Description
Step into a piece of Tampa history with this authentic 1926 Craftsman Bungalow nestled in the highly sought-after East Bayshore Beautiful neighborhood. This well-preserved home contributes to the architectural tapestry of Bayshore Beautiful, where historic homes sit gracefully alongside modern luxury builds. From the wide front porch to the Porte-cochère every detail reflects the era’s artistry and intent. Inside, the home showcases exquisite original millwork, from carved wood trim and crown molding to decorative cabinetry and hand-carved accents. Graceful columns frame the passage between the spacious living room—anchored by a wood-burning fireplace—and the large formal dining room, which is adorned with the original brass chandelier. The kitchen features wood cabinetry with artistic detail, a closet pantry, and a distinctive Italian chandelier, while the original checkerboard flooring adds vintage flair and 1920s drama. A bonus room off the kitchen houses a built-in drafting table, a laundry closet with stackable washer/dryer, and direct access to the carport. The primary bedroom includes a walk-in closet and an adjacent bonus room with a charming potbelly wood-burning stove and built-in shelving—perfect as a reading room, office, or cozy retreat. The spacious bathroom blends vintage character with functionality, showcasing what is likely the original cast iron alcove tub with shower, a single vanity, and a stunning decorative stained-glass window that casts soft, colorful light into the room. Other highlights include original oak hardwood floors, all original windows, old-growth doors with original crystal knobs, a detached storage shed, and preserved light fixtures throughout.
This timeless gem is more than a home—it’s a rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully maintained piece of Tampa’s past, full of soul, character, and enduring craftsmanship.
