Historic home available for the first time since 1971! It is rare to find a home in one of Tampa’s most historic neighborhoods that embodies so much history with a legacy that stands as a symbol of the original developer’s vision and ambition for Davis Islands. D.P. Davis played a pivotal role in shaping the landscape of our Davis islands, and this home was designed and built for him on the island. Built in 1925, the 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom home with 4059 sq feet plus a separate 508 sq feet guest apartment and a 2 car garage is situated on a 1/2 acre lot with endless potential! Recognized for its historical and architectural significance, the Mediterranean Revival style home was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1989. Mediterranean Revival architecture was popular in Florida during the 1920s, characterized by features such as stucco exteriors, red tile roofs, arched doorways, and wrought iron details. Notably, the half-acre estate holds the potential to be restored to its original splendor and maintain its historic designation, or, divided into two lots, presenting an exciting opportunity for prospective buyers to undertake an extensive renovation or redevelopment.
