Welcome to one of the most unique and thoughtfully designed pool homes in the heart of Temple Terrace, just a short walk to Temple Terrace Golf & Country Club and the Recreation Center. From the moment you walk in, the rich Brazilian cherry hardwood floors set the tone for a home that offers both quality and character — a rare find in today’s market.

The kitchen is centrally positioned and well-equipped with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, gas range, wine fridge, and ample cabinetry, seamlessly connecting to the main living areas. The primary suite is a true retreat, featuring dual walk-in closets with custom California Closet systems and a spa-like bathroom finished with floor-to-ceiling slate tile. Throughout the home, there is no carpet, with guest bedrooms offering a combination of travertine and bamboo flooring for a clean and low-maintenance feel. This home also offers exceptional flexibility, including a guest bedroom with a built-in Murphy bed and a beautifully designed home office complete with custom cabinetry, granite workspace, and traditional Japanese sliding doors. Where this home truly stands out is outdoors. The private backyard is designed for entertaining, featuring a large saltwater pool, mature bamboo for added privacy, and a fully paved deck with a custom outdoor kitchen. Equipped with a Big Green Egg, Alfresco gas grill, sink, and keg tap, this space was built for hosting and enjoying Florida living year-round. Major upgrades provide peace of mind, including hurricane impact windows and doors, roof (2022) with transferable warranty, HVAC (2020), gas water heater (2022), fresh exterior paint, and an oversized two-car garage with excellent storage. Located in one of Tampa Bay’s most established and tree-lined communities, Temple Terrace offers golf-cart-friendly streets, access to the Hillsborough River, beautiful parks, and convenient proximity to USF, major hospitals, I-75, downtown Tampa, and Tampa International Airport.
