About this home
8917 N HIGHLAND AVENUE
One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. UPDATE (6/12): **Price Improvement & All Inspections Approved** City renovation permits have now been completed and closed out, and additional improvements were made to the property following the initial listing. WELCOME to “Highland House” — where quiet, space, and charm meet modern living in the heart of Tampa. If you love the cozy feel of a cabin but want modern finishes, generous square footage, and everyday functionality, this home offers the best of both worlds. No HOA, No CDD, with room to truly make the property your own! Tucked near the end of a cul-de-sac beneath mature oak trees, this rare QUADRUPLE LOT feels like a private park-like retreat—cool, shaded, and peaceful—with beautiful tree views from nearly every window. The majestic oaks have been professionally maintained and trimmed to provide generous clearance around the home while preserving the property's natural beauty. The home has undergone a FULL RENOVATION with a new roof, flooring, walls, ceilings, doors, energy efficient windows, siding, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. Enjoy the convenience of city water and sewer—no well or septic to maintain. Inside, natural light fills the home, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere while preserving its unique character. The oversized great room easily accommodates large furniture and is ideal for entertaining. A separate formal sitting area and adjacent dining space add flexibility for gatherings and everyday living. The beautifully updated kitchen features quartz countertops, a 5-burner stove, 28 soft-close cabinets, and a spacious eat-in layout. A dedicated laundry area is conveniently located just beyond the breakfast nook. This true 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers a functional layout with two bedrooms at the front of the house and two at the rear. The primary suite includes an ensuite bath and dual closets. The outdoor space is where this property truly stands out. Multiple parking areas provide plenty of room for boats, RVs, trailers, work vehicles, and guests. Existing asphalt and concrete pads offer endless possibilities for new stand alone garages, workshops, storage buildings, greenhouses, animal enclosures, outdoor entertaining spaces, and more. A patio just outside the kitchen creates the perfect spot for grilling and relaxing. At the back of the property, you'll find a large powered shed with covered lean-to space, making it ideal for hobbies, tools, projects, or additional storage. All of this charm, space, and flexibility is incredibly hard to find—especially in such a central location. In addition to being just 15 minutes from Tampa International Airport, Downtown Tampa, the Florida State Fairgrounds, and USF, you'll enjoy convenient access to several highly rated local dining options, including Latin, Mediterranean, and Italian cuisine, all within a short walk of the property. The public elementary and high school are both located less than a mile away, with IDEA Victory Preparatory Charter school just a short 10-minute drive from the property.

Value check
Is the price right?
The internet’s favorite home-value number comes from a single automated model that has never seen the street, the finishes, or the view — which is why it routinely misses by tens of thousands of dollars. The edgeAI estimate combines multiple independent data sources with our team’s on-the-ground expertise in this exact market.
