Property Description

Welcome to 1517 E Emma Street, a rare opportunity in Tampa's South East Seminole Heights where character, land value, and long-term potential intersect—with no HOA restrictions. This charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath home is rich with authentic vintage details that are increasingly hard to find. Built in the 1950s by a skilled craftsman, the home has remained in the same family since its construction, a testament to both its quality and care. The builder's legacy is still evident throughout the neighborhood, where several homes he constructed remain standing and in excellent condition today, reinforcing the enduring craftsmanship of this era. Inside, artisan plaster walls and ceilings create warmth and texture throughout, complemented by original vintage light fixtures and classic bath tile. The bathroom features a timeless iron/porcelain bow-front tub, while the patio showcases its original pine ceiling, preserving the home's historic soul and character. Thoughtful updates enhance everyday livability while respecting the home's original charm. Improvements include a newer roof, newer windows and exterior doors, engineered wood flooring, updated kitchen floor tile, and refreshed kitchen and bath cabinetry, creating a comfortable balance of vintage appeal and modern functionality. At the rear of the property is an original carport structure with attached enclosed space, historically used as a studio apartment with a full bathroom. This area may offer the opportunity to be revitalized and reimagined as a modern additional dwelling unit (ADU) or flexible guest or work space, subject to buyer verification and approval by the local municipality. What truly sets this property apart is the DOUBLE LOT, measuring approximately 100 x 104 feet per public records—an increasingly valuable asset in this rapidly evolving pocket of Seminole Heights. Whether you envision expanding the existing home, adding outdoor living, creating additional structures, or exploring future redevelopment options, this oversized parcel offers flexibility and long-term upside that is becoming exceptionally rare. Situated within a niche of the community experiencing visible renewal through new home construction and thoughtful renovations of surrounding vintage homes, this location reflects the continued growth and demand in South East Seminole Heights. For buyers seeking authentic character today with meaningful future potential, 1517 E Emma Street offers a compelling opportunity rooted in craftsmanship, land value, and neighborhood momentum—without HOA constraints.
