Built in 1926 as a Sears, Roebuck & Co. catalog home and celebrating its centennial this year, this charming Palma Ceia bungalow offers a rare opportunity to own a special piece of Tampa history! Meticulously maintained and extensively improved, this 3-bedroom home with a versatile bonus room beautifully blends historic character with modern functionality. From its inviting covered front porch and beautifully refinished original hardwood floors to its fully remodeled kitchen and freshly painted interior, the home's original charm shines throughout. A front bonus room, currently used as a home office, and convenient mudroom provide the flexible living spaces and storage today's households need. The completely reimagined primary suite (2024) is a true standout, featuring a beautifully renovated bathroom with dual vanities and a spacious walk-in shower, plus an oversized walk-in closet rarely found in homes of this era. This extensive renovation went well beyond cosmetic improvements, including all-new drywall, electrical, plumbing, lighting, and attic insulation. Equally impressive are the substantial investments made behind the scenes, including a 2021 roof, dual HVAC systems (2018 and 2022), newer water heater, 2020 termite tenting with transferable warranty, gutters that drain to the street (ADS) and freshly painted exterior. All structural work necessary to ensure a solid foundation has also been completed. Outside, enjoy a fully fenced backyard with low-maintenance composite decking, plus a one-car garage for valuable additional storage. Nestled in the heart of desirable Palma Ceia, just steps from Roosevelt Elementary and neighborhood favorites including Chill Bros. Ice Cream, Buddy Brew, Kelp Sushi, Starbucks, and Cappy's Pizza. Less than a mile from iconic Bayshore Boulevard, zoned for Roosevelt/Coleman/Plant schools, and located in Flood Zone X. With its timeless charm, meaningful modern improvements, and unbeatable Palma Ceia location, this special bungalow is ready to welcome its next owners and the next century of memories!
