Are you in search of a serene country haven? Look no further. Welcome to this immaculate custom home, crafted in 2003, poised on a tranquil 3.50-acre expanse. Enveloped in a lush tapestry of greenery and embraced by stately oak trees, this residence boasts the perfect blend of elegance and comfort.
Upon arrival, the newly installed 3-board fencing and pristine concrete driveway, leading to the automatic electric gate, make a striking first impression. Step through the gates to discover manicured landscapes and verdant grasslands that set a captivating stage.
As you step inside, the soaring cathedral ceilings and an inviting open floor plan beckon you to explore further. This split-floor masterpiece comprises 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms across a generous 4,000+ total square feet.
The right wing of the residence plays host to an inviting office, elegantly adorned with French doors, and a spacious master bedroom. The master suite is a retreat in itself, featuring French doors that offer direct access to the pool area, plantation shutters, exquisite hardwood flooring, his and hers closets, and a sprawling master bathroom complete with a sunken tub, a rejuvenating steam shower, and dual sinks atop ample counter space.
Across the way, the left wing unfolds into an array of delightful spaces: formal living and dining areas, a capacious kitchen, and a cozy living room. The kitchen effortlessly merges with the living room, creating a seamless flow perfect for gatherings or quality family time. Revel in the updated kitchen with its new quartz countertops, solid wood cabinets, pull-out storage solutions, double ovens, an expansive eat-in bar, and abundant counter space. The living room echoes this charm, enhanced by a gas fireplace, a wet bar, and French doors that open onto the refreshing pool deck.
A cleverly positioned indoor laundry room leads to the 2-car garage, while the two guest bedrooms and accompanying bathrooms complete this side of the home. Notably, a discreet doorway connects the guest bedrooms, offering the potential to transform this area into a convenient in-law suite.
Venturing outdoors through one of the multiple sets of French doors reveals a screened-in pool paradise, cocooned by graceful crepe myrtles and thoughtfully irrigated shrubbery. The screened lanai, complete with cooling fans, beckons for leisurely summer days, while the outdoor kitchen area, boasting a double sink, elevates alfresco dining.
An additional screened porch provides idyllic views of the sprawling property, making it the perfect vantage point for watching your animals roam in the pasture. But the list of amenities doesn't end here.
Recent updates since 2022 include a new roof adorned with skylights, fresh interior paint, two new garage door openers, a new water heater, and a water softener. The property's strategic location is equally impressive—less than 5 miles from the new World Equestrian Center, dining, shopping, and the convenience of I-75, and a short drive to both Downtown Ocala and the Gulf Of Mexico. With A1 zoning allowing for a range of possibilities and no restrictive covenants, this residence offers both freedom and flexibility.
