Have you dreamed of living in Paradise? Would you like your pool to be surrounded by lush flowering plants, rolling green grass, and luscious fruit trees? Do you need larger bedrooms with brand new carpeting, and natural light pouring in from all directions? Do you prefer a dining room, AND a breakfast room for more casual meals. Are you tired of the cookie-cutter homes that we’ve all seen a million times? Would you like a home unlike any other? How about all this on a lot just shy of an acre, in a wooded community with no HOA, close to Shands, the VA, shopping and UF? Well here is everything you’ve been looking for and more! Rarely am I at a loss for words to describe the beauty of a home, but for the first time in over a decade, I find myself unable to put in to words the beauty, charm, warmth, and enchantment that this home embodies. While the pictures are beautiful, you’ll find the home so much more so. Throughout this home, you’ll find extraordinary quality. Note the detail of the kitchen cabinetry, if you can pull your eyes off the stunning bay window. Take a couple of steps down into the casual dining room and imagine having your coffee while watching family play outside, or just watch nature do her thing. Then you just meander through the formal dining room, stopping to admire this stunning bay window here as well (perfect place for my Holiday decorations, you think) and step into the spacious living room. The natural light is pouring in from the top windows in the vaulted ceiling and the wall of windows in the connected enclosed porch. As you imagine hot chocolate by the fireplace in the winter, you notice the birds singing to you on the feeders just outside those beautiful windows. Now you’re completely torn, do I have my morning coffee here instead? I can still see the everyone outside, but now I see even more flowering bushes/trees! Have I stepped into a Disney movie? You pull yourself away from the view with a sigh, and check the rest of the house. Each bedroom seems to have its own individual charm, as if competing with the bedroom you just left. The guest bath is stunning! Small, but big enough to be comfortable, and completely renovated with incredible attention to detail. Then you walk into the owners wing. This area can be completely shut off from the rest of the house to guarantee privacy, something you didn’t even realize you needed until this moment. The owners bedroom leaves you speechless… it’s so large, with an entire wall of closet space. This bathroom is also beautifully and tastefully remodeled. There is a sitting area for you to recapture your sanity, beside the wood burning fireplace. Maybe you just open the door to the backyard, admire your plum trees, grab an orange off 1 of your 3 trees and gaze on the 10 varieties of camellias, azaleas, hydrangea, roses, 3 mature tulip magnolias, loquat tree and the list goes on. And look at that huge pool deck! The oversized pool is so inviting, but then so is the cabana… where will I have my morning coffee?? You note, separate pool shower and bathroom. Your metal roof with solar panels keeps you cool and your variable speed pool pump help keep costs down with an avg utility bill of $267 for sellers. Separate solar heating for the pool keeps it inviting for a splash year round! This home has been well loved. Both septic tanks were pumped in 10/23. Welcome home, unpack, enjoy!
