1801 W HILLS AVENUE Welcome to 1801 W Hills Ave, a beautifully renovated historic residence in the heart of Hyde Park, situated on a desirable corner lot. This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home blends timeless character with modern convenience and features a wraparound porch, private pool, metal roof, and a larger-than-average 2-car garage with rear alley access. Believed to have been originally constructed around 1910, the home was purchased by the current owners in 2003 and subsequently fully renovated in collaboration with the Architectural Review Committee (ARC) to preserve its historic integrity while incorporating modern updates throughout. The living room highlights exceptional original details, including a horsehair and plaster decorative border with gold leaf trim and a plaster stipple ceiling, showcasing the craftsmanship of the era. The thoughtfully designed floor plan offers spacious living and dining areas ideal for everyday living and entertaining, along with three well-appointed bedrooms and two and a half baths. A distinctive architectural feature of the home is the cupola, which provides a unique and versatile space suitable for a small bedroom, office, or private hideaway. Additional features include two fireplaces (one gas and one wood-burning), new air conditioning units, and a layout that is truly move-in ready. Outdoor living is enhanced by the wraparound porch and a private backyard retreat with a pool. The detached garage is conveniently accessed via the alley. Approved plans to add an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) above the garage are available upon request, offering future flexibility for guests, rental income, or a home office (buyer to verify zoning and permitting). The property is not located in a flood zone and sits at an approximate elevation of 25 feet above sea level. The home and surrounding street have not experienced flooding during past storm events. Ideally located just minutes from Hyde Park Village, Bayshore Boulevard, Downtown Tampa, and South Tampa’s premier dining and shopping, this exceptional residence offers historic charm, thoughtful renovations, and an outstanding South Tampa location.
