321 ROOSEVELT AVENUE

Do you have a passion for restoring old homes? Have you seen every episode of Fixer Upper? Do you swear by the wisdom of Bob Vila? If the answer to any of that was even close to, ''Eh, maybe,'', then we have just the home for all you handy folks out there! How would you like to restore a home that was originally built back when Lindbergh first crossed the Atlantic? This 2 bed, 1 bath home in Masaryktown was built in 1927. It sits on a gorgeous 0.4 acre corner lot in a community with tennis and basketball courts, as well as a park. We know the phrase, ''good bones,'' gets tossed around frequently in real estate, but this little nugget could truly be shined up into a gem with the right amount of elbow grease (and drywall, flooring, and basic appliances). Upstairs on the 2nd floor, there is space for a large attic, a loft, or perhaps a beautiful bedroom suite. There is also a modest basement or root cellar below the ground level. The house does have central A/C; there is also a 2-car carport and oversized storage shed in the back. If the thought of this much renovation makes you want to curl up in the fetal position and sob uncontrollably, we'd like to point out that this lot is absolutely lovely and would make an excellent spot for the brand-new home of your dreams. Masaryktown is less than 10 miles away from the charm of downtown Brooksville with its quaint brick streets, mom-and-pop shops, and restaurants. It's also located just off US-41 and only minutes away from the Suncoast Pkwy for easy access to Tampa, the airport, beaches, and other amenities. This is without a doubt a home that needs a restorative touch, so come all you investors and DIY-ers!
