One of the smallest homes on the market in Tampa Bay also comes with a big price tag.

Located in Indian Rocks Beach, at 960 Gulf Blvd. Apt. 5, the 480-square-foot cottage was built in 1948 and along with the other nearby units, was once part of the long-gone Sea Wolf Motel complex.

Today, the cottage comes with one bedroom and one bathroom, as well as an "open dining room and kitchen combo," says the listing. It also features a new washer and dryer, a beach-facing back porch, a newer A/C unit, and is currently generating $95k per year in rental revenue, according to the sellers.

Property records show the home was last purchased in 2018 for $547,000. The home is now asking $1,050,000, and the listing agents are Jeffrey Borham and Jake Hampton of EXP Realty.

On a related note, if super small, beach-adjacent homes are your thing, there's actually just one other sub 500-square-foot home currently on the market in all of Pinellas County, and it comes with a significantly smaller $425K price tag.
