Walk 2 blocks to Ben Lomond park to play or bicycle 3 min to the Recreation center to cool off in one of their 5 pools! If it’s privacy you crave, sip your favorite beverage on the large screened in back porch with a doggy door for your fur baby and power/cable connections for a tv. This beautiful home offers several extraordinary features like a front door featured in the "Doors of Temple Terrace", a kitchen with induction cook top and convection oven; Brazilian cherry wood floors, two master bedrooms - one downstairs and one upstairs; and a laundry chute. It also includes all the typical amenities like solid wood cabinets/vanities, stainless steel appliances and granite counter tops. The kitchen is open to the family room so the cook can remain part of the action.

The downstairs master has vaulted ceilings, opaque french doors to the en-suite, dual vanities, large shower with opaque window for natural light, and a custom walk-in closet designed to maximize space.
