Welcome Home, to Your Slice of Country Living--Right in the Heart of Town!
Located in the highly sought-after, well-established DeSoto Acres neighborhood, this beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 3-bath home offers the perfect blend of peace, privacy, and convenience--all nestled on 2.25 acres of naturally landscaped, serene grounds in a designated bird sanctuary.
Step inside the 1,745 sq ft open floor plan and discover a warm, inviting space designed for both comfort and flexibility. One of the spacious bedrooms has been thoughtfully transformed into a brand-new mother-in-law suite (August 2024) with its own private entrance and optional interior access--ideal for multigenerational living, guests, or generating rental income.
Enjoy abundant natural light throughout the home, accentuated by new hurricane-impact French entry doors and a sliding glass door (both installed August 2025). New ceiling fans in every room help keep the Florida breeze moving, and a Vermont Castings wood-burning stove adds a cozy touch during the cooler months. Central heat and air ensure year-round comfort.
Step outside to enjoy two spacious screened lanais with ceiling fans--perfect for relaxing, dining, or entertaining outdoors all year long. The oversized 2.5-car garage, 20x40 covered carport, and attached utility shed (on a concrete slab) with ample storage for vehicles, RVs, tools, and toys. There's even plenty of room to build your dream pool.
Love to garden or homestead? You'll appreciate the fertile soil, ready for vegetable beds, butterfly gardens, or flower patches. Already equipped for farm life, the property includes a fenced pasture and a 20x10 corral that could easily be converted into a chicken coop. Bring your horses, chickens, or other farm animals!
Best of all, there are no CDD fees, no deed restrictions, and a voluntary HOA, offering the kind of freedom and flexibility that's hard to find in town.
Additional upgrades include:
New water heater (July 2025)
Over 40 years of single-owner care
Located on canopy-lined roads in a safe, tranquil neighborhood
