318 W HAYA ST

Live your best bungalow life in the heart of South Seminole Heights. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath stunner blends timeless charm with thoughtful upgrades in one of Tampa's most walkable and creative neighborhoods. Just steps from the Hillsborough River and Rivercrest Park, this is a rare opportunity to live near the water--not in a flood zone. Original hardwood floors carry warmth and character throughout the home, while the cozy wood-burning fireplace and custom blinds add style and comfort in all the right places. A new HVAC system keeps things cool year-round, and the layout flows effortlessly between living, dining, and outdoor space. The kitchen is a total standout, designed by Liveworks Studio with more storage than you typically see in a bungalow. We're talking TONS of pantry space, custom cabinetry, custom countertops, open shelving, a gas range, and stainless steel appliances--it's as functional as it is beautiful. The primary suite is tucked away for privacy, featuring a walk-in closet, a well-appointed en suite bath, and direct access to a screened-in lanai--your personal retreat for morning coffee or quiet evenings. The two secondary bedrooms are generously sized, and the guest bath mixes vintage charm and practicality with an authentic iron clawfoot tub, pedestal sink, and built-in linen closet for extra storage. Outside, the nearly maintenance-free yard is dialed in with custom pavers and a firepit, perfect for Florida nights with friends. A 1-car detached garage adds great storage or workspace options, and the classic front porch brings those slow Sunday morning vibes full circle. Location is everything, and this one nails it--just 5 minutes to downtown Tampa, midway between USF and UT, and walking distance to local favorites like Chanko, The Independent, Common Dialect, and Health Mutt. This pocket of South Seminole Heights is full of energy, charm, and community--and this home puts you right in the middle of it. This isn't just a place to live--it's a lifestyle with a vibe all its own. Come see it for yourself.
