Welcome to your historic cottage nestled under grand oaks in Tampa's friendliest neighborhood, Seminole Heights! While it is cozy, there is nothing small about this home. With an Owner's Suite measuring just under 300 square feet and 2 additional and ample bedrooms, you'll have all of the space you need for hobbies and guests. Walking up to this classic home, you'll notice a Little Free Library encouraging community and the love of reading. Books and a cozy cottage? What a perfect combination! The Little Library is only eclipsed by the stunning front door freshly painted "Lobster Blue" and inviting you to come closer. Sit a spell on the comfortable front porch, also freshly painted, and enjoy the dappled light as you admire the majestic oak in the front yard. Imagine many good mornings or good nights here with your favorite beverage. As you walk through your cute as a button blue and crystal door, you immediately enter the living area and notice the abundance of sunlight pouring through the windows. Your thoroughly modern and bright kitchen is up ahead with all stainless steel appliances, including a brand new dishwasher and range/oven topped with a sleek, stainless steel hood; granite countertops and Shaker style wooden cabinets for plenty of storage. The oversized dining room comfortably accommodates all of your guests and family and you'll find the indoor laundry room tucked away adjacent to the dining area behind a natural wooden barn door. Full size washer and dryer are stored here with additional cabinets for all of your laundering products and needs. We return to the opposite side of the home and find an original, built-in linen closet and a second full bathroom with granite countertops and a beautifully tiled shower with iridescent blue accents. Also off the hallway, you'll come to the second bedroom at the front of the home and your amazing Owner's Suite towards the back. While the size of the primary bedroom is astounding, the amount of sunlight is absolutely gorgeous! Not only will your boudoir accommodate a king size bed but a generous sitting area, a library or even an office could comfortably be carved out here. The ensuite bathroom, also behind a charming barn door, has a lovely granite tile shower with a rain shower head, a granite-topped vanity and open shelving. Once your tour of the indoors of this roomy yet warm home concludes, you'll be delighted to step out onto the sunny back deck and discover a mature avocado tree and other mature trees and plants. A wooden workshop with electricity, for your tinkering and gardening tools, sits near the back of your fully fenced large yard. There are several spots to sit and enjoy the afternoon sun or to build a fire pit for evenings in. This cottage home big on size and charm is located only a few blocks from Hillsborough River-front Patterson Park, the famous neighborhood restaurant, The Corner Club (known for its live music and welcoming vibe), a short drive to the area's premier Zoo Tampa and to Downtown Tampa and the Riverwalk. You'll never want for outdoor and neighborhood activities in Seminole Heights. The grand oaks, the Hillsborough River, its many craft breweries, foody spots and all-around warm neighbors will make this cottage feel like a true home. Schedule a private showing soon! Homes like this one don't last long in Tampa's most vibrant neighborhood!
