One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. This solid, custom-built 2023 home features an open floor plan with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, plus a separate office—unlike the "cookie-cutter" new builds popping up around the area. Set on 1.2 wooded acres, the property is exceptionally private, with a fenced yard ideal for pets and surrounded by mature trees and natural vegetation (no pesticides used on the lawn - for pet safety). Set in Fairview Estates in Citrus Hills—an exclusive, deed-restricted community known for natural beauty and a friendly, yet quiet setting. Inside, the custom-designed kitchen is the heart of the home, with a huge granite island, Italian tile backsplash, and a relaxed flow that creates a welcoming central gathering space. Plenty of light flows into all areas of this home, giving an airy ambiance. A massive 4-car garage provides abundant room for vehicles, boats, bikes, and a workshop. Enjoy breezy outdoor living on the covered back porch, perfect for dining al fresco and taking in the tranquil surroundings. If you choose to add a pool in the future, the owners had all the needed electrical wiring done on the exterior of the home to make that an easy option! (There's no required social membership to Citrus Hills Golf Club.) Conveniently located near shopping, schools, and restaurants, with the 46-mile Withlacoochee biking and hiking trail nearby. Boat access to lakes, springs, and the Gulf is just minutes away. Home shows like new. Secluded and lovely—this "rare dove" offers the opportunity to enjoy a peaceful, nature-inspired lifestyle.
