216 W SOUTH AVENUE One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Welcome to a storybook 1925 Seminole Heights bungalow where historic soul meets modern ease—a prizewinner of the South Seminole Heights Beautification Award (2022) and a rare find that’s eligible for short-term rental use for those seeking optional income potential through platforms like Airbnb.* Set on a quiet, tree-lined street, the home greets you with a custom front staircase, historically accurate restored wood siding (2020), and a freshly painted exterior (2021); a double-wide paver driveway—nearly unheard of in the Heights—comfortably parks six cars in front with room for three more in back, making gatherings effortless. Step inside to original 1925 hardwoods that glow under fresh interior paint (2024), built-in bookshelves framing a functioning wood-burning fireplace (cap closable; cleaned 2023), and timeless details like crystal doorknobs—heritage textures that feel both nostalgic and elevated. The kitchen blends period charm with today’s finishes, featuring premium vinyl flooring (2024) and a brand-new stainless appliance suite (2025), while practical upgrades throughout deliver everyday comfort: popcorn ceilings removed (2024), a new washer and dryer (2023), a 25-year roof (2017), and a completely new 3-ton AC with all-new ducting (2024) and the air handler thoughtfully placed in the attic to free up closet space. Three bedrooms and one bath live larger than expected, and the easy, walkable location puts parks, coffee shops, and beloved Seminole Heights hotspots within minutes—plus quick access to Downtown and the Riverwalk—so weekends can be as lively or laid-back as you like. This is a home to enjoy now and a lifestyle to grow into, wrapped in history, convenience, and opportunity in one of Tampa’s most cherished neighborhoods.
