This 4-bedroom, 3.5 bath pool home is truly special. Situated in an ideal location, minutes from downtown Inverness and convenient to Lecanto, Ocala, and the beautiful Withlacoochee State Trail, the adjacent fenced VACANT LOT (0.43 acres) on the east side of the property is INCLUDED in the listing price. As you step inside to the open floor plan designed for easy living and entertaining, you will love the many real wood cabinets, granite countertops, and center prep island in the huge kitchen. A walk-in pantry and separate laundry room are just off the kitchen, with a half bath right around the corner. Three sets of French doors - from the primary bedroom, family room, and dining room area - lead onto the spacious patio surrounding the beach-entrance heated pool and attached hot tub. The primary suite features separate his and hers walk-in closets, his and hers sink areas, a roomy garden tub, and a separate large shower. A second large bedroom is situated between the garage and kitchen and features a complete wall of closets and a bathroom with shower, many options for usage, such as a mother-in-law suite, additional bedroom, gym, office, craft room etc. Two additional bedrooms – one directly across the hall from the roomy third full bath, which also opens onto the pool area – complete the home. Two linen closets, as well as deep built-in cabinets flanking the gas fireplace, provide ample interior storage, while the oversized two-car garage and attic space allow for additional storage. The home feels exceptionally spacious because of the 15-foot ceiling in the foyer and 10-foot ceilings throughout. The crown molding and multiple tray ceilings set the home apart. Some ceilings have accent rope lights for an added lighting option. New roof in 2024, new HVAC in 2022. Connell Lake Estates is a non-restricted community.
