Enjoy sunset views of the Hillsborough River from your oversized front porch (and nearly every room in the house) with this one-of-a-kind custom-built home located directly on Rivercrest Park. One of only a handful of lots in the Tampa Bay area that combines waterfront views with the peace and comfort of living high and dry in Flood Zone X, this beautiful block-construction bungalow maintains the original craftsman charm of the historic neighborhood without sacrificing modern amenities. Built in 2008, this home is move-in ready with smart-home technology, professional kitchen appliances (including a Viking fridge and a Fratelli Onofri gas range), a whole house water filtration system, an electric water heater, industrial-grade flooring, an energy-efficient dual-zone AC system, wall-mounted frame TVs and a Bose surround sound home theatre system. Unique features include a wood-burning fireplace, a spa-like step-down master shower with stone walls and dual shower heads, a second-floor in-law suite complete with coffee bar that could double as the perfect playroom, a breakfast nook and a built-in wet bar off the kitchen, a murphy desk bed in the front room for maximum flexibility, and an oversized 2-car garage with enough room to store all your toys next to the integrated workshop. The park is also undergoing a $1 million+ renovation consisting of a new boardwalk, boat slips, kayak launch and fishing pier, and a 22-mile interconnected pedestrian and bicycle network known as the “Green ARTery” runs right through the neighborhood, connecting you to Armature Works, Tampa Riverwalk and downtown via dedicated bike lanes (not to mention all the Seminole Heights bars and restaurants are reachable without crossing a single intersection). Perfect for those who want to be close to the heart of the city yet still enjoy a quiet and peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of downtown, this highly coveted neighborhood is a dream, complete with jogging path and playground across the street, yoga in the park on the weekends, more Halloween trick-or-treaters than you'll have candy for, and a real sense of community, the heartbeat of which literally lies at your doorstep.
