Not in a flood zone. No Hurricane damage. New roof in 2023, new central air in 2023, new instant hot water heater in 2024, well pump about 1 year old. This 3-bedroom 3 bath home is on a very well maintained and highly sought after street approx. .. 7 miles west of Arcadia township for all your shopping, restaurant's, grocery stores etc. .. You will find even more shopping and restaurants straight up Kings Hwy (Hwy 769) at the I-75 exit. Also, easy and quick access to SR 72 which is a short cut to Sarasota. There is an inside laundry room, cathedral ceilings, recessed lighting throughout the home, all tile flooring, high quality wooden doors and a beautiful kitchen with wood cabinets and granite counter tops. The master bedroom has a master bath and a huge walk-in closet. To many things to list them all in this solid block homes interior so let's move to the outside. The front door isn't used as the main entry, there is a back entry door as well as a side entry door and French doors from the dining room leading to the patio.

A pole barn with 3 horse stalls and covered areas for the tractors, 4 wheelers etc. In the far back right corner is another carport area and to the far left side is a 2nd gated entry, where you have a central airconditioned 18'x36', 4 year old detached 4+ car garage & workshop with side door and pull up car door entry. Fill it with multiple cars, boats, 4 wheelers and any other toys you may have that need to be pampered. Also has its own power pole. Pond on property for horses or cows or just toss a fishing line in. There are two 100lb propane tanks under the water treatment covered area which is used for the instant hot water heater and the gas stove. Did I mention this property has an artesian well so even if the power goes out you still have water. The entire property is fenced and also crossed fenced for livestock. Just too much to cover here, do your self a favor and arrange to see this one, you won't regret it.
