Custom-built in 2021 and exceptionally well maintained, this beautiful home shows like brand new. Sellers are offering $10,000 toward closing costs or an interest rate buy-down, giving buyers extra flexibility right from the start. Offering 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and 1,430 sq. ft. of thoughtfully designed living space, the home sits on just over an acre of fully fenced land along a peaceful country road - with no HOA, no flood-zone concerns, and the added bonus of access to a lot on the beautiful Withlacoochee River. Step inside to soaring ceilings and a beautifully finished interior that feels both polished and inviting.The spacious primary suite is a true retreat. An elegant tray ceiling, French doors that open directly to the screened lanai, and a generous walk-in closet with charming barn-style doors set the tone. The private en-suite bathroom continues the farmhouse-inspired feel with a beautiful freestanding soaking tub, a white shiplap accent wall, floating display shelves, and warm bronze fixtures.While open floor plans are everywhere these days, this home offers something more thoughtful: a roomy, separate kitchen that keeps cooking and noise contained where they belong. Soft-close shaker cabinetry, granite countertops, a convenient pantry, and Samsung appliances make it as functional as it is attractive - a distinct, comfortable space for meal preparation without everything spilling into the living area. Granite countertops continue throughout both bathrooms, while luxury vinyl flooring, tasteful hardware, and quality fixtures add a polished touch throughout the home. A whole-home water softening and filtration system is another welcome convenience.Outside, enjoy the freedom of country living with plenty of room to roam, a screened lanai for relaxed outdoor living, an adorable chicken coop, and a detached 18×20 garage for extra storage, hobbies, or projects. The entire property is fully fenced, with no HOA restrictions and no flood-zone concerns. And don't forget that special bonus: access to a lot on the beautiful Withlacoochee River. Bring your kayaks and enjoy the outdoor lifestyle this area is known for.Perhaps one of the property's best-kept secrets isn't even part of the house - it's the neighbors. The current owners have truly loved living here and say leaving such wonderful neighbors is one of the hardest parts of moving. That's the kind of neighborhood charm you simply can't build into a home.
