986 SE 57th Ave, Ocala, FL 34480

Welcome to this beautiful home in a highly sought-after Southeast Ocala neighborhood, where a canopy of mature oak trees frames the street and adds to the home's fabulous curb appeal. This property offers the perfect blend of charm, space, and smart upgrades. Step inside to find a formal dining room, spacious office/den, and an inviting living room with vaulted beam ceilings and a cozy wood-burning fireplace. The updated kitchen features Corian countertops, a pantry, and nearly new appliances: gas range (2021), refrigerator (2023), microwave (2021), and dishwasher (2024). Enjoy the added touches of a butcher block counter in the breakfast nook and ample built-ins throughout the home. Smart home-ready with a Nest thermostat, routed fiber-optic internet, and Ring doorbell in place. The HVAC (serviced every 6 months) and roof are well-maintained, and the garage door was replaced in 2022. 3 spacious bedrooms, including a generously sized guest room, and double-vanity bathrooms with glass-enclosed tile showers. The guest bath offers backyard access—perfect for future pool plans (already permitted with the city!). Laundry room off garage, tons of storage, and washer/dryer convey. The lanai is AC-ready for future enclosure, and the entire backyard is secured by a 6” fence installed 3 years ago. Termite bond with HomeTeam Pest Defense is current and serviced quarterly. We can't wait for you to fall in love with this home.
