About This Property
TWO PLATTED LOTS totaling approximately .42 acres in the heart of Tampa — with an existing 3-bedroom home, additional full bath in the outbuilding, koi pond and intriguing future development potential! Situated at 8602 N Rome Avenue, this unique property offers approximately 1,875 square feet of living area on an oversized homesite legally described as Lots 26 and 27 of Oakwood Manor. With newer construction nearby selling on considerably smaller homesites, this property presents an opportunity not often found in an established Tampa neighborhood. The existing residence offers 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths plus an additional half bath that was formerly configured with a shower. The washer and dryer were relocated to the adjoining laundry room, leaving the existing plumbing in place and offering the potential to restore the space to a full bathroom. An outbuilding on the property provides an additional full bathroom. Step outside to mature landscaping, generous yard space and a koi pond, with plenty of room to enjoy the property as it exists today. For the investor or builder, the property's size and two-lot legal description create an especially compelling opportunity to investigate future redevelopment. Buyer and buyer's agent to independently verify zoning, lot configuration, setbacks, utilities, subdivision requirements and buildability with the appropriate governmental authorities. Convenient to shopping, dining, schools, parks and major Tampa roadways. Live in it, improve it, invest in it or explore the possibilities offered by this unusually large homesite.
