Description

This beautifully updated, move-in ready home in the Lakewood Manor subdivision of sought-after Hampton Terrace offers a rare blend of character, elevation, and functionality just moments from downtown Tampa. Positioned approximately 37 feet above sea level with no flood insurance required, the property also enjoys views of Lake Roberta and a setting that feels both established and connected. Uncommon for the area, the home features an attached two-car garage, generous closet space, and an oversized crawl space comparable to a basement, providing exceptional storage and everyday practicality that is increasingly hard to find in Seminole Heights. Inside, refinished wood floors (2021) preserve the home's charm while offering a fresh, updated feel. The spacious living room flows into a formal dining area accented by original built-in corner cabinets. The updated kitchen is equipped with white shaker cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and a breakfast nook that opens to the back deck and expansive fenced yard. With a 70 x 130 lot, there is ample room to create a custom outdoor retreat. The flexible floor plan includes three bedrooms and two baths. The primary suite offers two closets and an ensuite bath, while the upstairs bedroom opens to a private screened-in balcony overlooking the backyard, ideal as a guest suite, office, or quiet retreat. Major improvements provide peace of mind for years to come, including hardiboard siding, a new roof (2021), AC (2019), water heater (2023), refinished floors (2021), new windows and exterior doors, all new PEX plumbing from the street to the fixtures, and a newly retiled primary shower (2025), along with additional cosmetic updates throughout. Conveniently located approximately five minutes to downtown Tampa, with easy access to I-275 and just minutes to Tampa International Airport and International Plaza, this home delivers location, elevation, storage, and true move-in readiness without compromise.
