Storybook Cottage in Historic Riverside Heights
Step into this rustic yet refined curated cottage and discover your dream retreat. This property features a 2/2 main house and includes a separate dwelling with a full bathroom. Gleaming oak hardwood nail down plank floors in perfect condition, framed by custom baseboards and crown molding, set the tone for the exquisite details throughout this home. Every room has been touched with tasteful updates.
The giant open living room invites you in with custom shelving and a huge coat closet featuring pull-out drawer storage.
The remodeled kitchen is a modern chef's delight, boasting new soft-close cabinets with custom pulls, wonderful matte-black granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and range hood with a bright double window over the undermount sink. The custom curated backsplash tiles and light pendant fixtures add a touch of elegance, while the double oven and flat top cook surface ensure functionality.
The beautiful dining room features custom black and gold-speck granite storage built-in, complemented by two closets with French doors and oak plank floors, perfect for intimate dinners or entertaining guests. The Hardie board siding enhances the cottage's charming exterior, while the recently added bungalow-style front porch with beautiful composite wood planks and new awnings offers a picturesque spot to relax.
The main bedroom is plenty large enough for a king-sized bed with additional room for dressers, a reading chair or a wardrobe. The closet doors are actual hotel room doors salvaged from the famous Belleview Blitmore Hotel.
The primary bathroom has been gutted and remodeled to perfection, featuring a new stone vanity, a shower enclosure with glass doors, mosaic tile, custom storage, and custom light fixtures. The second interior bath is equally stunning, with basketweave marble tile floor and subway mosaic tile in the shower combinations, a custom shower head and railings, a soap nook, a custom black wood vanity with a stone counter, an undermount sink, and a designer mirror.
Outside, the vinyl fence ensures privacy, while the backyard firepit and hardscape pavers create a peaceful retreat for gatherings under the stars just steps from the dining room. The new roof (2022) adds to the move-in-ready appeal of this home.
Additionally, the guest house/studio room offers a super open space with a full bathroom and room for a kitchenette, making it perfect for visitors, a work-from-home office, or potential rental income.
Nestled in the desirable Historic Riverside Heights across the street from the Hillsborough River, this cottage is super close to parks, the Riverwalk, downtown, Armature Works, the interstate, the airport, and shopping. Don't miss your chance to own this sun-filled, picturesque, and cozy home in a sought-after location.
