Welcome home to this beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath concrete block and stucco home in the highly desirable Crystal Lakes community on the growing southeast side of Ocala. Built by Stephens Construction, this spacious home offers 1,682 square feet of living space plus an additional 319 (+/-) square feet of enclosed lanai space - creating the perfect flex space for relaxing, entertaining, or additional living area. Because the lanai is under roof, it is insulated to help keep the space comfortable year-round, and it could easily be upgraded with a mini-split AC system or additional ductwork, making it a room you can enjoy all year long. Step inside and you'll immediately notice the generous room sizes, natural light, and functional layout. The spacious primary suite features direct lanai access and a large ensuite bath complete with a tiled shower and oversized double-sink vanity. The kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring abundant counter space, a center island, breakfast nook, a large pantry cabinet with pull-out shelves, and two large skylights that flood the space with natural light. Peace of mind comes with major updates already completed, including a newer roof (2021), HVAC system (2020), and updated water heater. Outside, enjoy mature landscaping, decorative curbing, and the peaceful setting that makes Crystal Lakes so desirable, complete with scenic lakes that create the perfect backdrop for evening walks and enjoying the view. Conveniently located near shopping, dining, and everyday essentials including Publix, Tractor Supply, Walmart, and more, this home offers the perfect combination of comfort, value, and location. This home is ready for you to make it your own - don't miss this opportunity!
