Tucked beneath a canopy of majestic oaks in the established Tuscawilla Forest community, this charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath, 2-car garage home offers approximately 1,700 square feet of living space on a spacious .26-acre lot—along with something you simply can't recreate overnight: character, mature landscaping and the welcoming feel of an established neighborhood. Cherished by the same homeowner since 2004, this has been a much-loved home for more than two decades. The owners have especially treasured their wonderful neighbors and convenient location, and now it's time for a new owner to begin their own chapter here. Step inside and you'll immediately appreciate the desirable split-bedroom floor plan, vaulted ceilings and skylights that bring natural light into the main living areas. At the heart of the home, the inviting living space features a double-sided fireplace, warm wood accents and built-in shelving. The kitchen offers real wood cabinetry, generous counter space, breakfast bar, stainless-steel appliances and stylish tile backsplash, opening naturally to the main living area. The primary suite offers a private retreat with a beautifully remodeled bath featuring dual vanities, soaking tub and separate glass-enclosed walk-in shower with striking tile and pebble-stone accents. The secondary bath has also been beautifully remodeled. MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS HAVE ALREADY BEEN MADE, including a NEW ROOF IN 2021 with new gutters and gutter guards, A/C SYSTEM IN 2020 with parts-and-labor warranty noted through 2030, REMODELED BATHROOMS IN 2024, PEX PLUMBING, TWO-TONE VINYL PRIVACY FENCE IN 2023 and NEW ST. AUGUSTINE GRASS IN 2023. Additional improvements include the updated kitchen, lighting and ceiling fans, flooring and sprinkler system. And then there's the OUTDOOR LIVING! Sliding glass doors lead to an expansive screened and covered lanai, perfect for morning coffee, weekend gatherings or simply enjoying Florida living. Beyond the lanai, the large, private fenced backyard is shaded by beautiful mature trees with plenty of room for gardening, pets, play, entertaining—or perhaps that future pool you've been dreaming about. Whether hosting friends, enjoying a quiet evening under the trees or simply unwinding after a long day, this backyard offers the space and privacy to enjoy being home.
