This exceptional 1925 Craftsman-style residence in Palma Ceia is a rare blend of historic elegance, thoughtful renovation, and modern structural integrity - a home with a story deeply rooted in Tampa's history. Originally built in the 1920s and once owned by the mother of a former Tampa mayor, the home carries a unique local legacy. It was later thoughtfully relocated and rebuilt on a solid, modern foundation, preserving its architectural character while delivering the confidence and integrity of newer construction. This intentional approach allows the residence to honor its past while living comfortably in the present. Throughout the home, classic Craftsman details evoke warmth and authenticity, while tasteful renovations enhance livability and flow. In addition to its architectural charm, the home has benefited from a series of recent upgrades designed to enhance comfort, efficiency, and long-term value - further reinforcing its ability to live like newer construction. The expansive backyard offers exceptional flexibility, with $34,000 in professional pool preparation already completed, making the property fully pool ready. Virtual renderings are available to help envision a custom pool and outdoor living space tailored to the next owner's vision. Set within Palma Ceia, one of South Tampa's most sought-after neighborhoods, this property presents a rare opportunity to enjoy historic style outside of Hyde Park. Ideally located near Bayshore Boulevard, the home provides convenient access to downtown Tampa, Hyde Park Village, Tampa International Airport, and South Tampa's dining and lifestyle amenities.
