About this home
Welcome to one of Temple Terrace’s rare riverfront properties — a sprawling 3,049 sq ft single-story home on an oversized 100x200 lot with wide-open Hillsborough River views and no neighbors behind, only preserved land and wildlife. This is the quiet stretch of the river, benefiting from the river's controlled dam system, which historically keeps water levels stable and flood insurance premiums lower than coastal properties. Inside, the home carries a clean, modern-retro feel with bamboo flooring flowing through the foyer, living, dining, kitchen, family room, and primary suite. A wall of windows draws your eye straight to the river the moment you walk in, creating a backdrop that changes with the light and the wildlife. The split floor plan is ideal for families and for entertaining. The primary suite sits privately on one side of the home with river views, crown molding, a large walk-in closet, and a spacious bath featuring a garden tub, separate shower, dual sinks, and a private water closet with bidet. On the opposite side, two secondary bedrooms share a retro-inspired bath with hexagon mosaic flooring and a pedestal sink. A true guest suite sits toward the back of the home with its own travertine-lined en-suite bath, glass shower, built-in bench, and a new slider leading directly to the pool — perfect for older kids, in-laws, or long-term guests. The kitchen offers granite counters, stainless steel appliances, a wall oven, cooktop, subway tile backsplash, and plenty of prep space. It opens to the main living areas while still keeping the “kitchen mess” tucked out of sight during gatherings. The family room features a built-in electric fireplace with modern tile surround, adding warmth and style. Outdoor living is where this property truly shines. The screened-in pool area offers space for dining, lounging, and enjoying the view. The backyard is fully fenced, flat, and expansive — a rare find in this area. At the water’s edge, a screened pavilion provides a shaded, usable bonus space for relaxing by the river, hosting friends, or setting up a fire-pit and lounge area. A small dock makes it easy to launch a kayak and explore the quietest part of the Hillsborough River. Additional features include: oversized driveway, 2-car garage, RV plug (240/400 amp), indoor laundry room with sink, electric fireplace, no HOA, and a neighborhood known for its golf-cart lifestyle. Just minutes to USF, MOSI, Riverhills Park, Temple Terrace Golf & Country Club, shopping, dining, and medical facilities. Homes with this combination of space, privacy, and riverfront living rarely come available. If you’ve been searching for a serene waterfront property with room to spread out — without the maintenance concerns of saltwater living — this is the one to see....
