This light and bright home features a welcoming front entrance with a flowing, open concept floorplan. The living room, dining room and kitchen all seemlessly connect to form the central hub of the home. Your great kitchen has custom hickory solid wood cabinetry and a beautiful bay window overlooking the pool with ample room for an eat in kitchen area. Stainless steel appliances (with the range and dishwasher both being brand new) and an island with sink overlooking the family area allow you to remain part of the festivities when hosting family and friends. The vaulted ceilings and access to the outdoors make it feel even larger than its 2023 square feet. You will absolutely love your sprawling, screened lanai with private pool out back overlooking a bountiful green natural backdrop. Other features include an oversized Master bedroom with crown molding and a walk in closet. Your very large ensuite Master bath has dual sinks, a jetted spa bath, and a separate shower stall. There are two additional bedrooms by the guest bathroom, and extra closet storage throughout. You also have an oversized 2 car garage and plenty of land to build additional structures or stalls on if desired. Campers, boats, canoes, kayaks, jet skis, ATVs, golf carts, horses, livestock, you name it....all are welcome! The pool is saltwater and has a gas heater so you can swim year round. The A/C system was replaced in 2018, and the hot water heater is a tankless, on demand system with a 250 gal propane tank on site. The home is on well and septic, so no water bill! Internet is available through DSL and streaming services are available, so you can work from home or vacation here with no worries. With the sportsmen and nature lovers in mind this property is unmatched! You have access to the Ocklawaha River with a fishing dock by way of a common area. The Ocklawaha Canoe Outpost & Resort is close by and the Eureka West Recreation Area has a boat ramp and fishing pier.
