Temple Terrace Gem – Turnkey on Nearly Half an Acre | Near USF | No HOA | Not in Flood Zone
Welcome to 12308 N 53rd Street, a fully remodeled 3-bedroom, 2-bath home situated on an oversized 0.43-acre fully fenced lot in the heart of Temple Terrace. Offering space, privacy, and flexibility, this move-in-ready residence combines modern updates with a prime location near USF and major Tampa conveniences.
The home features approximately 1,150 square feet of heated living space with porcelain and ceramic tile flooring throughout. The open-concept layout connects the living and dining areas to the remodeled kitchen (2022), complete with hardwood cabinetry, granite countertops, and stainless-steel appliances.
The primary suite includes dual closets and a spa-inspired bathroom with double vanities, a Jacuzzi soaking tub, and a glass-enclosed shower. Two additional bedrooms provide flexibility for guests, workspace, or everyday living. The second bathroom is updated with a modern vanity and tiled glass-enclosed shower.
Extensive improvements provide long-term peace of mind, including a 2021 roof with GAF lifetime warranty, HVAC system (2022), updated electrical and plumbing (2022), new ductwork, tankless water heater, new septic system, and updated exterior stucco and doors (2022).
The expansive backyard showcases mature shade trees and fruit trees including banana, lemon, lime, peach, plum, and avocado. There is ample room to add a pool, create a large garden, establish a homestead-style retreat, or expand outdoor living areas. The property also offers space for recreational vehicle or boat parking.
A 16x22 detached TUFF SHED with electricity and windows provides versatile bonus space ideal for a home office, gym, workshop, or studio.
The covered outdoor kitchen and bar area includes lighting, fans, refrigerator, grill, and TV hookup, creating a functional setting for year-round Florida living and entertaining.
Located minutes from the University of South Florida, this property benefits from proximity to ongoing area enhancements, including the future USF on-campus football stadium and the planned Fletcher District mixed-use development featuring residential, retail, dining, and academic space. Convenient access to I-275, Moffitt Cancer Center, VA Hospital, MOSI, Downtown Tampa, and Gulf Coast beaches further enhances its appeal.
A rare opportunity to own a remodeled home on nearly half an acre in a centrally located Temple Terrace setting.
The 3rd and smallest incorporated municipality in Hillsborough County, Temple Terrace is known for its rolling landscape and massive oak trees. In fact, Temple Terrace has the most Grand Sand Live Oak trees in central Florida and is a Tree City USA as designated by the Arbor Day Foundation.
