Absolutely stunning renovation in one of South Tampa’s most historic buildings – The Bayshore Royal. This Bayshore Boulevard studio has been completely transformed into a unique and chic city home and no detail was overlooked. Featuring soaring 10ft ceilings, washed brick accent walls, and impressive imported stacked crown and millwork, this unit feels open and inviting and is sure to impress. The newer glass sliders from Weather-Tite Windows allow tons of natural light to pour into the space, highlighting all of the high-end finishes, including the designer kitchen with Carrera marble countertops, all new cabinetry, open shelving, and wooden breakfast bar with seating. Several elements of the gourmet kitchen were imported from overseas, including the Bertazzoni refrigerator (Italy) and the specialty paella cooktop (Spain). The bedroom space was smartly partitioned from the kitchen and living area with a custom glass-paneled wall, which provides definition to the space without sacrificing the light, airy feel of the home. The balcony is the perfect place to sit and sip your morning cup of coffee or evening glass of wine while enjoying water views of Hillsborough Bay. This is the perfect opportunity to be in the heart of all that South Tampa has to offer and right in the middle of the desirable SOHO district! The unit would be ideal for a student or professional, someone that travels for work, or anyone looking for an incredible investment property...the opportunity to own a piece of Bayshore Blvd. Amazing location just a short distance to wonderful restaurants (including Fresh Kitchen, Bern’s, Bellas, and Ciro’s – the onsite Speakeasy), shopping in Hyde Park Village, 24/7 exercise on Bayshore Boulevard– the world’s longest uninterrupted sidewalk, and a great place to watch the Gasparilla Parades. Finally…a bit of history. Built as an elegant hotel in the mid-1920s, the Bayshore Royal was Bayshore’s first high-rise. It served as Air Force barracks during World War II, hosting ballroom parties for military personnel on its top floor. In the 1950s-60s, it was home to radio station WPKM, which broadcast from the basement. The hotel was gutted in 1973, and its 220 rooms were converted into 90 residences by architect James Deen.
