Come check out this place! Amongst many other features, this is also a Fisherman's paradise, stones' throw from lake, with public ramp and dock right there. Lovely 3/2/1 home that has recently been renovated. Open concept layout with brand new kitchen featuring quartz countertops, subway tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and great lighting. Updated bathrooms. All new waterproof vinyl plank flooring throughout. Inside and outside just painted. New ceiling fans in all the rooms. In-house laundry room with washer/dryer and wall cabinets for extra storage. Huge enclosed back porch. Concrete slab patio with fire pit off of back porch. Large shed in backyard. BRAND NEW A/C system (installed end of December) Roof in good shape. Quiet street with boat ramp at the end, into Lake Istokpoga. Wildlife abounds. DOUBLE LOTS, so the lot to the left of the house is also included in the sale, totalling just over 1/2 acre. Sitting out back is beyond explanation. Must see to appreciate this "like new" home. Move-in ready. Perfect investment with rental opportunities. Under two hours to each Coast, and only 80 miles South of Orlando and top attractions. A short walk to end of the block has a public dock that you can drop your fishing pole in. Come live the dream. ..
