This charming single story home is situated on a spacious 5-acre lot, offering a serene and private setting. With three bedrooms, a separate office and two full bathrooms, this beauty provides ample space for comfortable living. Please note the office may easily be converted to a 4th bedroom with a simple closet addition where current owner has storage shelves. Once you enter the gravel drive, you'll be greeted by stunning citrus and oak trees that provide shade and add to the overall beauty of the landscape. The barn to the rear of the property offers three stalls with water and electric as well as an exterior pen and additional storage space above. As you enter the foyer, you will fall in love with the rustic yet updated look of brick flooring throughout the dining room, kitchen, den and laundry rooms. This home was completely updated in 2020 to include the galley style kitchen with quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances with plenty of storage. Large eat in kitchen area off of the kitchen flows nicely into the den creating a semi open floor plan. Formal dining room is currently being used as a separate living area. The true highlight of this home is not only the 5 acres of improved landscape but also the large inviting pool, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the warm summer days. Bond for Deed Available!
