5302 CENTRAL AVENUE

Step into an extraordinary revitalization of a 1912 Seminole Heights bungalow—designed by renowned architect Alan Dobbs of Florida Design Studio and expertly renovated by Turk Custom Homes—where timeless charm meets contemporary sophistication. Set on a prominent corner lot, this home blends classic architecture with luxurious finishes worthy of a magazine spread. This 3-bedroom, 2½-bath residence was taken down to the studs, with every element painstakingly restored and refreshed to offer a historic treasure reimagined for modern living. Entering from the front porch, you'll feel the welcoming flow beginning in the gorgeous living room, featuring new windows, including one added to the original design. The open floor plan leads to the dining room with its beautifully refaced fireplace, followed by a showstopping kitchen designed to be both functional and stunning. It includes Thermador stainless-steel appliances, custom solid-wood cabinetry with undermount lighting, subway tile backsplash, a large quartz island with seating, and a wall of lighted glass cabinets. Beyond the kitchen, a flexible space serves perfectly as an office, playroom, or creative retreat. Just off the kitchen is a powder room with handmade Zellige tile, curated wallpaper, and a designer vanity. A side-by-side laundry area sits before the antechamber leading to the primary suite, where exposed original brick adds character and creates a perfect art display. The sunlit primary bedroom flows into an ensuite with neutral tile, a chevron marble backsplash, spacious walk-in shower, custom cabinetry with quartz counters, and a custom walk-in closet. Engineered hardwood floors, designer lighting, recessed LEDs, and an in-home Sonos system add modern luxury throughout. At the rear, a new carpeted staircase leads to the upper level, where added dormers create two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom with a large tub/shower, custom cabinetry, and beautiful tile. Between the bedrooms, a private family-room retreat offers a cozy second living area. Everything has been replaced or restored: electrical, plumbing (including the waterline and sewer line), HVAC, roof, tankless gas water heater, water softener, gas lines, hurricane straps, spray-foam insulation, extensive siding, and new hurricane-resistant windows. All upgrades were made with care to maintain the home’s historic integrity. The sculpted landscaping enhances the property’s charm, with new yard design and full irrigation front and back. The expansive backyard features a new deck and hot tub, with room for a pool, garage and ADU! City-approved, paid-for plans for a covered porch are included and only need a permit. Set in the coveted Seminole Heights Historic District along Central Avenue, this home offers tree-lined streets, iconic architecture, and access to Tampa’s vibrant culture. A rare opportunity to own a classic bungalow reborn with distinction, blending architectural pedigree, modern luxury, and timeless charm. Come and see what makes this home so spectacular!
