One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Expect to be impressed with this 4BR pool home in Countryside, a community that provides country-like living just minutes from essential shopping, dining and major roadways. THOUSANDS invested in recent quality updates, including updated baths, roof, pool, and more. (Ask your agent to see the complete list.) Home sits back on a 1-acre lot with a pastoral view out front and treed view in the back. A long driveway w/parking pad is a plus for extra vehicles, including boats and RVs. Step inside to open common living space (with bamboo flooring), ideal for arranging your relaxing and dining spots. Large picture window in front and skylights bathe the space in light. Contemporary kitchen boasts island w/storage, trendy pendant lighting, attractive stone backsplash, farm-style basin sink, and large closet pantry. There's plenty of room to set up dining space to seat a crowd! Appliances included. The open living space includes a cozy sitting room w/a fireplace – ideal for those chilly winter nights. Split bedroom plan with master suite off the kitchen – ideal for privacy. Here you'll enjoy an updated ensuite bath w/soaker tub, separate, frameless shower, vanity w/above counter basin sink/waterfall faucet and convenient doorway to the Florida room and pool beyond. You'll appreciate having a Senville mini split for extra comfort, and a generous sized walk-in closet w/barn door access. The remaining bedrooms/bath (w/updated cabinetry and Roman tub) are tucked off the home's hallway on the other side of the home. A big reason to love this home is all that you have outside. First, there's an oversized Florida room under A/C where you can relax or entertain in comfort. This leads to a screened in saltwater pool (new in 2019) for fun in the sun. You will be delighted with the exterior structures – a detached 30x24 garage/workshop (w/installed breaker box) and additional sheds/pole barn/fencing provide ample storage for vehicles, lawn equipment, pets, etc. And what a treat to have a banana tree – yielded 4 bushels last year! Other notable features: (1) Roof new in 2018, (2) Septic inspected in 2019, (3) Chimney flue cleaned & ready for a fire, (4) New water filters in fridge and in exterior water filter (5/2023), (5) pressure tank for the well replaced in 2021, and (6) digital thermostat. Great location: Short drive to I4 (4 miles), SR 417 (5 miles) and, with Lake Mary Blvd. only 1 mile away, you'll be able to easily run your errands. Very good school district, too. You'll love living here. Come see all that this special home has to offer.
