***Multiple Offers*** Highest and Best by 7:00 p.m. 9/26/2021. There are very few homes in Tampa Bay built in the early 1900’s. This rare 1900 Tampa Heights charmer was gutted, reconfigured as an open floor plan and put back together with all the upgrades in 2015. It is literally Brand New in vintage clothes! Your first impression is of original clapboard siding, original double-hung windows, a darling dormer on the second floor and the welcoming full-width front porch. Ross is an original trolley-car street so it is one of the neighborhood’s widest and most popular streets. You’ll want to sit outside and meet your neighbors as they walk and ride by on their way to Armature Works, the Riverwalk or to one of the many neighborhood restaurants and breweries. Not seen, but important to note, is that the structure was completely reinforced with the remodel. Inside you will see that there was diligent time and effort that went into this restoration as well. It was not a quick rehab flip! The restoration included an eye for detail as it includes period-specific baseboards, crown molding and window/door frames. All this combined with the original hand-carved newel post creates that magical feeling of vintage. Updated for today's lifestyle, the open floor plan creates amazing space as you walk into the home. The original foyer now provides access to the den/office, great room, dining room and master bedroom. The chef's dream of a kitchen includes a breakfast nook overlooking the backyard, coffee bar with a built-in wine fridge and direct access to a ½ bath and laundry room (includes washer, dryer and freezer). All appliances were upgraded in 2017 to Kitchen aid stainless-steel appliances including the downdraft range. Upstairs (also remodeled) are two adorable bedrooms with a jack and jill bath sporting a vintage clawfoot tub (cuteness alert!). The privacy-fenced back yard is a canvas ready for your gardening ideas. Need a place for your tools? The storage shed was recently built to match the home and is perfect for those yard items, but also makes a perfect workout space. No matter your lifestyle, this darling home will suit a buyer looking for charm and convenience. Now let’s take a walk! It’s only ½ mile to Armature Works, Ulele and the Riverwalk. 1 mile to Ybor and downtown Tampa, 1 ½ miles to Channelside and most importantly it’s only 3 ½ blocks to Lee’s Grocery. This author's favorite pizza. Come be our new neighbor!
