Under contract-accepting backup offers. NEARLY HALF AN ACRE IN THE HEART OF TAMPA!!! Welcome to this charming 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home offering a comfortable layout, great outdoor living space, Flood Zone X, and an incredible opportunity to own a truly rare amount of land in a central location. The home is move-in ready as-is, while also offering plenty of potential for a buyer who wants to make updates over time and add their own personal touch. The primary bedroom includes the half bathroom for convenience. And overall it's a great size for a growing family or anyone working from home in need of an office space! A major recent improvement is the 2025 A/C system, providing an important update and added peace of mind for the next owner. The home also features a dedicated laundry room conveniently located just off the oversized screened-in lanai. And then there's the land. Nearly half an acre in the heart of Tampa is an incredibly rare find. The expansive fenced-in backyard provides room for entertaining, gardening, pets, recreation, or simply enjoying a level of outdoor space that is increasingly difficult to find in this area. Whether you're a first-time buyer looking for a home with an enormous backyard or an investor thinking about the property's long-term potential, the possibilities are endless. The location is another major highlight, with ZooTampa at Lowry Park right next door, along with convenient access to major roads, shopping, dining, schools, and everything else Tampa has to offer. Priced to sell and offering the flexibility to move in now while updating over time, this is an opportunity to own a piece of Tampa with land, location, and long-term potential that is hard to replicate. Don't miss your opportunity to own this one! (Some photos have been virtually staged)
