Old Florida charm meets a peaceful, country-like setting just over the Tampa city line. An affordable opportunity for a first-time home buyer with direct access to desirable school districts and a $7,500 seller contribution toward buyer closing costs. This adorable 2-bedroom, 1-bath home with a bonus walk-through room is tucked away on a quiet dead-end street and set on over a quarter-acre lot. The interior has been refreshed with newer vinyl plank flooring, updated kitchen finishes, newer appliances, newer washer and dryer, and a newer roof. Eight-foot ceilings and central air add to the home's everyday comfort. Step outside to a large fenced yard with a concrete patio and storage shed, offering plenty of room for furry friends, chickens, outdoor activities, gardening or simply enjoying a little more breathing room than you typically find in a suburban neighborhood. The home retains the character of a cottage along with some of its original quirks and charm. Enjoy the tranquility while remaining just minutes from schools, everyday conveniences, major roadways, dining, parks and just a few minutes walk to Upper Tampa Bay trail. A little Old Florida, a little countryall in Odessa. Schedule your showing today!
Citrus Park Community, located between Veterans Expressway and the Upper Tampa Bay Trail, is a suburban and retail-forward Citrus Park neighborhood with a mall-centered core and a network of ponds and greenways. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Westfield Citrus Park area at Citrus Park Drive and Gunn Highway, where big-box storefronts, casual eateries, and steady weekend foot traffic set the tempo. Nearby, the Upper Tampa Bay Trail frames daily routines with long, shaded stretches for cycling and walking. Housing reads as late-20th-century subdivisions and newer townhome pockets, with wide streets and mature landscaping. Carrollwood Day School and the Citrus Park Sports Complex add a civic, activity-based rhythm. Lake Park and local preserves keep the landscape open and breezy.

Great Investment property or for first time buyer that is not afraid of putting in some elbow grease. Home needs TLC but in a great location close to Citrus Park Mall and just down the street from Sickles High School. Large spacious yard has room enough for a boat or RV. Drain field was replaced about 6-8 years ago per seller. Lot of potential with this cute little home. No HOA or CDD's to contend with. Just peace and quiet.
