One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Welcome to 1012 Rome Avenue — a rare 1913 historic bungalow just a block from Bayshore Boulevard and blocks from Kate Jackson Park & Hyde Park Village. Built in 1913 as part of a remarkable four-home row commissioned by a local minister — thoughtfully named Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John — this residence is proudly known as “John.” A piece of Tampa history, rich with symbolism and craftsmanship that simply cannot be replicated. From the moment you arrive, the architectural character is undeniable. Graceful arches frame the front porch and continue throughout the interior entryways. Original paned glass and extraordinary millwork showcase the artistry of the era. One especially meaningful detail: a window featuring sixteen small panes surrounding a larger central pane — a subtle nod to John 3:16 and the home’s namesake. Inside, you’ll find three bedrooms, two baths, and built-ins at every turn — blending historic charm with comfortable living. The inviting front porch is perfect for morning coffee and evening conversation, while the spacious backyard and deck provide rare outdoor entertaining space for this coveted location. Positioned in Tampa’s most walkable neighborhood, you are steps from the waterfront , dining, shopping, and the vibrant energy of South Tampa — all while owning a true piece of architectural history.
