5 Beds ⋅ 3 Baths ⋅ University Ave Properties Inc SubDv. ⋅ 32615 Zip Code
The best of both town and country living in one place. The tranquility of being in the remote country, yet located just 20 minutes from major shopping, dining, hospital, university… plus conveniences such as Amazon and food deliveries. The beauty of the property is magical. Every window in the home offers views of majestic oaks, roaming deer, humming birds, bunnies… All domesticated pets are welcome here too. Bring your horses, cows, goats, chickens, ducks, and even fish. The home is situated near the center of just over 10 acres with a fenced perimeter and an electric gate. The cathedral ceilings, extra wide walkways, and park-like views give the impression of being at a ranch resort. The concrete floors are stained and sealed offering style with incredible durability. The dogtrot architecture features one bedroom and full bath situated in the east wing near the service entrance, laundry, kitchen and great-room. The remaining four bedrooms and two full baths are all in the west wing of the home giving them privacy from the entertainment area and providing access to enjoy sunsets while relaxing in the primary bathtub. The property and home have been completely renovated, renewed, cleaned up, and continuously improved since 2021. All of the changes were done with the utmost of care and attention to detail. What used to be an open and unfinished little tack-room has been converted into a fully insulated workshop with an attached garage. Practically every inch, inside and out of the house has been made new and everything has been improved. In 2021, the old roof was removed and redone to meet Florida’s latest wind requirements. The new kitchen layout gives plenty of room to move and lots of storage along with two ovens, two fridges, two sinks, and a 36” Italian gas cooktop. The other kitchen improvements include solid wood cabinetry, stone countertops, and high-end appliances including Fulgor Milano, Viking, Bosch, and Samsung. The whole home water system is plumbed through an on-demand Kinetico water softener. There is an added Reverse Osmosis system inside the house for extra pure drinking water and crystal clear ice cubes. The existing in-ground pool has been converted to a saltwater system for a healthier swim experience which is further enhanced by the newly added screen enclosure and covered patio. Internet providers in the neighborhood include Kinetic Fiber which offers speeds up to 2 Gig as well as Spectrum formerly Cox Internet. FYI, the home is back on the market after having been off as pending even though the due diligence process was satisfactorily completed and it appraised above the contracted sales price. Owners were fully moved out and ready to close when they were informed that the buyer could not get the financing needed to purchase the home. Hence this new FSBO listing and the lackluster staging. Current owners are now maintaining two homes and are ready to vacate on short notice.
