Situated on an oversized quarter-acre lot within the gated 55+ section of Ocala Preserve, this inviting home is highly accessible to NW Ocala's many opportunities! Resting at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, the home features ample curb-appeal thanks to a brick driveway, tasteful landscaping, and a gated front patio. Offering a total of 2-bedrooms and 2.5-baths with over 2,700 sq.ft, the home is defined by large, open spaces and an inviting atmosphere. The interiors feature an open, split-bedroom floor plan with crown molding and large windows throughout for abundant natural light. Wood-look tile and thoughtful paint choices run throughout the home, making the interiors warm and welcoming. For those who enjoy entertaining, this home is perfectly designed for it! The main living area is incredibly spacious and comes equipped with a built-in wet-bar with wine cooler and cabinets with under-cabinet lighting. Overlooking the living area is the stunning kitchen, which provides abundant cabinet and counter space, tiled backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and a large center island with breakfast bar, gas range, and custom stainless steel vent hood. A formal dining area rounds out the main space, offering an easy layout that keeps conversation flowing. Both bedrooms in the home are master suites, which offer large layouts, walk-in closets, and their own private en-suites. The larger of the two suites is extra special, with tray ceiling accents, a full shelving system in the closet, and a larger en-suite with dual sinks, built-in vanity space, and a huge shower with built-in seating and stone-look flooring. A flex space rests just off of the secondary suite, providing the potential for use as an artist studio, an in-law suite, or even potential conversion to a third bedroom. In fact, there is ample opportunity to convert the home into a 3-bedroom in multiple ways if desired- several spaces in the home could serve as the starting point of a third bedroom conversion without sacrificing the integrity of the main spaces. For those looking to enjoy the year-round sunshine, this home is a true gem! A large Florida room provides plenty of natural light, with tall cathedral ceilings that feature a painted wood finish. The back and side yards are accessible through a set of sliding glass doors and provides a large covered area with ceiling fan that is perfect for seating, an expansive paver patio, and built-in fire pit that makes entertaining a breeze. Fully fenced, the backyard is also the perfect space for four-legged companions to explore safely. Ocala Preserve is a stunning community loaded with amenities that include a club-house with restaurant and fitness center, community pool, golf course, and much more! The World Equestrian Center is just minutes away, as are a variety of shopping, dining, entertainment, and medical options! If you're dreaming of a quiet place to take advantage of all that Ocala has to offer, this home is a stunning option that is a true must-see!
