Property Description
PRICE IMPROVED - MOVE-IN READY ON A RARE DOUBLE LOT! Opportunities like this are becoming increasingly hard to find in the Seminole Heights area - a charming, updated home on an oversized 100 x 104 DOUBLE LOT with NO HOA, now offered at an improved price. Welcome to 1517 E Emma Street, where immediate livability meets long-term upside. This move-in ready 2-bedroom, 1-bath home delivers the comfort buyers want today - newer roof, updated windows and exterior doors, engineered wood flooring, refreshed kitchen and bath cabinetry, and updated tile - while preserving the kind of authentic character that cannot be replicated. Built in the 1950s by a skilled local craftsman (and several of his homes still dot the neighborhood and have wonderfully stood the test of time) and lovingly maintained by the same family since construction, the home reflects enduring quality. Artisan plaster walls and ceilings add warmth and texture throughout. Original vintage light fixtures and classic bath tile remain intact, along with a timeless iron/porcelain bow-front tub. Even the patio's original pine ceiling has been preserved - a subtle reminder of the home's heritage. At the rear of the property, an original carport with enclosed space (historically used as a studio apartment with full bath) presents exciting flexibility and opportunities after some needed TLC. With appropriate municipal approval, this space may offer potential for a future ADU, guest suite, or creative workspace - buyers to verify. But the true differentiator here is the land. The DOUBLE LOT provides flexibility that is increasingly rare in this evolving pocket of Seminole Heights. Expand the existing home, design exceptional outdoor living, add additional structures, or simply enjoy the breathing room and privacy - the parcel itself carries meaningful long-term value. Surrounded by visible neighborhood renewal, including new construction and thoughtful renovations of nearby vintage homes, this property sits in a location with continued growth and demand. For buyers seeking a home they can enjoy immediately - with space, character, and future potential built in - 1517 E Emma Street offers a compelling combination of craftsmanship, land value, and flexibility, now at an even more attractive price.
