This 3/2 historic bungalow has a story...moved from its original location at 1703 E 15th Avenue in 2002, it was completely rehabilitated in cooperation with the Florida Department of Transportation, the Federal Highway Administration and the City of Tampa. You see, this home was displaced by the I-4 expansion and has found new life 0.3 miles from its original location. This home, along with 20 other such relocated and rehabilitated bungalows, comprise a 2-block historic district of their very own. This community is special, a small piece of Ybor City complete with Augusta Block bricks and globe street posts. You might even imagine the many feet that have touched this earth and the memories each home holds. As you pull up to your driveway along the brick alley, you'll notice this is the place where neighbors gather for a chat, where barbecues are held, where neighbors walk their dogs. Walking up to your back door, you'll see a wooden deck and a picnic table surrounded by lush ferns and further still up the steps, you'll notice your metal twist doorbell. As for the interior, you will expect and be pleased to see wooden floors throughout, butcher block counter tops, a farmhouse sink and all the details you've come to love in historic homes and then some. Every window and door is framed and each interior door is made of Brazilian wood. The front door has a fully functioning transom window, a rectangular window which allows air and light to flow through the home. Step out onto your large, wooden front porch framed by two large pillars made of Spanish brick and containing a wooden swing for lounging. The attention to detail and the pride of ownership exudes from every corner of this home. If you've been dreaming of a historic bungalow with all the updates, this is it! A couple of blocks from 7th Avenue, you'll be close to the bustle of Centro Ybor but tucked away in your own little oasis. La Segunda Bakery is just down the street for your fresh Cuban bread. There's so much to love here. Come for a visit and stay forever. You'll be glad you did! Schedule an in-person or virtual showing today!
