Step into the magic of this 1927 heartthrob in the ever-charming, ever-evolving V.M. Ybor Historic District—where history hums through the brick-lined streets and the scent of café con leche lingers in the air. Nestled among century-old bungalows and just about a mile from the $180M+ Gas Worx development, this home is a rare blend of timeless craftsmanship and thoughtful modern updates.
While the home recently received a full renovation in 2025, it still exudes the kind of historic integrity and architectural detail that simply can’t be replicated today. From the gentle curve of the original archways to the rich, refinished heart of pine floors, every detail tells a story. The craftsmanship—typical of 1920s-era bungalows—is quietly evident in the subtle moldings, trim, and balanced layout. They truly don’t build homes like this anymore.
The kitchen has been thoughtfully reimagined with white shaker cabinetry, white hex tile flooring, recessed lighting, a GE appliance package including a slide-in range, and an undermount sink. The countertops are a true design statement: marble-inspired quartz with a bright white background and flowing gold veining, carried seamlessly up the wall as a continuous, matching backsplash—a detail that brings both visual harmony and a luxe, modern touch to the space. The bathroom has also been updated with tasteful finishes that complement the home’s original charm. Throughout the home, interior and exterior surfaces have been freshly painted using premium Sherwin-Williams paint, offering a clean, cohesive look with lasting quality.
Lighting and ceiling fans have been updated throughout, and the landscaping has been professionally designed for curb appeal and easy upkeep.
Set on a rare oversized double lot, this property offers tremendous flexibility. The lot is large enough to be split—sell the second parcel (valued around $150,000) or build a new construction home that could command upwards of $700,000. Investors will see strong potential in renting the existing home while developing the additional lot, while owner-occupants may want to enjoy the spacious yard and future value. Even if you keep both lots, there’s ample room behind the home to add a garage, carriage house, or pool.
Additional peace of mind comes from major system updates: the roof and HVAC were replaced in 2019, and the home was tented for termites in 2025. A detached backyard shed—grandfathered in and fully connected to electric and plumbing—currently houses the laundry area and could be repurposed as a studio, workshop, or storage space.
With proximity to downtown Tampa, Ybor City, Armature Works, the Channel District, and all the momentum of the Gas Worx development, this is a unique opportunity to own a piece of Tampa’s architectural history—with room to grow, develop, or simply enjoy for years to come.
