408 BERWICK AVENUE TEMPLE TERRACE FL 33617 MLS #TB8528310

SURROUND YOURSELF WITH AMENITIES AT A PRICE MORE AFFORDABLE THAN OTHERS! On nearly 1/4 acre, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath, mid-century modern home puts you so close to so many advantages of Temple Terrace: parks and recreation, multicultural restaurants and shops big or small, quality schools and services, century-old private golf club, and public boat launches to the Hillsborough River. In a neighborhood near many more expensive and elegant homes, this gem lives larger than 1,530 SF thanks to expansions including a screened lanai overlooking the fenced back yard. That yard features a sturdy block shed, a raised-bed garden beside a small greenhouse, a homemade chicken coop, and a koi pond with scores of third-generation fish. Plants range from Mexican petunias, Key Lime, crepe myrtles and banana trees to bromeliads, bougainvillea, plumeria and medicinal moringa trees. Inside you’ll find recent improvements such as a 2026 water heater, new kitchen cabinets and stone counters, a renovated bathroom with decorator tile, refinished terrazzo floors, and fresh paint. The separate-entry side family room with second bathroom and laundry could work alternatively as a home office or additional resident space. No HOA fees or rules here, so you can park your boat or work truck in the substantial front carport or along the curved driveway. This property is just a few blocks from Riverhills Elementary and the waterfront Riverhills Park, which offers a concrete boat ramp, boardwalk pier, fishing, birding, picnic area, playground, restrooms and shelters. Despite your proximity to the river, meanwhile, you’re outside the flood zone. The University of South Florida and Florida College are nearby, of course, and you’ll love Temple Terrace’s “leisure network” that spans 2 nature preserves, 2 recreation centers, 3 athletic complexes, 3 tennis facilities, 5 swimming pools, and 19 parks.
