Property Description
One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. **NEW LOT VALUE PRICE: PLANT YOUR SOUTH TAMPA ROOTS!** Positioned on a rare 136-ft deep lot in the heart of South Tampa, this property presents an exceptional opportunity for builders, investors, or end users looking to capitalize on one of the area's most desirable neighborhoods! Located within the coveted Plant High School district and situated in high-and-dry Flood Zone X, this is the kind of lot that's becoming increasingly hard to find. Whether you envision a luxury new build with a pool, expansive outdoor living, or maximizing the depth for a larger footprint, this property gives you the flexibility to execute. The existing 3-bedroom, 2-bath home with nearly 2,000 sqft of living space provides immediate usability, rental potential, or a comfortable place to live while you finalize building plans. Additionally, the detached 23' x 19' block workshop opens the door for future conversion into a guest house, home gym, or income-producing ADU-further enhancing the overall value of the property. Set on a quiet street just minutes from South Tampa's best amenities-including Bern's Steakhouse, Hyde Park Village, Palma Ceia Golf & Country Club, and Bayshore Boulevard-you're perfectly positioned for both lifestyle and long-term appreciation. Downtown Tampa is only 10 minutes away, Tampa International Airport 15 minutes, and the Gulf beaches within 30 minutes. At this rock bottom price, the seller is considering cash only, As-Is, no contingency offers. Opportunities like this-where lot value, location, and upside align-don't come around often! Secure the land now and build your vision later!
