Welcome to your Dream Home. Situated just outside of San Antonio, minutes from Dade City, Wesley Chapel, and New Tampa, you’ll find the most meticulously cared-for home on almost 2 perfectly landscaped acres. With 5 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, a beautiful screened Lanai with heated pool, and a spacious front porch, this farmhouse-style custom house has everything you could ever want in a forever home. There’s a wrought iron fence entrance with automatic security gate and beautiful paved driveway that leads to a circle drive surrounded by professional landscaping, mature oak trees and vibrant flowers. You’re welcomed on the covered front porch that leads into a grand foyer where you can appreciate the open floor plan and over 10ft tall ceilings. On the main level there is a formal dining room, living room with built-in shelving and wood-burning fireplace, breakfast nook, and expansive kitchen with eat-in bar, huge walk-in pantry, Dacor double ovens with 6-burner gas range, high-end refrigerator, double sinks, and much more. You’ll find 2 bedrooms and a full bath on the main floor as well as the master suite. The master suite offers a sitting area with a gas fireplace, huge walk-in closet with built in drawers and shelving, and a 5-piece ensuite bathroom featuring a large garden tub, water closet, double sinks, and walk-in shower with double shower heads. There is a separate laundry room on the main floor with a window and laundry sink. Upstairs features two more large bedrooms with a full bathroom. One of the bedrooms offers a closet just outside the bedroom door. The other is perfect for a playroom or child’s bedroom. You will be pleasantly surprised that this wonderful home also offers an exercise room or flex space downstairs that was converted from one-half of the 2-car garage. It was enclosed and permitted by previous owners, and is the perfect extra room to work from home and get a workout in. The exterior of this home offers so many special features including a salt-water, heated pool with interchangeable lighting. The pool heater and pump were new in 2022. Paved sidewalks were added to the backyard, as well as a small fenced-in dog-run area just off the screened in Lanai. There is a two-story storage shed that was used as a shop, as well as a covered area for small equipment. The entire 1.87 acre property has been professionally landscaped and lovingly cared for. There’s even a cute wishing well, fire-pit and yard swing to top off this perfect set-up.

AR1
Agricultural-Residential District
The purpose of the AR-1 Agricultural-Residential District is to allow the development of relatively large tracts of land to accommodate those individuals who desire a rural or estate type living environment; to curtail urban development in areas which lack facilities, until such time as those facilities are available; and to promote conservation or greenbelting of rural environments through limiting the intensity and types of residential development.
