Modern New Construction in the Heart of Old Seminole Heights 5808 N 16th St, Tampa, FL 33610 A striking single-slope roofline and warm wood-paneled entry announce this thoughtfully reimagined residence in Old Seminole Heights — a 1957 home rebuilt and expanded to 2026 new-construction standards. The result pairs the character of one of Tampa's most established, tree-lined neighborhoods with the systems, finishes, and efficiency of a brand-new home. Beyond the frosted-glass entry door, vaulted ceilings and wide-plank flooring carry through an open, light-filled layout. The kitchen anchors the living space with marble-veined quartz countertops, light color cabinetry, a custom plaster-style range hood, and brushed-gold fixtures that recur as a quiet design thread throughout. Stainless appliances and a gracious island with seating make the space as functional as it is refined. Both bathrooms carry the same restraint and quality: floating wood vanities, glass vessel sinks, backlit LED mirrors, and full-height marble-look tile in the walk-in showers. The primary suite offers a walk-in closet and a spa-inspired dual-vanity bath. Outside, a paver walkway and dual paver driveway with river-rock detailing frame the home, set off by a fully fenced yard, fresh landscaping, and architectural uplighting. A tankless water heater, central air, and all-new construction complete the package. Three bedrooms, two baths — a quiet statement in modern design, move-in ready.
