Welcome to your new home in Forest Hills! This 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home offers 1,262 sq. ft. of living space on an amazing ½-acre lot shaded by beautiful, mature oak trees. A true diamond in the rough, this property is full of potential and ready for you to transform into your dream home! Inside, you’re greeted by a sun-filled living room with gleaming laminate floors that flow seamlessly into the dining area — an inviting space for everyday living and entertaining. French doors open to the patio, creating a natural transition to outdoor living, ideal for hosting, gardening, or simply enjoying the serene, park-like setting. The kitchen includes a convenient bar for extra seating, while a perfectly placed window frames views of the amazing backyard. Just off the kitchen, a large laundry room provides plenty of storage and added functionality. The primary bedroom features a private bathroom and spacious closets. Warm hardwood floors make it a cozy retreat where you can relax after a long day. Each of the additional bedrooms also offers hardwood floors and generous closets, creating flexible spaces for family, guests, or a home office. The bathrooms still have the vintage tile work that allow you to integrate the original character with your own modernized features. The expansive backyard is more than large enough to add an ADU or casita — the perfect opportunity for an income-producing rental, guest house, or private in-law suite. The location is hard to beat — just a short walk to Babe Zaharias Golf Course with its Pro Shop, Clubhouse Restaurant, and community events. You’re also minutes from Busch Gardens, Lettuce Lake Park, ZooTampa, USF, and just a quick drive to Downtown Tampa. Don’t miss this opportunity to make a Forest Hills gem your own.
