1035 Christy Way North Inverness, FL 34453
This charming, three-bedroom, two-bath home is in pristine condition. It feels like you are stepping into a builder model. From the moment you drive up you get a sense of quiet serenity. Wide side lots offer privacy and the rear property line borders an eco-friendly conservation area guaranteeing you will never have backyard neighbors. The deep green of mature junipers lends their rich color to the landscaping year round. They are slow growing, easy to maintain and provide a cool contrast against the warm terra cotta paint of the exterior of the home. Arched windows add to the soft appearance. A happy population of yellow-blossomed perennials greet those who enter the front door. Inside, the open plan feels more spacious than the 1,256 square feet of living area. Cathedral ceilings lift high and feature a broad shelf to display plants, your favorite accessory groupings or collectibles. Underfoot in the living room is soft, neutral toned carpeting that defines the space. A large picture window frames the seating area and invites a cheerful flow of indirect light. The owners have combined beauty and practicality with the look of expensive travertine tile recreated in a no fuss vinyl that flows from all the high traffic paths into the dining area and kitchen. You will have to bend down and touch it to believe it is not real. Looking from the living room over the elongated breakfast bar you can see the spotless kitchen. A new Moen faucet and double basin stainless steel sink are centered yet hidden behind the elevated breakfast bar. Washed oak cabinetry includes a pantry and crown molding, a sophisticated upgrade that is a rare find in a home in this price range. Crisp white appliances stay including a smooth-top range. The washer and dryer combo are negotiable. All new furniture has been ordered for the new home of the current owners so they will include this furniture for the right offer. Now that is a good deal! The dining area seats a dinner party for six beneath the chandelier. The roomy master hosts a reading chair, a full suite of furniture and walk-in closet. The master bath has coordinating wood cabinetry and large, step-in shower. Two additional bedrooms feature in line closets with louvered bi-fold doors, plush, neutral carpet and a window. The main bath has been recently upgraded with gorgeous floor to ceiling tiles. A pedestal sink, and decorative tile inserts create sleek lines. A finished screen porch is where you will spend many hours enjoying the breezes and the wildlife that visits the conservation area. A paver brick barbecue patio has a great design and will host many backyard parties. There is space to add a pool. Nature extends from your backyard into the surrounding community. The Withlacoochee Trail is less than a third of a mile. Any direction you travel is likely to lead to thousands of acres of wooded mature preserves at Withlacoochee State Park, Fort Cooper Park and others. The centerpiece of downtown is the historic brick courthouse with a soaring metal cupola gently aged to a soft patina. And Cooter Pond Park with a boardwalk and huge, graceful fountain. Just down the road is Wallace Brooks Park that offers shuffleboard, a playground, and pier with views of incredible cypress trees and crystal blue lake waters. The elementary and middle schools are both highly rated. This quiet lifestyle is yours even though you can reach shopping, golf, I-75 or the Parkway in just minutes. Reach Tampa airport in a bit over an hour. Put this terrific home on your short list of MUST SEE properties.
