Description

Virtually Staged. Nestled along one of Plant City's charming brick-paved streets in the Historic District, this timeless 1938 residence offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of local history while enjoying the comfort and convenience of thoughtful modern updates. Lovingly cared for by the same owner for more than three decades, this distinctive property sits on a rare double lot and showcases the perfect blend of historic character and contemporary functionality. From the beautifully restored original hardwood floors to the numerous renovations completed throughout the years, pride of ownership is evident at every turn. Even better, major improvements have already been taken care of, including a newer roof and HVAC system, both replaced within the past three years, offering peace of mind for years to come. The main residence features 2 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and inviting living spaces filled with warmth and character. Multiple exterior access points create seamless indoor-outdoor living, making the home ideal for entertaining family and friends. Step outside to your own private backyard retreat featuring a sparkling resurfaced pool, generous outdoor living areas, and plenty of room to relax or host gatherings. What truly sets this property apart is its exceptional flexibility. For more than 30 years, the current owner successfully operated a residential plumbing business from the property, making it an ideal opportunity for entrepreneurs, contractors, tradespeople, craftsmen, or anyone seeking the convenience of living and working in the same location. The impressive 30' x 36' detached garage features soaring ceilings, oversized doors, abundant storage, and the space needed for equipment, inventory, vehicles, or workshop use. Above the garage, a separate studio provides the perfect setting for a private office, meeting space, creative studio, guest quarters, fitness room, or potential third bedroom. With multiple driveways, a double carport, and extensive off-street parking, there's ample room for work trucks, trailers, boats, RVs, classic cars, or clients and guests alike. Beyond the property itself, you'll enjoy being just minutes from Downtown Plant City's vibrant dining scene, local boutiques, community events, and the world-famous Florida Strawberry Festival. Convenient access to Tampa, Lakeland, and major highways allows you to enjoy the charm of historic small-town living while remaining connected to everything the Tampa Bay area has to offer. Whether you're searching for a home filled with historic charm, a place to pursue your passions, or a property that supports your business ambitions, opportunities like this are exceptionally rare. Combining a double lot, private pool, abundant parking, flexible workspaces, modern updates, and an established history as a successful home-based business, this is far more than a home—it's a place where your next chapter can truly thrive.
