This 1926 Temple Terrace Mediterranean Revival is another little gem soaked in history. Owned by the same family for over 60 years it has been well maintained, but is very original (in a good way) and now awaits the loving hands of its next person.A gracious foyer with angled staircase welcomes you into the formal living area featuring a charming corner fireplace with an inlaid peacock above the mantel, the logo for Bing and Bing Construction, the builder of the original Temple Terrace Med Rev's. French doors lead to an L-shaped sunroom filled with light, inviting one to curl up with a book and relax, it also allows wonderful cross ventilation on those milder Florida days...it would also be a great indoor greenhouse. The kitchen is bright and opens to the dining room over a serving bar and also has a small breakfast area with a built in banquette. Rich hardwood floors throughout the living area, vintage tile in the bathrooms, heavily textured plaster walls and lovely arches with detailed wood accents are only a few of the features of this home that are difficult to find in newer homes. Not included in the square footage is a detached garage and guest cottage with a full bath, originally the maid's quarters back in the day, it would be an ideal studio, home office or simply a great place to store guests. This location is convenient to shopping, schools, the library, restaurants and entertainment, a great home for someone who doesn't care to drive.
