Modern living, country setting! This exquisite Royal Highlands home sits on a full acre on a cul-de-sac street in a tranquil neighborhood with no HOA. Meticulously maintained by its original owner since its completion, it has a new well tank and new AC in 2015. Graceful pillars stand guard over the double door entry, which opens to reveal a tiled foyer. Abundant natural lighting from large windows and glass doors and soaring vaulted ceilings create a bright and airy atmosphere. The open concept, split bedroom floor plan features spacious living and dining rooms; host your friends for game night or snuggle up with your sweetie to binge watch your favorite series. You can park your snacks on the breakfast bar of the bright and cheery kitchen. There’s tons of cabinet space, a pantry, lots of counter space for prep work, and a new heating element in the stove. Nibble your toast or sip coffee in the cozy eating nook while you take in a view of the pool area. At the end of a long day, the expansive primary bedroom is your personal sanctuary. It offers private access to the lanai and pool, as well as double walk-in closets. The dual sinks in the ensuite primary bathroom include a built-in vanity so you can work on hair and makeup at your leisure. Wash away your stress in either the garden tub or separate shower. The remaining guest bedrooms each have walk-in closets; they share a guest bathroom with a tub/shower combo and access to the pool deck. Thank goodness for extensive Florida summers, because you’ll want to spend all your time outdoors here! Brick pavers line the covered lanai and pool deck, where you can sip umbrella drinks or catch up on your vitamin-D intake. Enjoy a relaxing swim when the clear aqua waters of the in-ground, solar-heated pool beckon. Grab a glass of wine in the evenings, slip out the screen door, and walk the paved path to the wood deck in the backyard. It rests beneath the shade of mature oaks surrounded by lush greenery; it’s the perfect spot to listen for birdsong or watch for wildlife. If you need additional space to stow your belongings, there’s also a shed out back for storage. Although this peaceful locale has a rural feel, it’s close to plenty of amenities, including schools, a library, a hospital, shopping, and dining. Take advantage of your proximity to the Adventure Coast; Weeki Wachee Springs State Park with its waterpark, mermaid show, and small craft launch is only 5 miles to the west. Popular swim destinations like Rogers Park and Pine Island Beach are less than 20 minutes away. Conveniently situated between US-19 and SR-50, travel to Homosassa, Tarpon Springs, Tampa, and Clearwater is convenient. The theme parks and attractions of Orlando are less than 2 hours away, too.
