Finding a 4 bedroom home under $300k that doesnt require a weekend at the hardware store is becoming nearly impossible. 4627 Tropical Lane is the exception. While this house has been on the market for six months, its not because of the home itselfits because people often overlook the value of buying a first home that may not fit their definition of my dream. In a market where buyers are easily distracted by fancy staging, this house has been sitting cozy and quiet, waiting for someone who realizes that a brand new roof (Jan 2025) and a 2022 HVAC system are worth far more than a garage or a formal dining room. The "Negatives" (And Why You Should Actually Love Them): * Its a classic Florida block home. It doesn't have the "curb appeal" of a $500k new build, but its built to last and comes with zero HOA rules. You can park your boat, trailer, or work truck here without getting a nasty letter in the mail and it has withstood the test of Florida storms. * The Neighborhood: Its an established, quiet area. Its not a gated community with a resort pool, but that also means you aren't paying $400 a month in fees. The Reality: Inside, the heavy lifting is done. You get 1,520 square feet of actual living spacenot a cramped 2 bedroom masquerading as a family home. New vinyl flooring. New lighting. New electric panel. Google nest with alarm. Dedicated laundry room WITH 2022 washer and dryer. * Four True Bedrooms: If youre a young family, you need the extra rooms. If youre a single professional, you finally have a dedicated office and a guest room that isnt also your gym. * Modern Kitchen & Baths: Updated in 2022 with granite counters, solid wood cabinets, and clean finishes. Its move in ready from day one. * Safety & Savings: Its in a No Flood Zone (Zone X). Between the new roof and the lack of flood insurance requirements, your monthly carry cost here is significantly lower. The Commute: You are minutes from US 19. Whether youre heading to Clearwater for the weekend or commuting to Tampa for work, youre positioned for an easy in, easy out drive. If youre tired of looking at "fixer uppers" that are priced like palaces, come see this house Its a solid, updated, spacious house that just needs a human to move in and call it home.
