Property Description

COUNTRY CHARM, SPACE & ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES Welcome to your own slice of country living, where peaceful country roads meet incredible convenience! This charming 3-bedroom, 3-bath home sits on 2.34 acres shaded by mature oaks and offers approximately 1,850 square feet of living space, a 2-car garage, in-ground pool, screened outdoor living, impressive detached barn/workshop, and a separate auxiliary living area with incredible possibilities. Start your mornings or unwind at the end of the day on the covered front porch—the perfect spot to relax, visit, and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Inside, the main living areas feature luxury vinyl plank flooring, while all three bedrooms have newer wall-to-wall carpeting. The updated kitchen includes new cabinets and quartz countertops, with the dishwasher, stove, and microwave updated in 2022. The living room features a cozy fireplace with an electric insert, while the existing gas line remains for those who may want to convert it back to gas. The chimney was completely rebuilt in 2023 when the new roof was installed. Glass sliders lead from the living room to an expansive covered and screened lanai, extending the home's living space and leading to the screen-enclosed in-ground pool. The pool screen was fully replaced in 2023, and the pool deck has been freshly power washed—perfect for relaxing, entertaining, or enjoying Florida's beautiful weather. Outside is where the possibilities really shine. The 2.34 acres provide plenty of room for a mini farm, hobby property, garden, workshop, equipment, or simply space to spread out. A detached shed adds storage, while the impressive larger garage/workshop offers two parking spaces plus a dedicated work area for hobbies, projects, equipment, or a small business. Another unique feature is the auxiliary living area, currently set up with a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen/living space, plus two additional rooms and another bathroom currently used as offices. This flexible space could potentially become an in-law suite, expanded guest quarters, multigenerational space, home office, or income-producing short- or long-term rental, subject to applicable approvals and requirements. Extra flooring matching the home's existing flooring is included, making future updates even easier. The bathrooms are the only areas not fully renovated, giving the next owner an opportunity to personalize them rather than paying for someone else's choices. Best of all, enjoy country living without sacrificing convenience. No HOA means fewer restrictions and more freedom to enjoy your property your way. If you've been dreaming of acreage, a pool, workshop space, flexible living areas, and room for a mini farm—all without an HOA—this property deserves a closer look. Country roads, take me home!
