About this home

One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Welcome to a beautifully maintained Cali model built in 2020 by D.R. Horton, offering the perfect blend of modern design, comfort, and long-term reliability. Situated on an oversized .30-acre lot just inside the entrance of the neighborhood, this location provides both convenience and a sense of space that is increasingly hard to find. Inside, you’ll appreciate the thoughtful layout and quality finishes throughout. Tile flooring flows through the main areas for durability and easy maintenance, while plush carpet in the living room and bedrooms adds warmth and comfort where it matters most. The open-concept design creates a seamless connection between the kitchen, dining, and living spaces, allowing natural light to pour in and making the home ideal for both everyday living and entertaining guests. The kitchen serves as the heart of the home, featuring a large central island that offers ample prep space, casual seating, and a natural gathering point for family and friends. With newer appliances and updated utilities, you can move in with confidence, knowing your investment is backed by modern efficiency and reliability. Designed with privacy in mind, the spacious primary suite is thoughtfully split from the additional bedrooms, creating a quiet retreat at the end of the day. Generous proportions and a functional layout make it a true sanctuary within the home. Step outside to a fully fenced backyard that provides both security and privacy—perfect for pets, play, or simply enjoying your own outdoor space. With no rear neighbors and no future construction behind the property, you’ll enjoy an added layer of peace, quiet, and uninterrupted views that are difficult to find in newer communities. The oversized lot enhances the sense of openness while still being located just minutes from shopping, grocery stores, schools, dining, and everyday essentials. If you’re searching for a home that delivers exceptional value, modern construction, and peace of mind in a prime Ocala location, this property checks every box.
