Welcome to resort-style living in gated Ocala Preserve, just minutes from the World Equestrian Center and set among live oaks, parks, and a seven-acre lake. Spend the morning on the walking, hiking, and bike trails, play tennis or pickleball, swim at the resort and lap pools, work out at the athletic center, or tee off at the Tom Lehman-designed Golf Club. Unwind at the clubhouse and day spa, take the dogs to the park, or paddle out at sunrise from Shoreline Outfitter. Evenings are easy: a glass of wine on the waterfront veranda, or a delicious dinner at the on-site Salted Brick Restaurant. This 2023 recently built concrete-block, open-concept home is built for everyday comfort and easy gathering. The heart of this home is the central kitchen, featuring granite counters, a large island for entertaining, a walk-in pantry with custom shelves, and stainless electric range, microwave, and dishwasher. It overlooks the great room and dining area, which open to a covered screened lanai for al fresco meals. Tile floors run through the main living spaces; fresh carpet is reserved for the front guest bedroom, and the flex room or den with French doors works as a quiet office or extra living space. The layout is thoughtfully split. The front guest bedroom shares a full hall bath. The primary suite sits at the rear for privacy, with an ensuite featuring a double vanity, water closet, and two large walk-in closets with custom shelving. Interior laundry is just off the primary. Practical extras include added ceiling fans, gutters, a mudroom area upon entry from the garage with a storage closet and a nook for an extra fridge, a screened doggie door, and a fenced backyard ready for your furry friends. Enjoy the convenience of low-maintenance living! The HOA fee includes internet, lawn care, sprinkler system repair and maintenance, and water for the sprinkler system-helping take care of the everyday details so you can spend more time enjoying your home and community. Take a look at this low-maintenance home with the full Ocala Preserve lifestyle just outside the door. This property has no age restrictions.
