Description

Mid-Century Modern Home in Temple Terrace Estates! With its mono-pitched roof lines, tons of windows, parquet floors, tongue and groove paneling, and "exposed beams," this property is the textbook definition of a mid-century modern home. Many updates have been done but the property retains much of its mid-century character. Just inside the front door, a partial wall of cabinets, typical of mid-century architecture, creates different depths and provides storage. Parquet floors flow through the Living Room and throughout nearly the entire home and the focal points of the Living Room are the large bank of windows and decorative Fireplace. The Fireplace was capped off when the roof was replaced in 2012 but it could be restored with some effort. Additional features in the Living Room include soaring cathedral ceilings with "exposed beams" and transom windows. The Kitchen was apparently updated some years ago but it is unclear just when the updates were done. The Kitchen is spacious and includes tons of cabinet space. A hallway door separates the 3 Bedrooms and the Bathroom from the common living areas of the home, creating a little lobby area in the hallway that was once used as a telephone niche. The Bathroom appears to have been updated some years ago but the colorful tile helps to retain some of its "retro" vibe. The Florida Room is listed as finished storage on the public record and is home to the washer and dryer hookups. Apparently, this space was updated, years ago, with the prospect of adding a second Bathroom in mind. The home is situated on a nicely xeriscaped lot with a large, fenced backyard. Located in the golf and country club community of Temple Terrace Estates, this home enjoys excellent proximity to schools and libraries, restaurants and shopping, parks and playgrounds, as well as other amenities. A City Playground is literally across the street and one lot away! The sellers have never occupied the home but, based on permit records on the City's website, the roof is thought to have been replaced in 2012 and the A/C replaced in 2016. It is also believed that the plumbing and electricity were updated over the years. Better hurry! A home that has been this well maintained, in this area and in this price range, will not last long.
