A personal retreat awaits, nestled among the pines of this expansive five-acre estate. This custom-built American Sterling home has been lovingly maintained and ready for its next chapter. Enjoy the evenings as the sun sets through the pines sitting on the front porch with its soaring 10-foot ceilings. Greet your neighbors in this friendly community as they pass by walking dogs or taking the obligatory neighborhood golf cart ride. Enter the French front doors featuring leaded glass to enjoy the views of the pool area framing the well-maintained shaded back yard. Diagonal tile, custom millwork, and trayed ceilings set this home apart from the everyday. This smart design allows entertaining in the formal seating area without a view of an untidy kitchen. The formal dining area provides enough room so the kids don’t need a separate table. The breakfast nook in the kitchen is available for the overflow and affords great views of the pool area and large backyard. This chef’s kitchen makes entertaining a breeze with newer LG wall ovens, elevated dishwasher, Corian countertops and custom hardwood cabinets. The current owner was in the cabinet business. Cathedral ceilings provide expansiveness in the main living area. The flow for entertaining allows guests to conveniently enjoy the over-sized covered lanai and the peace and serenity of nature surrounding this home. The primary suite is separate for a private retreat with double vanities, walk-in closets and direct access to the covered lanai and the office in the front of the home. The fourth bedroom can be cordoned off to make an in-law suite with its own bathroom and pool access. Oak Ford is a community of 80 homesites of 5 and 10 acres. There are minimal deed restrictions, zoned OUE, and bring your RV or boat as parking these vehicles are allowed with screening. It is minutes from I75 and the Fruitville commons shopping area with Publix, Cooper’s Hawk Winery, Big Top Brewing, emergency medical services and more.
