Freistehendes Einfamilienhaus Tampa

Under contract-accepting backup offers. Rarely does a Palma Ceia bungalow deliver this much character, lifestyle and confidence in one complete package. Set along picturesque brick-paved streets, this beautifully maintained home combines classic South Tampa charm with a private backyard retreat featuring a pool, spa and spacious cabana.

There is something special about this pocket of Palma Ceia. Mature landscaping, beautifully cared-for homes and tree-lined brick paved streets create the kind of neighborhood where families ride bikes, neighbors stop to visit and the playground/dog park is just blocks away. Add highly regarded public schools, easy access to Bayshore Boulevard and exceptional proximity to South Tampa’s favorite restaurants, coffee shops and destinations, and it is easy to understand why homes here are so sought after.

Inside, the floor plan feels immediately comfortable and functional. The formal living room welcomes you with solid wood flooring, plantation shutters, 7-inch baseboards and a wood-burning fireplace. Hardwood continues through the dining room (highlighted by tall wainscoting) and into the bedrooms.

The spacious kitchen offers excellent workspace and storage with updated appliances. Just beyond, a dedicated mudroom provides an additional pantry, new washer, new dryer, side-door access and plumbing for a future utility sink.

Privately positioned at the rear of the home, the Owner’s Suite offers generous proportions, abundant natural light, additional closets and direct access to the pool deck.

Outside, your private retreat awaits. The resurfaced pool and spa feature updated lighting plus a new 2025 pool pump and filter. A substantial cabana with electrical service creates the perfect setting for outdoor entertaining, while updated and extended wood decking and newly added side-yard turf further enhance the outdoor living space.

Equally impressive is the investment made behind the scenes. Recent improvements include a 2023 HVAC system, 2021 ductwork, 2025 tankless gas water heater, newer washer/dryer and approximately $10,000 invested in 2026 to add two steel structural reinforcement beams. The owner also invested approximately $15,000-$20,000 in an extensive gutter-to-French-drain system around the home, routed toward the street.

Additional improvements include a 2018 roof, newer interior and exterior paint, updated double-pane Low-E windows, custom-fitted storm shutters, updated electrical and plumbing and active termite protection/warranty.

The location completes the package. Enjoy quick access to the Selmon Expressway, Downtown Tampa and St. Petersburg. Walk or bike to restaurants throughout Palma Ceia and SOHO, reach Hyde Park Village in minutes, grab coffee along Bay-to-Bay Blvd. or bike to Bayshore Boulevard. Palma Ceia Golf & Country Club is conveniently just steps away.

Classic South Tampa charm, a backyard built for entertaining and years of meaningful capital improvements already completed. This is the kind of Palma Ceia home buyers wait for — and one that is exceptionally difficult to recreate
