LIGHT UP YOUR LIFE!… SUN DRENCHED & ABOUNDING WITH BRIGHTNESS, this WELL CARED FOR GEM is nestled on 1.24 acres in the DESIRABLE EQUESTRIAN COMMUNITY of Pine Ridge Estates! Driveway and walkway with herringbone patterned pavers make a perfect first impression. Once through the screen enclosed entry, take note that each and every inch of the 2196 sqft open floor plan is just completely soaked with an abundance of natural light that radiates throughout from the multitude of windows, eyebrow arches, skylights, French doors and sliders. The vaulted ceilings and numerous plant shelves bring continuity throughout. A focus wall adorned with the grand simplicity of Tuscan columns with header and archway provide a warm welcome to all that enter. The tiled foyer divides the formal sitting and dining room and leads to the rest of the home. Follow the light beyond these elegant formal rooms to a spacious, open family area where everyone is connected to food, conversation and good times. The living room boasts 2 skylights and a 3-panel stacking slider that extends the family fun out onto the covered lanai with pavers and a screen enclosed 12’x24’ Barcelona shaped pool. The Navigator automatic pool cleaner and spare pool pump motor are a plus! The kitchen features plenty of cabinetry and countertop space, breakfast bar, walk-in pantry, 2 additional skylights and breakfast nook. The separate study is an eye catcher with its pocket doors and eyebrow opening above, the parallel plant shelves and the peak of the vault up the center of the room. After a busy day of work and play, there’s nothing like retiring to the comforts of the master bedroom with ensuite. A walk-in closet with organizers and a soak in the garden tub await. Alarm System is a bonus! Outdoor space features full landscaping, 8 zone Rainbird Irrigation System, shed and detached 20’x24’ garage/workshop with Window A/C unit and dehumidifier. NO FLOOD ZONE! Downtown Crystal River & Gulf of Mexico are about 10 miles away for boating, fishing, kayaking, & the only place to SWIM WITH THE MANATEES! A FREE 1 YR HOME WARRANTY FOR PEACE OF MIND IS OFFERED TO THE FUTURE BUYER!
