The garage also has another large space off to the right that could be large workshop or easily walled off for many other uses. Let's talk location: This tranquil waterfront community is 8 minutes from Tampa international airport and International Mall, a quick 5 minute boat ride out to Tampa Bay, and 15 minutes from all the action of downtown Tampa and Raymond James Stadium.

What is negotiable on this home?

Here is what this listing's numbers say about the builder's position.

• On the market 173 daysWorth knowing

  Past the 90-day mark is where most builders start getting more flexible on concessions, even while holding the published price.

• Reduced $50,000 (2%)Worth knowing

  Originally listed at $2,800,000. A builder that has already cut once has acknowledged the first number did not work. That is a different conversation than one who has never moved.

• Finished and standingWorth knowing

  A completed home with a Certificate of Occupancy is inventory, not a future sale. Builders treat standing inventory very differently from a lot they have not broken ground on.
