who appreciate historic charm with thoughtful updates for modern living, this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Port Tampa’s heritage. Experience the elegance and character of this historic gem. Welcome home! Metal Roof * HVAC 2015 * Electric 2005 * Pella Hurricane Impact Windows 2023 *
