1218 E POWHATAN AVENUE

Adorable 2/1 Bungalow in Friendly Hampton Terrace, Seminole Heights Tampa. If you long for simplicity and function as well as thoughtful design, come for a visit! This freshly painted, warm and cozy historic home is cute as a button and has been lovingly maintained while retaining many original features harkening to a bygone era. Imagine pulling up to your home and into the picture-perfect porte-cochere, providing shade and cover during any weather Florida can muster. Don't worry, there's also a new AC system to keep you cool! As you enter here, up the porch steps and through the side door; you'll feel immediately welcomed by the original hardwood floors and built-in wood cabinetry adorning the formal dining area. The adjoining living room is just as lovely and features its own gem: a wood burning, brick fireplace centered among large, wood framed windows. Take a peek from the living room to your ample front porch and think about taking a moment's breath on your porch swing every evening, a hot tea or cold brew in hand. From here, you can greet neighbors as they take their daily strolls or rides and savor a cheery chat with friends or a a peaceful moment alone.
Follow the framed hallway entry to the naturally well-lit bedrooms complete with original windows and low-maintenance wooden floors. Next, take a look at the full bathroom where traditional features meet modern convenience: a pedestal sink, subway tile with sea foam green accents surrounding the tub and a cottage-sized shower window for ventilation and sunlight. Built-in shower and bathroom shelving provide quick access to your fresh towels and favorite self care products. Head to the easy-care kitchen containing all the stainless steel appliances you can't live without as well as tile flooring and granite countertops, both made for quick clean-up. Connected to the kitchen, you'll find the indoor laundry room (washer and dryer included!) with plenty of space for a reading nook, quiet seating area with lots of plants or additional storage overlooking the back deck and Florida-friendly yard. Want to sit outside but desire a bit of privacy? No problem! You can enjoy the sunshine and breeze on the back deck or in your spacious, fully fenced back yard. All that's missing is a fire pit and you! And did you know Hampton Terrace falls within the legal Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) boundary? It's true! That means that with some careful research and design, you can convert or expand the existing storage shed to accommodate an in-law or family member suite. Of course, this shed would also be ideal for your bikes, lawn care equipment, holiday decorations, an artist studio or she-shed getaway! This cozy house packs in all the best of a charming historic home with the ease of modern conveniences. And if you enjoy friendly neighbors, local breweries, great food, oak-lined streets and walkable parks along the Hillsborough River, you can't go wrong! Add to that this beautiful bungalow's proximity to Downtown Tampa, Armature Works, The Riverwalk, the University of South Florida and local attractions like the Tampa Zoo and Busch Gardens, you'll always have a fun event to attend! Schedule a visit and experience one of the most loved neighborhoods in Tampa for yourself. The front porch swing beckons!
