Finding a 4-bedroom home under $300k that doesn’t 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, it’s not because of the home itself—it’s 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): * It’s a classic Florida block home. It doesn't have the "curb appeal" of a $500k new build, but it’s 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: It’s an established, quiet area. It’s 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 space—not 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 you’re a young family, you need the extra rooms. If you’re a single professional, you finally have a dedicated office and a guest room that isn’t also your gym. * Modern Kitchen & Baths: Updated in 2022 with granite counters, solid wood cabinets, and clean finishes. It’s move-in ready from day one. * Safety & Savings: It’s 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 you’re heading to Clearwater for the weekend or commuting to Tampa for work, you’re positioned for an easy in, easy out drive. If you’re tired of looking at "fixer-uppers" that are priced like palaces, come see this house It’s a solid, updated, spacious house that just needs a human to move in and call it home.
