SITUATED ON A HUGE LOT (.23 acres) WITH SO MUCH POTENTIAL!!! Since ADUs are now allowed in the East Tampa Overlay District, build up to a 950 sq. ft. dwelling unit for additional rental income!! Built prior to 1915 per the historic Sanborn maps, this historic gem in the highly desired neighborhood of V.M. Ybor, is ready for its new owner! Located in the Local Ybor Historic District, this one-of-a-kind Folk Victorian home is overflowing with charm. Situated on almost ¼ acre, there is so much room to spread out and create your dream yard! Enter the home from the immense wrap around front porch, great for enjoying your morning coffee, or a glass of wine while watching the changing evening sky. The foyer provides a formal welcome to your guests, and the custom made, solid wood, 2-panel interior doors with an oversized light and glass doorknobs, pair nicely with the original fluted trim, decorative plinth blocks, high baseboards, 11' ceilings, and picture railing that is found throughout the home. The first of several oversized bedrooms is located off the foyer, as is the entry to a private suite, which would be great for multigenerational living, or as a possible rental opportunity. Proceed into the huge living room graced with a built-in display cabinet adorned with wavy glass, a unique fireplace mantel consisting of turned columns and hearty corbels, and tall windows that allow a ton of light in. The amply sized primary suite is located off of the main living space, accessed through a custom 5-panel wood door. Tall windows brighten the room, along with the 5-panel, frosted glass bathroom door, which allows the light from the bathroom skylight to radiate through. A matching fireplace adds an extra cozy feel. A full bathroom, walk-in closet, and large bonus closet finish off the suite. The back of the home includes a hallway bathroom with a shower stall, a large kitchen with French doors leading to the spacious rear deck, a nice sized laundry room with tons of storage opportunities (think possible future butler's pantry!), and a third downstairs bedroom. Zoom back to the foyer, and enter a kitchenette/living room combo on your left, with another full bath with a shower stall. This area may also be accessed by an exterior door from the wrap around porch if used as a rental unit. Stairs lead up to a huge loft featuring a walk-in closet, and plenty of space to spread out. The large yard provides so many possibilities, and is full of butterflies due to the passionfruit vine, lychee and guava trees, and other mature landscaping. This historic home is located along the recently updated Columbus Drive, a "Complete Streets" project that was featured in Trends Magazine. V.M. Ybor is a community oriented neighborhood, providing lots of opportunities to get to know your neighbors, as well as to learn about the area's rich history. Located very close to Elevenses and La Segunda bakeries, and within minutes of downtown Tampa, Tampa Armature Works, The Riverwalk, Channselside, Water Street, and Historic Ybor, which is undergoing a massive revitalization, with Gasworx as the beginning! With easy access to I-275 and I-4, you cannot beat the location. Don't miss your chance to be part of this wonderful neighborhood and book your showing today!
