1511 S Bay Villa Pl #1-2, Tampa, FL 33629

Nestled into downtown Tampa's desirable SoHo, Hyde Park and Bayshore Boulevard neighborhoods is a contemporary architectural gem called Bay Villa Townhomes. Winner of the AIA Tampa Bay Award in 1978, Bay Villa was designed by John Howey, FAIA, architect and author of The Sarasota School of Architecture. This unique end-unit townhome was built specially for the architect's family, and remains intact. You will love the 10' to 14' vaulted ceilings, 10' sliding walls of glass, custom built-ins, clerestory windows and a loft, perfect for an artist, architect or your home office. Fine Brazilian walnut floors in the living, dining kitchen and entrance areas. There are 2.5 baths and 2 - 4 bedrooms, depending on how you use this flexible floor plan. The attached one-car garage is over-sized and includes room for laundry and storage or workshop, and there is a space for one more car onsite. Stroll to Bayshore Blvd with 4.5 miles of scenic bay and city views and you will see runners, bicyclists, and many happy people. Stroll to Hyde Park and SoHo, and enjoy numerous fine restaurants, cafes and boutiques. Major improvements are being made to this neighborhood's infrastructure and streets at this time, so pardon the dust. And great to know - this property is NOT in a flood zone
