Charming Craftsman Pool Home + Guest House in Seminole Heights! This meticulously cared-for home blends historic character with thoughtful updates. A canopy of crape myrtles and lush mature landscaping welcomes you to a spacious front porch anchored by monumental, round tapered columns set atop substantial golden-hued brick piers, a hallmark of early 20th-century Craftsman design and one of Seminole Heights’ most iconic architectural details. A porch swing and custom stained glass front door complete the warm and inviting entry. Inside, her original details shine: a gas fireplace with brick surround, built-in cabinetry, and stained glass windows echo her artistic charm. The kitchen features marble counters, handcrafted vintage oak cabinetry, and artisan glass doors by the same craftsman behind the front entry. A family room with herringbone porcelain tile opens to a covered rear porch through sliding doors, with views of the private courtyard and pool. The primary suite offers dual closets and a stone-tiled bath. A second bedroom, guest bath with glass block shower, and hallway laundry complete the main home. Out back, enjoy a recently restored pool with new PebbleSheen finish, updated tile and coping, upgraded equipment, and a raised gas-heated spa. A vintage soapstone sink set into a granite-topped workstation offers a versatile outdoor prep space, perfectly paired with a stainless Weber grill for effortless entertaining. Just steps away, a corrugated metal outdoor shower invites you to rinse off after a swim or unwind beneath the stars in true Florida fashion. Privacy fencing and established tropical landscaping complete the backyard retreat. The detached guest house includes two separate suites: one a studio apartment with kitchenette and full bath, the other a hotel-style room with full bath and in-unit laundry. The structure is separately metered for electricity, ideal for guests or rental use. A separate workshop with barn door entry is also accessed from the courtyard. Cared for and continuously improved by the same owner for the past decade, she reflects true pride of ownership and is ready to begin her next chapter with someone who will cherish her character and history as much as those before. Located in the heart of one of Seminole Heights’ most desirable pockets, this home offers not just a place to live, but a lifestyle rich in character, community, and connection. Arrange your private showing today and come experience the warmth, history, and possibilities this magnificent home offers.
