Description

Welcome to Old Seminole Heights—where character, community, and lifestyle all come together. Just steps from the charm of Lake Roberta, 5605 N. 9th Street is a reimagined bungalow that perfectly blends historic soul with modern, light-filled living.

Set on a corner lot with lush tropical landscaping and fresh curb appeal, this home immediately feels inviting—like the kind of place you’re excited to come back to (or host at).

Inside, the layout flows effortlessly. A bright front sitting room makes the perfect cozy lounge, reading nook, or work-from-home setup with natural light pouring in. The original bungalow charm carries through with two guest bedrooms—one featuring a Murphy bed, ideal for flex space when friends are in town.

The shared bath is timeless and elevated, with marble finishes and a soaking tub that feels equal parts classic and current.

Tucked away for privacy, the primary suite is your personal retreat—complete with a custom closet, spa-style bathroom, and French doors that open straight to the backyard. Morning coffee outside? Already handled.

The real moment happens as you move into the 2016 addition—where the home opens up into a bright, vaulted great room designed for how you actually live. Think: hosting friends, cooking with music on, doors open, drinks flowing. Natural light floods the space, while warm oak floors and subtle historic details keep it grounded.

The kitchen is clean and functional with granite counters, stainless appliances, a gas range, and plenty of storage—everything you need without overcomplicating it.

Step outside to your private backyard setup—low-maintenance turf, a freshly painted deck, and just enough space to entertain without spending your weekends doing yard work. It’s easy, elevated, and made for Tampa living.

And the lifestyle here? That’s the real draw.

Living in Hampton Terrace means you’re just a short walk to Lake Roberta, where mornings start with coffee and a loop around the water, and evenings bring neighbors out for walks, runs, and catching up. You’re minutes to local favorites, Publix, and a quick drive into downtown—giving you the perfect balance of neighborhood charm and city access.

Recent upgrades keep things turnkey and stress-free, including a new AC (2025), mini-split system (2025), smart washer/dryer (2024), and fresh interior/exterior paint—so you can move right in and start living.

This is the kind of home that feels good the moment you walk in—easy, stylish, and built for your next chapter.
