Charming 1949 Riverside Heights Home with Detached Garage & Pool. Move-in ready and full of light, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home sits on a picturesque brick-paved street in the heart of Riverside Heights. Only two owners in its 75-year history, now it's your turn. Set on a deep .18-acre lot, the home blends original character with thoughtful updates just minutes from downtown Tampa, Armature Works, and the Hillsborough River. Awnings frame the front windows, and a sunroom off the entry makes a great home office or reading nook. Original hardwood floors run throughout (awaiting refinishing), and the kitchen features stainless GE appliances and a gas range. The third bedroom is currently open as a den; add doors to convert it back. The primary suite addition (fully permitted, 2015) is a standout, with vaulted ceilings, an en-suite bath, a walk-in closet, and a private door to the backyard. Out back, a deep, fully fenced yard centers on a saltwater pool (completed January 2021) with plenty of room to spare. Rain barrels are already set up, laundry is in the detached garage, and the landscaping is Florida-friendly and low-maintenance. A working alley runs behind the property; just add a gate for access. Major systems are done, including a brand-new roof (2025), HVAC (2015, well-maintained), updated plumbing and electrical, and natural gas with a tankless water heater. There was no flooding or damage from the 2024 storms. The value here is hard to ignore: teardown lots in this pocket of Riverside Heights are trading at $500K+, with new construction nearby pushing past $1M. A move-in-ready home on a deep, oversized lot with a pool already in place, under $550K, doesn't come around often. Location, character, and upside, all in one address. No HOA, no CDD, no flood insurance required. Call for your private showing today.
