About This Property

Welcome to 511 E Francis Avenue, a fully remodeled historic bungalow in the heart of Tampa Heights, just minutes from Downtown Tampa, Armature Works, the Riverwalk, and everything the Heights has to offer.

Buyer to independently verify all zoning, permitting, setbacks, and ADU eligibility with the City of Tampa. The home has been thoughtfully remodeled while maintaining the character and charm of a classic Tampa Heights bungalow. For added peace of mind, a clean four-point inspection and full home inspection were completed prior to listing. A turnkey home, oversized lot, alley access, and future potential in one of Tampa’s most sought-after historic neighborhoods. This one won’t last.
