Virtually Staged. Welcome to a beautifully crafted Key West-style cottage in the heart of Historic Tampa Heights, where timeless architectural character meets modern comfort. Custom built in 2021, this distinctive 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence offers thoughtful design, quality finishes, and inviting indoor-outdoor living in one of Tampa's most established urban neighborhoods. From the moment you arrive, the home makes a lasting impression. Set along a historic brick-paved street with minimal through traffic, the property features an oversized front porch that immediately captures the relaxed character of the home. It's an inviting place to enjoy your morning coffee, unwind in the evening, or simply take in the neighborhood. Inside, an arched entry door opens to a light-filled interior with high ceilings, tall windows, custom wood trim, oversized baseboards, designer fixtures, and engineered hardwood flooring throughout. Natural slate accents add texture and character, while the carefully selected finishes create a cohesive feel that is anything but cookie-cutter. At the heart of the home, the open great room provides a comfortable space for everyday living and entertaining. The well-appointed kitchen features a gas range with downdraft exhaust and opens directly to the main living area. Just off the kitchen, the spacious laundry room combines function and style with custom cabinetry and natural slate flooring. The private primary suite is positioned at the rear of the home, creating a peaceful retreat away from the main living spaces. Its distinctive en-suite bath and large walk-in closet add both character and convenience. Two additional bedrooms and a second full bath provide flexibility for guests, a home office, or other needs. The backyard extends the living space outdoors, with a generous rear porch and room to enjoy Florida's year-round outdoor lifestyle. A gas fire bowl provides a natural gathering spot on cooler evenings, while the yard offers additional space for relaxing and entertaining. The location puts some of Tampa's most popular destinations within easy reach, including Armature Works, the Tampa Riverwalk, neighborhood parks, Downtown Tampa, Water Street, Channelside, and Ybor City. Tampa International Airport is approximately 20 minutes away. With its distinctive architectural details, newer construction, thoughtful floor plan, and highly convenient Tampa Heights location, this home offers a rare opportunity to enjoy the character of a cottage with the comfort and functionality of a 2021 build. Furnishings are negotiable. There is no HOA or CDD.
