407 Glen Ridge Avenue, Temple Terrace, FL 33617

Description

Prepare to be charmed from the moment you pull into the brick circular drive. Enter through the front courtyard with the sound of a trickling fountain in the background, then step into the sunroom that leads to subtle archways inviting one into the formal living room…imagine a roaring fire in the fireplace, this feels like home! The peacock tile surround on the fireplace was the logo of Bing and Bing Construction who built many of the Mediterranean Revival style homes in Temple Terrace. Gleaming hardwood floors run throughout the main living areas plus 2 of the bedrooms. Bedroom #3 has tile flooring, an ensuite bath and is split apart from the other bedrooms. The dining room separates the formal living room from the family room and is large enough to accommodate a small breakfast area off the kitchen…or the opportunity to expand the kitchen (kitchens in the Med Revs were customarily small since dining at the club was preferred “back in the day”). French doors open from the dining room to an inviting screened room overlooking a small pond in the rear yard. Another dining area, or a great place to curl up with a book on a lazy afternoon. There’s just enough yard space to keep a gardener happy without becoming an overwhelming chore. This home has many original details in the way of lighting fixtures, wall sconces, woodworking, and flooring. The windows were replaced in 2004, the tile roof in 2009, and the screened room with metal roof was added in 2012. Located only 4 short blocks from the Temple Terrace Golf and Country Club, a great place for a casual lunch, or dinner. Temple Terrace is a golf cart friendly city with tunnels under Bullard Parkway for easy access when golfing, or just going for a spin in the golf cart to visit friends, pick up some groceries, or enjoy a meal away from home. Temple Terrace has an abundance of parks throughout the city, Bonnie Brae Park is only 3 homes away, and Riverhills Park has a public boat ramp for those who might want to paddle up the river or catch a few fish. Also close to schools, the public library, the TT Rec Center, and everything this little city has to offer. Minutes from USF, Moffitt Cancer Center, AdventHealth, the VA hospital, and all the surrounding medical facilities. Easy access to I-75, I-275, I-4 and the Crosstown Expressway. A complimentary 3-month social membership to the TTG&CC is offered to new homeowners.
