5301 N CENTRAL AVENUE

Step into timeless charm with this beautifully restored 1905 bungalow for rent in the heart of Seminole Heights, tucked away on one of the most picturesque streets in the Historic District — Central Avenue. This home captures the essence of historic craftsmanship while offering the modern updates and comfort today's renters are looking for.

From the moment you arrive, the oversized wraparound porch sets the tone — the perfect place to sip your morning coffee or wind down in the evening, surrounded by the quiet beauty of a tree-lined, walkable neighborhood. Inside, you’ll find original hardwood floors that glow with character, soaring tray ceilings, and a stunning brick wood-burning fireplace that anchors the living space. The open-concept layout makes everyday living and entertaining effortless, flowing seamlessly from the living room into the dining area and onward to the show-stopping kitchen.

The kitchen is an absolute dream, with striking Calacatta quartz countertops, custom shaker cabinetry, designer hardware, a mosaic tile backsplash, and high-end stainless steel appliances — even a built-in wine fridge. Tucked away on the first floor for privacy, the spacious primary suite is a calming retreat with room for a king-sized bed and a cozy reading nook, while the en suite bath feels like a spa with its thoughtful design and luxurious finishes. Two more bedrooms offer charm and flexibility, whether you're hosting guests, working from home, or just need a bit more space.

Upstairs, a loft area offers the perfect bonus space for whatever your lifestyle needs — a reading corner, creative studio, playroom, or workout zone. The home has been thoughtfully updated throughout, with major systems like plumbing, electrical, and HVAC already taken care of, as well as a new roof and beautiful landscaping that add to the curb appeal.

Located just a short stroll from neighborhood favorites like Spaddy’s Coffee, The Independent, and Health Mutt, and surrounded by parks, yoga studios, weekend markets, and some of Tampa’s best dining spots, this rental offers more than just a place to live — it’s a chance to experience the best of life in Seminole Heights.
