About This Home

As of August 2025

Nestled in the peaceful community of Babson Park, this inviting 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home offers a perfect blend of comfort and convenience. Situated on nearly an acre of land, this well-maintained residence features a covered front porch ideal for relaxing in your rocking chairs and enjoying the warm Florida evenings. Best of all, there’s no HOA, so bring your boat, RV, or other toys!

Step inside to discover an open and airy living space, complete with large windows that fill the home with natural light. The cozy wood-burning fireplace adds a touch of warmth and charm to the living room, perfect for chilly nights or creating a cozy ambiance. The kitchen is both functional and stylish, with ample cabinet space, modern appliances, and a cozy breakfast nook. The generously sized secondary bedrooms offer plenty of space for family members or guests, ensuring comfort and privacy. The master suite offers a private retreat with a spacious bedroom and an en-suite bathroom for ultimate relaxation.

One of the standout features of this home is its proximity to Crooked Lake – just three doors down, you'll find a public access point and boat ramp, perfect for water enthusiasts looking to enjoy boating, fishing, and scenic views.

The outdoor area is equally impressive, offering a spacious shed for additional storage, tools, or outdoor equipment. Relax and unwind in the shade of the majestic oak tree, where you’ll find a peaceful hammock – the perfect spot for a nap or reading a book. For those who love to entertain, you’ll enjoy the screened-in back porch, accessed through two sets of French doors, ideal for grilling out or gathering with friends and family. The home is connected to public water, but the irrigation system has its own private well to keep the yard lush and beautiful. With almost an acre of land, there’s plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the great outdoors.

Additional features include a 2-car side-load garage providing easy access and extra curb appeal, and an indoor laundry/utility room, adding convenience and functionality to your daily routine.

Located just minutes from local schools, shops, and outdoor recreation, this home is a wonderful opportunity for first-time buyers, families, or those looking to enjoy the charm of rural living with easy access to nearby amenities.
