About this home

NO FLOOD ZONE. Rare opportunity just steps from downtown Safety Harbor on the coveted cobblestone stretch of 5th Avenue. Originally built in 1925 during the height of the Sears & Roebuck catalog home era, this classic American Foursquare features the enduring craftsmanship of early 20th-century construction, including dense old-growth lumber known for its exceptional strength and longevity. While thousands of these homes were built nationwide, only a limited number of comparable early 20th-century homes remain in Florida today. Featuring tall ceilings uncommon for homes of this era, the property offers a unique sense of openness and character throughout. Spanning over 2,700 square feet across three levels, the home offers 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, bonus/flex spaces, a loft, and a layout ideal for buyers seeking something distinctive and full of personality. The primary suite features a private balcony, dual walk in cloests and a remodeled bathroom retreat. Inside, you’ll find an open kitchen with an island, dedicated laundry room, elegant laminate flooring, and a wood-burning fireplace with a chimney that adds warmth and historic charm to the living space. Flexible living areas throughout the home provide endless possibilities for guest space, offices, creative studios, or additional entertaining areas. Outside, a welcoming back patio overlooks the spacious backyard, offering endless potential to create your own outdoor retreat, whether it’s a garden, entertaining space, or future vision. A long-lasting metal roof adds additional value and peace of mind, while the cobblestone street setting enhances the home’s undeniable charm and sense of arrival. Walkable homes this close to downtown Safety Harbor are exceptionally rare. Just four blocks from restaurants, coffee shops, the pier, live music, art festivals, boutiques, Third Friday celebrations, and the world-famous Safety Harbor Spa. Whether you’re looking to restore, personalize, invest, or simply own a truly distinctive property in one of Tampa Bay’s most beloved waterfront towns, opportunities like this rarely come available.
