Featuring modern updates, a metal roof, and perimeter fencing, this 3-bed, 2-bath home has the major improvements already in place, leaving you free to simply settle in and enjoy. Your journey begins at the gated entrance, where a remote-controlled gate opens to the long, picturesque driveway leading to the 1,506 sq ft home with tropical landscaping and a well-built covered front porch. Inside, you will find original hardwood flooring in the front living area, adding warmth and character, while vinyl plank flooring extends throughout the remainder of the interior. Multiple windows bring natural light into the open layout, where the living room flows easily into the dining area and kitchen. A stone fireplace with a raised hearth creates a striking focal point in the living room. The kitchen showcases marble-look countertops, stainless steel appliances, a center island, and open display shelving. The window over the sink brightens the room and frames a peaceful view as you prepare meals or gather for a casual bite at the island. The spacious primary suite features a walk-in closet and ensuite with a large soaking tub and private water closet, while two guest bedrooms provide welcoming accommodations for family and friends. A bonus room offers space to work, create, or pursue your favorite interests. A dedicated mudroom with a rear exterior door adds practical everyday convenience and keeps the laundry area tucked away within the space for easy access. Outside, a large detached metal storage building is ready for projects, hobbies, equipment, or the practical necessities of country living. This tranquil setting delivers a combination of comfort, functionality, and breathing room that makes rural properties with acreage so appealing. Situated on a dead-end street with a turnaround in Trenton, downtown's local shops, dining, and everyday conveniences are just a short drive away. Nearby, the Nature Coast State Trail offers miles of paved paths for walking and cycling, while Otter Springs provides another option for enjoying the area's natural beauty and outdoor recreation.
