Property Description

Discover your private sanctuary on 1.61 acres of lush, park-like grounds—just minutes from historic downtown Inverness and its many amenities. This custom-built 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath, 2,454 SF home with an attached 2-car garage is nestled in Fletcher Heights, a peaceful, non-HOA neighborhood known for its spacious custom homes and oversized lots. Located directly across from the 290-acre Whispering Pines Park, where you'll enjoy walking and biking trails, sports courts, playgrounds, a splash pad, pool, and shaded picnic areas. You're also just minutes from the Withlacoochee State Trail, local shops, restaurants, and medical facilities—offering the perfect blend of peaceful country living with in-town convenience. Step inside to a large mudroom that leads into the foyer and opens to a spacious, open-concept living and dining area. A stone-faced fireplace serves as a cozy focal point, ideal for gathering with family and friends. The adjacent expansive kitchen features plentiful cabinet and counter space, a center island with cooktop, built-in oven and microwave, and a breakfast bar—perfect amenities for the home chef. The split-bedroom layout offers oversized bedrooms with ample closet space. The primary bedroom includes a generous walk-in closet, a luxurious en suite bath with jetted garden tub and separate shower. At the rear of the home, an under-air enclosed porch with numerous windows overlooks the scenic backyard, offering the perfect space to relax and enjoy the view. Outside, you'll find a 520 SF detached, climate-controlled workshop with a built-in office—perfect for hobbies, storage, a potential in-law suite, or a home-based business. Additional features include a screened gazebo, a barbecue/fire pit area, two storage sheds, and a bird aviary. This home offers the perfect blend of spacious interiors, functional outbuildings, and natural beauty—all just minutes from Inverness's charming downtown and abundant outdoor recreation. Recent updates include; new roof on the main house (2018), new metal roof on the workshop (2019), new electrical service panel (2019), new high-efficiency heat pump water heater (2021), and new windows (2010). Tucked away in a peaceful setting—yet just minutes from everything—this move-in-ready home offers the ideal balance of seclusion, natural beauty, and small-town living.
