This could be your forever home! A slice of paradise, located in the Melrose Landing community, with travel times just 30 minutes to Gainesville, 40 to Ocala; or even better, just an hour to St. Augustine beach! The front porch warmly greets you as it wraps around the front of the house. There are breath-taking views from the backyard, a sturdy tire swing, an entertaining deck and you might also catch glimpses of wildlife such as deer, bunnies, cranes, foxes, and more! Inside this dream house there are plenty of personalized additions to make everyday living just a little more luxurious. As you enter you can’t help but notice the beautiful hard wood floors throughout the home. The living room is conveniently large enough to fit the small eat-in breakfast area, which easily seats 4 or more. You will also find the adorable “under the stairs nook;” the previous owners used it for dog sleeping quarters but is big enough to be remolded for sensible storage or a child’s reading room! Turn the corner and you’ll see a newly updated kitchen with handmade live-edge countertops, fresh paint, new reverse osmosis drinking water system, views of the backyard, and 2020 refrigerator and stove. It will be hard not to want to cook every meal here. Attached to the kitchen is the utility room, with the second house entrance. It also has 2020 washer/dryer that are elevated on platforms to save your back and a custom murphy table for sorting loads. Around the corner is the downstairs half bath: updated with new paint, vanity, toilet and a pendulum light fixture. Then on to the large formal dining room with the beautiful, bright bay windows, a space large enough for 2 home offices or a child’s playroom! As you travel upstairs, you’ll undoubtedly notice the dramatic barn door which conceals the hallway bathroom. There is amazing natural light throughout the day, and it too has a new toilet, sink and rain shower head. To the left is the owner’s suite; this room also has the bay windows that mirror the downstairs. The closed off shower and toilet room, the large walk-in closet, the storage shelves as well as the vanity and new sink combo makes getting ready in this room a snap. And across the hall there is the sweet second room; turned nursery. There’s a customized closet with a built-in toy trunk, fresh paint and a new ceiling fan/light fixture. Lastly is the charming third room, natural light fills this room all day long and the new light fixture/ fan combo keeps the room cozy all night! The 2021 Trane A/C system efficiently and effectively keeps this house at any comfy temp all year long. The current owners are in preparations for a new roof as well, don’t miss out on owning this gem!
