APPRAISED FOR $525,000 IN JUNE 2024!! This beautiful slice of country-living is waiting for its new owner! Set-back off of quiet Wauchula Rd, this home offers privacy and peace on its 5-acre lot. The open floorplan is great for family gatherings and entertaining guests. The large Kitchen is generous in size and cabinetry, and features a high-bar for quick meals or to share a drink with a friend. Both bedrooms are set back from the Living Areas, so the bedrooms remain quiet even while entertaining guests. The double-sliders in the Living and Dining Rooms bring in ample lighting, and overlook the HUGE deck. The deck is the most accommodating and spacious deck you've ever encountered, allowing you to expand on your entertaining space. CLOSETS GALORE -- There is a large storage closet near the front door inside, as well as 2 linen closets in the hallway, a linen closet in the Master Bathroom, and a HUGE walk-in Master Bedroom closet. Did I mention the large, inside utility room? It houses the air handler and water heater for ease of maintenance and servicing, and still has room for extra storage if needed. THE ROOF IS 1 YEAR NEW!! The owner fenced off a portion of the back area in preparation for adding farm life. This crossed-fenced area also features a shaded pond surrounded by trees. Move in and bring the animals with you -- the land is ready for them! There is a large shed/workshop off the back-side of the home. There is a small, fenced area outside of the Kitchen window that is the perfect space for a fresh garden. The home is elevated on concrete stilts (never worry about any flooding), and provides ample parking under the building. NO FLOOD INSURANCE REQUIRED! THIS HOME SURVIVED HURRICANE HELENE AND HURRICANE MILTON <3 Make your appointment today to explore the potential that this home holds in store for you!
