This thoughtful renovation of a historic Tampa home perfectly balances period charm with modern livability. The project showcases careful restoration work throughout, including preservation and exposure of original architectural elements while updating critical infrastructure and finishes. Standout features include a stunning arched brick alcove nook that was carefully uncovered and restored, revealing the home's original character-rich exposed brick. This architectural gem now serves as a functional coat hook area, blending historical authenticity with everyday practicality. The original fireplace was meticulously restored with its brick interior preserved and enhanced with fresh white trim carpentry work and custom mantel detailing. The home received comprehensive interior updates including fresh neutral paint throughout with careful attention to preserving original plaster walls, new terrazzo-look flooring that honors the home's vintage aesthetic while providing modern durability, upgraded recessed LED lighting with period-appropriate fixtures, and restored hallway arches with professional drywall finishing. All carpeted areas received new high-quality padding and installation, crown molding was restored or replaced to match original profiles, and the entire electrical system was updated to modern code standards while maintaining the home's historic character. Windows received new treatments, doors were refinished, and all trim work was carefully restored or replaced to match the home's original craftsmanship.
