Experience the charm of Historic Downtown Safety Harbor with this one-of-a-kind, beautifully restored property known as the Gingerbread House—one of the oldest and most cherished homes in the area. Fully restored in 2018, this mixed-use property offers two separate residences, presenting a rare opportunity for various uses such as a private residence, upscale Airbnb, restaurant, retail space, or a combination of business and living quarters. Situated on a picturesque brick street, directly across from the John Wilson Gazebo Park and amidst the vibrant culture of downtown, the possibilities are endless.
The front home showcases the original restored hardwood floors and windows, featuring 2 bedrooms, 2 baths and a quaint wood burning stove fireplace with original brick hearth. The kitchen is outfitted with stainless steel, premium appliances, granite countertops, and modern fixtures that blend seamlessly with the historic charm. Both bathrooms are exquisitely designed with custom ceramic tile, one featuring a Clawfoot tub and the other a sleek, modern glass-enclosed shower. There is also a full-sized washer and dryer tucked away in a devoted laundry closet for your convenience. A massive back porch and beautifully landscaped courtyard shaded by a large oak tree create a serene outdoor space perfect for year-round enjoyment.
The second building on the property, the Gingersnap Cottage, was constructed in the 1970s, and is slightly larger boasting an open floor plan with 1 bedroom, 1 bath, an impressive open living area with a contemporary kitchen, and a large completely enclosed sitting area outside. This home is not without upscale finishes of its own, some include a custom barn door separating the bedroom from the main space, a frameless glass freestanding shower with custom tilework in the bathroom, a well appointed kitchen with an island, breakfast bar and granite countertops, as well as bright and light French doors leading to your enclosed outdoor space. It also includes a full-size laundry room and offers 2-car tandem covered parking spaces with alley access.
The location is unmatched, with foot traffic from the bustling Safety Harbor Weekend Market, top-rated restaurants like Parts of Paris just next door, and the Safety Harbor Marina steps away. You’re also only three blocks from the renowned Safety Harbor Spa & Resort. Enjoy easy access to the expanded bike trail, which connects Philippe Park to the causeway into Tampa.
With its prime location, modern updates, and historic allure, this property offers a unique blend of old-world charm and modern convenience, just 25 minutes from Tampa Bay’s International Airports and world-famous Gulf beaches. Whether you’re looking to establish a business, create a vacation rental, or simply enjoy downtown living, this historic gem is an opportunity not to be missed. Schedule your private showing today!
