This quaint and restored Mediterranean Revival-style home was built in 1926 and designed by Dwight James Baum, who created John Ringling's lavish Ca' d'Zan palace in Sarasota in the early 1920s, along with 42 homes in Temple Terrace's golf-course community. Featuring beautiful Saltillo tile entries, both original oak and heartwood pine throughout, with tile in the baths. This split floor plan shotgun layout is move-in ready! Large Brittany style windows and tall ceilings add a sense of airiness to the home and provide an abundance of natural light. The expanded three-point kitchen includes a kitchenette, modern cabinets, stainless steel appliances and an overhead range hood. The center of the home contains a cozy dining and living room with a functional fireplace opens through French doors to an expansive deck overlooking the spacious, fenced rear yard.
