Property Description
This is an extraordinary opportunity to become the steward of architectural history. Welcome to Tampa's iconic Lustron home – a favorite on the Seminole Heights Homes Tour and one of only a few remaining in Florida. These remarkable prefabricated enameled steel houses were developed in the post-World War II era by inventor Carl Strandlund's Lustron Corporation, specifically designed for returning G.I.s. This 1950s treasure remains in pristine condition, just as stunning as the day it emerged from its shipping container and was assembled.
Say goodbye to termite worries forever! This home features exterior steel panel construction, interior steel beam wall structure, and steel beam roof construction. Only the garage and addition use traditional wood framing. In Florida's termite-prone climate, this steel construction is genius – imagine never having to worry about structural termite damage again!
The original spacious 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom layout offers exceptional flow for entertaining with a large, open family room seamlessly connected to the dining area and charming pass-through window to the kitchen. The kitchen boasts a stunning oversized enameled sink, abundant cabinet storage, and dedicated space for refrigerator, washer, and dryer. You'll even find the fascinating original heating system motor as a unique historical feature. A smart rear addition includes a convenient half-bathroom and versatile studio space.
Prepare to be amazed by storage solutions – a rarity in homes of this era. Built-in storage throughout, multiple thoughtfully designed closets, and even the main bathroom features an extra-large storage cabinet. The enclosed breezeway between house and garage includes air conditioning, perfect for relaxing. The expansive yard is ideal for entertaining with endless possibilities on this huge lot.
This isn't just a home – it's a piece of American history you can actually live in. The preservation and condition of this Lustron home is remarkable, offering the perfect blend of historical significance and modern livability. Don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a true architectural treasure that combines historical significance with practical, termite-free living in the heart of Tampa.
