Property Description
One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. **NEW PRICE: PLANT YOUR SOUTH TAMPA ROOTS! Tucked into a quiet neighborhood street in quintessential South Tampa (Plant High school district and high-and-dry at flood zone X!), this beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath ranch-style gem is your chance to plant roots for a fraction of the price. With nearly 2,000sqft of heated living space, the possibilities to grow in this home and make it your own are endless! With a clean 4-point inspection in hand completed on 9/30/25 and the sellers agreeing to replace the electric panel before closing, you will have peace of mind knowing the main systems of the house are in good working condition (Roof 2014, AC 2018, Water Heater 2024). The floor plan flows seamlessly already so all you need to do is add your finishing touches. Outside you will find a fully fenced backyard featuring a screened-in porch - perfect for morning coffees or evening gatherings. Plus, there's a detached 23' x 19' (437sqft BLOCK construction) workshop ideal for hobbies including boat storage, your DREAM home gym, or even converting it into an 1 Bed/1 Bath mother-in-law suite. If you convert it to heated living space, that would give you 4 beds/3 baths and ~2,413sqft total! If you're the poolside tanning type, you can remove the tree and you have plenty of room to build a pool and enjoy the beautiful Tampa weather. With a 136 ft deep lot and multiple lots selling for $625k in this neighborhood (only $70k for both structures that just need your personal touch!), this home is a tremendous value. Living on South Richard Street, you will love being just minutes from Bern's Steakhouse, Hyde Park village, Palma Ceia Golf & Country Club and Bayshore Boulevard (perfect for exercising!). Downtown Tampa is just 10 minutes away, Tampa International Airport is a quick 15 minute ride, and you're just 30 minutes to the Gulf's world famous white-sandy beaches. Floor plan available upon request. Don't miss out on this opportunity at this new price, schedule your showing today!
