13202 N 53rd St., Temple Terrace, FL 33617

Minutes from I-75, a short run to USF and Lettuce Lake Park, and still enough ground to lose the sound of traffic under your own trees. This parcel stretches deep off a paved road inside the city limits, a little under an acre of oak and palm canopy with room to place a home far back from the street and keep the frontage wooded. The lot is rectangular and usable end to end, long enough that the back half stays private no matter what goes up in front. Neighboring homes sit on similar acreage with pools and mature landscaping, which tells you what this street supports and what it is worth building toward. Place the house where you want it, not where a tight setback decides for you, and still have ground left for a shop, a garden, or a pool. Bring a builder, bring a plan, or bring patience and hold it. Land this size, this close to the interstate and to Tampa, is not something this corridor makes any more of. The parcels that stay whole are the ones you wish you had moved on a year earlier.
