Offering a peaceful country lifestyle without sacrificing city convenience is this hidden gem in Grassy Lake Estates less than 10 miles from University of Florida! Sitting on 6.32 gorgeous acres zoned for horses is not 1, but 2 homes! There’s a stunning like-new 1,872 sq ft 3-bed, 2-bath home built in 2018 by Robinson Renovation & Custom Homes, Inc., and an adorable 900 sq ft 2-bed, 1-bath guest house built in 2021. The exquisite modern farmhouse features 10 ft ceilings, high-end finishes, a sophisticated neutral palette, porcelain wood-look tile, Corian countertops, and tranquil vistas throughout. Stepping indoors you will find yourself in a huge great room that highlights a wood-burning fireplace, a clever barn door covering the TV, and glass doors overlooking the private backyard. Custom lighting showcases the dining area and designer island kitchen packed full of elevated aesthetics including stainless steel appliances, focal-point range hood, classic white subway tile backsplash, and custom cabinetry. A split bedroom plan has the primary suite off the kitchen. The spacious suite includes a barn door entry into the sizable ensuite boasting double sinks, bathtub, huge walk-in shower, and white subway tiles. On the other side of the home are two guest bedrooms with upgraded closets and a full guest bath featuring a glass-enclosed walk-in shower with white subway tiles, consistent with the home’s style.
