About 5301 N Central Ave

Step into timeless elegance with this exquisitely restored 1905 bungalow, located on one of the most picturesque streets in the Historic District of Seminole Heights — Central Avenue. A true masterpiece of early 20th-century craftsmanship, this one-of-a-kind home perfectly balances vintage charm with modern luxury. From the moment you arrive, the curb appeal is undeniable. The oversized wraparound porch — a classic bungalow hallmark — invites you to sip your morning coffee or unwind in the evening while soaking in the beauty of one of Tampa’s most beloved historic neighborhoods. Inside, you’re welcomed by soaring tray ceilings, original glowing hardwood floors, and a stunning original brick wood-burning fireplace that serves as the heart of the home. The open-concept layout seamlessly connects the living and dining spaces, creating an airy, inviting atmosphere that’s perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen is a true showstopper. Calacatta quartz countertops, custom shaker cabinetry, gold designer hardware, a mosaic tile backsplash, and top-tier stainless steel appliances — including a built-in wine fridge — combine to create a space that’s as functional as it is beautiful. Tucked away on the first floor for added privacy, the spacious primary suite is a serene retreat with room for a king-sized bed and cozy reading nook. The spa-inspired en suite bath features luxe finishes and thoughtful design. Two additional bedrooms are equally charming and versatile, perfect for guests, family, or a home office. Upstairs, a bonus loft space offers endless possibilities — use it as a creative studio, reading nook, playroom, home gym, or whatever your lifestyle demands. This home has been meticulously upgraded with modern systems while preserving its historic soul. Updates include plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and a fully restored foundation. A new roof, fresh sod, irrigation, and pristine landscaping round out the turnkey appeal. Location-wise, it doesn’t get much better. Situated in one of Seminole Heights’ most walkable pockets, you’re just steps from neighborhood favorites like Spaddy’s Coffee Co., The Independent, Health Mutt, parks, yoga studios, weekend markets, and some of Tampa’s best dining. This isn’t just a home — it’s a piece of Tampa history, thoughtfully updated for today’s homeowner. Homes like this rarely come on the market. Schedule your private showing and experience the magic of this historic Seminole Heights gem for yourself.
