About this home
A timeless piece of Tampa history, this beautifully maintained 1925 Craftsman-influenced Southern bungalow offers the architecture, lifestyle and sense of place that make Historic Hyde Park so enduringly desirable. Set prominently on a corner lot along Hills Avenue, the home enjoys an exceptional location just a couple of blocks from Bayshore Boulevard, while sitting at higher elevation outside of a designated flood zone. Hills is a quiet residential street with very little pass-through traffic, yet Hyde Park Village, neighborhood schools and many of South Tampa’s favorite destinations remain remarkably close. If two of the greatest lifestyle draws of Hyde Park are Bayshore Boulevard and Hyde Park Village, this home sits beautifully between them. The expansive wraparound porch immediately sets the tone. More than an architectural detail, it becomes a true extension of the living space during Tampa’s mild fall, winter and spring months—ideal for morning coffee, al fresco dinners, or a free-flowing indoor/outdoor cocktail gathering. Inside, the home offers 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, 2,378 heated square feet and 3,055 total square feet. Real hardwood floors, plantation shutters and abundant natural light complement generously scaled rooms. Separate living and family rooms provide valuable flexibility for modern family life, while the formal dining room can easily double as a dedicated work or study space. The living room features a substantial brick wood-burning fireplace, while the family room offers a second gas fireplace. The spacious kitchen is exceptionally well equipped with abundant cabinetry and prep space, granite countertops, a GE Monogram eight-burner gas range with center griddle, pot filler, wine refrigerator and stainless-steel appliances. Natural gas also serves the water heater and dryer, while a tankless hot water heater adds efficiency and convenience. Outdoor living is another defining feature. Beyond the wraparound porch, the private backyard feels like its own retreat with a resort-style pool and waterfall, lush tropical surroundings and expansive hardscaping for lounging, dining and entertaining. An oversized two-car garage, added in 2004 and accessed from the alley, is a rare luxury within a historic neighborhood and provides excellent parking and storage. The property may also offer compelling future expansion possibilities, whether enlarging the main residence or exploring additional living space associated with the garage, subject to applicable zoning, historic district and permitting requirements. Fresh exterior paint completed in 2026 further enhances the home’s beautifully preserved curb appeal. Just down the street, Front Porch Jazz has become a beloved local tradition. Gorrie Elementary and Wilson Middle School are both located within the neighborhood, while Plant High School is just a short bike ride or drive away. And during Tampa’s most celebrated season, few locations put you closer to the experience. Gasparilla’s parades, road races, art shows and music festivals transform the area into a multi-week celebration, and with Bayshore moments away, this is the kind of home that naturally becomes the gathering place for friends and family year after year. Downtown Tampa is approximately 9 min & Tampa Int'l Airport approximately 15 min away, offering an uncommon combination of historic charm, walkability, neighborhood intimacy and city convenience.
