BACK ON THE MARKET WITH NEW ROOFS ON HOUSE AND GARAGE, PLUS MORE! This beautifully-renovated 1,983SF 3-bedroom, 2-bath split plan ranch sits on a scenic corner 5.2 acre gated lot in the quiet neighborhood of Meadow Wood Farms just minutes from WEC, HITS and shopping. The updated kitchen features granite countertops, Shaker cabinets and Subway backsplash, with a breakfast island overlooking the comfortable open-plan living and dining areas. Two guest bedrooms tucked away on one side of the house share a renovated bathroom with tub shower accented by a tile surround. The master suite is privately located on the other side of the house, and features a walk-in all tile shower and roomy walk-in closet. With its own outside entrance you’ll find a bonus room perfect for theater nights at home or work-from-home private office space. On the practical side, the kitchen offers a gas range and lots of storage, the spacious indoor laundry room comes with a handy tub sink and the whole house fan helps keep utility costs down. The farm is thoughtfully designed to offer horses a natural lifestyle on level and gently-sloping terrain, with 4 cross-fenced paddocks connected together to provide maximum access to grazing. The convenient 3-stall barn includes a tack room, and the whole farm is fully-fenced with 3-board and no-climb to help keep smaller pets secure. The home and barn enjoy views of the sparkling in-ground pool, tranquil pastures, and charming old oaks festooned with swaying Spanish moss. With 5.2 total acres, there is the added benefit of ample room to build an arena or guest cottage, or both! During mild weather, relax on the covered screened back porch with your morning coffee while you listen to the calming sounds of nature. Cool off during hot Florida summers in the pleasantly shaded open-air salt water pool that measures 30’ x 15’. Cozy up to the wood-burning fireplace during chilly winter evenings with your warm cocoa and a good book. Get creative in the detached 24’ x 24’ garage/workshop with workbench and built-in shelving. There is truly something for everyone – including furry and otherwise – on this inviting property.
