Description
Welcome to the heart of Ybor, one of Tampa’s most storied neighborhoods — a place originally founded in the 1880s as a thriving cigar maker community and now beloved for its walkable streets, vibrant culture, and historic charm. This beautifully restored property offers TWO FULLY FUNCTIONAL HOMES. An 1836sf, 4/2 MAIN HOME and an 1824sf, 3/2 CARRIAGE HOUSE on one oversized lot with POOL, giving you flexibility, income potential, and the kind of lifestyle that blends character with modern comfort. ***Step inside the 4 bedroom, 2 bath main home, where natural light pours across original built ins, French doors, and a flexible bonus room perfect for an office or creative space. Recent UPDATED improvements include INTERIOR WALL PAINT (2025) and EXTERIOR PAINT (2020) , giving the home a fresh, move in ready feel. The property is powered by SOLAR PANELS with a back up battery that provides approximately 35% of the main home’s electricity — a major win for both insurance and monthly savings. ***Out back, your private oasis awaits. The INGROUND POOL and GAS HEATED SPA sit on a beautifully landscaped, pavered deck, surrounded by tropical foliage and multiple lounging areas. The pool area is supported by GAS APPLIANCES, including a tankless water heater and gas hookup for a grill — perfect for weekend gatherings or quiet evenings under the palms. ***The CARRIAGE HOUSE adds even more value with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, its own electric meter, and its own SOLAR PANELS, which cover 100% of electricity in summer and 65% the rest of the year .
