Welcome home to this meticulously maintained gem - 1,689 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space set on a generous half-acre lot that immediately feels like a retreat from the world.Step through the enclosed porch and into a home that wraps you in warmth from the moment you arrive. Freshly painted in 2026, this two-bedroom, two-bathroom home with a bonus room glows with character, its rich hardwood floors stretching through most rooms and inviting you to slow down and stay awhile. And you will fall in love. Rest easy knowing this home was completely gutted and rebuilt in 2014 - roof, HVAC, and water heater all replaced - giving you the soul of a charming, established home with the bones of a new one. Peace of mind doesn't get better than this. The kitchen is pure joy for anyone who loves to cook. A gas range, stainless steel double oven (2016), stainless steel refrigerator (2018), dishwasher (2021), garbage disposal (2024), and beautiful Corian countertops make every meal an occasion. Step through the kitchen door - fitted with elegant internal blinds - onto the patio, where the expansive fenced backyard becomes your personal sanctuary. Whether it's a quiet morning coffee or a long exhale at the end of a hard day, this outdoor space delivers exactly the tranquility you've been looking for. Every inch of this home works. A built-in desk nook sits just outside the bonus room, perfect for a home office, creative space, or reading corner. A dedicated storage room off the living room keeps life organized and clutter-free. And the oversized primary bedroom, complete with a private en suite bathroom and spacious walk-in closet, is the kind of retreat you'll never want to leave. The location is the final flourish. Nestled in sought-after Temple Terrace, you're minutes from the University of South Florida, Busch Gardens, hospitals, shopping, vibrant dining, and major highways, including I-75 and I-275. Yet step outside, and all you hear is birdsong through the mature trees and impeccable landscaping that frame this serene, private setting. Homes like this in Temple Terrace are a rare find. Don't let this one pass you by.
