<LAST PRICE REDUCTION><HIGHEST & BEST BY 2/23/2026> Rare opportunity in one of Temple Terrace’s most desirable and established neighborhoods. This 4-bedroom, 2-bath home with a pool is priced aggressively and offers exceptional upside for an investor or a savvy buyer looking to renovate and add value in a high-demand area. Surrounded by mature trees and lush greenery, the property sits on a spacious lot in a quiet residential setting just minutes from USF, major roadways, shopping, dining, and downtown Tampa.
The exterior delivers classic curb appeal with a wide driveway, attached garage, and a private backyard designed for true Florida living. Outdoor features include a screened patio, brick entertaining area, and a sparkling pool, creating an ideal space for entertaining, relaxing, or everyday enjoyment with excellent privacy and flexibility. The home also features a wood burning fireplace on the lower level of the house in the family room.
Inside, the home offers a functional layout with a kitchen that opens to the main living and dining areas, featuring ample cabinetry, generous counter space, tiled flooring throughout, and large windows that bring in abundant natural light. The open flow provides a comfortable living environment while offering a strong canvas for updates and personalization.

Major updates include a roof that is only one year old, with plumbing, electrical, and water heater in good working order. The AC outdoor condenser is not operational. With just a bit of TLC, this is a standout opportunity to create value in one of Temple Terrace’s most sought-after neighborhoods— a rare chance to acquire a pool home with strong bones, a newer roof, and unlimited potential in a market where properties like this are rarely offered at an aggressive price point.
