Property Description:
This 1,420 sq ft 3-bed, 2-bath block home sits on a 9,310 sq ft lot in Tampa’s Forest Hills area, backing to the golf course. Built in 1956, the property has a carport, a straightforward mid-century floor plan, and a reported roof (approx. 7 years old) and HVAC (approx. 4 years old) already in place.
The interior is dated and in need of a full cosmetic renovation, including new paint, flooring, kitchen and bath remodels, and fixture replacements. While the mechanicals appear serviceable, buyers should verify the age and condition of plumbing and electrical. Landscaping and exterior cleanup will enhance curb appeal, and with the roof and HVAC already handled, focus will be on modernizing finishes.

✅ ARV Conclusion
Comps range from $261–$352 per sq ft, with updated homes pushing the higher end. Given the subject’s golf-course location and solid size:
- Likely ARV: ~$430,000–$465,000 (at $300–325/sq ft with cosmetic rehab)
- High-End ARV: ~$485,000+ (if finished to a higher standard and curb appeal maximized)
At the current asking price of $299,000, this property provides a strong margin for a cosmetic renovation, with roof and HVAC costs largely off the table and upside in bringing the interior to modern standards.
