A touch of old Florida lives in this 3/2 mid-century modern across the street from the Hillsborough River with nearby parks, playgrounds and schools. Riverhills Park public boat ramp leads to many adventures for the kayak, canoe or motor boat enthusiast. Natural light fills this home and the shining terrazzo floors are cool under foot + spell ease in maintenance. A vintage decorative textured brick accent wall is a nice focal point in the living room. New cabinetry and appliances enhance the galley kitchen-a step saver with loads of counter space. Adjoining laundry room w/ outside access door and a closet that could easily be a walk-in pantry. Master bedroom features a walk-in closet and an adjoining bath with new fixtures & white subway tile…the 2nd bath is vintage baby blue. This home is entered through a covered private courtyard and carport with decorative cut block walls, so very 1950’s! The 17’x15’ courtyard is a sheltered spot for outdoor dining and entertaining with a large storage closet to stow away the grill and yard equipment (carport area not included in courtyard dimensions). Shaded by grandfather oaks the backyard needs only one short section of fence to be fully fenced…in case one has pets that need to be secured. This home is move-in ready! Located only minutes from USF, the VA, Florida Hospital and all the surrounding medical facilities with easy access to I-75, I-4, I-275 & the Crosstown. Ask about the complimentary 3 month membership at the Temple Terrace Golf & Country Club.

Short Sale. This smaller home is in a wonderful neighborhood and located directly across the street from the Hillsborough River. It is surrounded by larger homes of greater value creating an opportunity for expansion, the potential to tear down and rebuild as has been done on several of the nearby properties. .. or simply clean, paint and move in. Terrazzo floors throughout the home and a decorative textured brick accent wall in the living room. Large 17'x 15' side courtyard with a vintage cut block privacy wall is just outside the living room and would make an ideal sheltered outdoor dining and entertainment area. .. dimensions do not include the abutting carport area with a storage closet for garden supplies. Master bedroom with private bath and walk-in closet. The fenced rear yard is sheltered by beautiful oak trees. Convenient location close to schools, parks, the new Temple Terrace Downtown Redevelopment area and the Riverhills boat launch. This home needs some love but the work will be well rewarded.
