Opportunities like this are becoming increasingly hard to find in the Seminole Heights area "” a charming, updated home on an oversized 100 x 104 DOUBLE LOT with NO HOA, now offered at an improved price. Welcome to 1517 E Emma Street, where immediate livability meets long-term upside. This move-in ready 2-bedroom, 1-bath home delivers the comfort buyers want today "” newer roof, updated windows and exterior doors, engineered wood flooring, refreshed kitchen and bath cabinetry, and updated tile "” while preserving the kind of authentic character that cannot be replicated. Built in the 1950s by a skilled local craftsman (and several of his homes still dot the neighborhood and have wonderfully stood the test of time) and lovingly maintained by the same family since construction, the home reflects enduring quality. Artisan plaster walls and ceilings add warmth and texture throughout. Original vintage light fixtures and classic bath tile remain intact, along with a timeless iron/porcelain bow-front tub.
