Room for everyone on nearly 2.5 gated acres: a 1,792 sq ft bungalow with a brand-new roof, a 492 sq ft detached guest house (2,284 sq ft of living space in all), plus a separate hobby house with electric and large storage shed. Create the homesteading lifestyle you've been imagining in the wide open spaces. The screened, enclosed porch is made for Florida's year round lifestyle: morning coffee, evening breezes, and room to unwind while you look out over your own gated acreage. Peace on earth! This beautifully preserved 1940s retreat is filled with vintage character and has been genuinely cared for through the years, now freshly relaunched with a brand-new roof for even greater peace of mind. The AC is in excellent condition, the wiring has been updated, pest maintenance has been performed every three months, and recent improvements also include a new water heater and refurbished side porch. Surrounded by higher-end estates, the property offers AS-1 zoning, no HOA, no CDD, and no flood insurance required. That zoning gives you the freedom to make the property work for your lifestyle — bring your plans. The main home welcomes you with generously sized bedrooms, comfortable living spaces, and an oversized dining room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, creating a natural gathering place for family and friends. It's perfect for holiday gatherings. The renovated guesthouse adds wonderful flexibility for extended family, multigenerational living, a private office, or creative space, while the separate hobby house gives you dedicated room for the passions and projects that deserve a place of their own. With nearly 2.5 acres, there is still plenty of room for gardens, workshops, additional storage, recreational areas, or whatever fits your vision. Step outside to a peaceful oasis of mature landscaping, fruit trees, and an abundant supply of avocados, with a fence already in place for your furry Fidos. Enjoy morning coffee on the screened porch, plenty of room for RV parking, and convenient access to I-4, Tampa, and Orlando. Whether you're drawn to the charm of bungalow living, the flexibility of a guesthouse, the freedom of acreage, or simply the privacy of wide-open surroundings, this is more than a home. It's a place to settle in, breathe deep, and live freely — with a brand-new roof overhead.
