Looking for a slice of history? This mid-century modern/ranch sits on an oak shaded site that is over .8 acres (124 x 305), has beautiful terrazzo floors, and is filled with many original features that will delight the purest. The sunken living room and smaller dining area, currently used as a bar, have a wall of windows overlooking the private, heavily wooded, fenced rear yard. A covered patio runs along the rear of the home giving the windows shelter from even the most driving rain, for those who enjoy opening the windows to enjoy a storm, or just a nice spring breeze. This home was built to take advantage of cross ventilation and bring the outdoors in. The primary bedroom suite is more than generous in size and has a shower bath with a separate vanity area and access to the rear yard. There is also a half bath off the laundry room that has access from the rear yard…handy for dirty gardeners, and certainly it will be a gardener who falls in love with this home and garden. These bathrooms are especially handy if one wishes to add a pool in the future. The kitchen opens to what is now used as a huge dining room, but could be repurposed as a family room, depending on one’s needs. Step out of the dining room to an oversized flagstone covered patio for protected outdoor gatherings and dining. The 2-car carport has a workshop/storage room with double doors to allow even the largest of projects into the workspace. HVAC was just replaced 3-2024 and there is a well for irrigation. Temple Terrace is a golfing community that allows golf carts on the city streets and even has tunnels beneath Bullard Parkway for golfers, cyclists, and pedestrians! The TTG&CC is a short golf cart ride away and offers a 3-month social membership to new Temple Terrace homeowners. The Temple Terrace Recreation Center is only a few blocks away and offers a variety of affordable membership levels. The Rec Center has a myriad of exercise classes, racket ball, pickle ball and separate swimming pools for adults and children, lap swimmers and loungers. Temple Terrace is centrally located with easy access to I-75, I-275, I-4 & the Crosstown for those who must commute. Only minutes from USF, the VA Hospital, Advent Health, and all the surrounding medical facilities.
