Welcome to your new home on the 5th green in Ocala Palms! This well-loved Royal Palm model is filled with thoughtful upgrades and charming touches throughout. From the moment you arrive, you’ll notice the curb appeal, with a pretty laurel oak tree in the front yard and a cozy sitting area by the entry—perfect for morning coffee or catching up with friendly neighbors. Step inside to an open floor plan that feels bright and welcoming, with vaulted ceilings and plenty of natural light. The kitchen sits at the front of the home and is framed by a lovely triple bay window—perfect for herb gardens or just watching the world go by while you cook. It features gorgeous quartz countertops, a stainless steel double sink, and modern appliances. There's even a ceiling fan with lights to keep things cool while you prep your favorite meals. The living and dining areas flow effortlessly into a spacious, climate-controlled lanai with porcelain tile, vertical blinds, two ceiling fans, and a retractable awning—ideal for relaxing or entertaining, all with a peaceful view of the 5th green. Step out onto the oversized patio (already reinforced for a future birdcage!) and imagine soaking in a hot tub under the stars—yes, it's wired and ready! The primary suite is roomy and serene with a tray ceiling, fan, and enough space for a king bed and all your furniture. The en-suite bath includes double sinks, a tub, a large walk-in shower, and plenty of storage. Guests will feel right at home in their own private wing with a spacious bedroom, walk-in closet, and updated guest bath. There’s also a separate office with two built-in desk spaces and loads of cabinet storage—great for remote work or hobbies. Enjoy the lovingly landscaped yard with camellias, crape myrtles, gardenias, azaleas, roses, and more. The 6-zone irrigation system (with a new rain gauge!) keeps it all looking beautiful year-round. Behind the home, a wide drainage retention area offers extra space and privacy between you and the rear neighbors. The 2-car garage is functional and clean, with built-in shelving, washer/dryer, and utility sink. Plus, 2022 roof, new plumbing, fresh paint throughout (including the garage and lanai), brand new AC ductwork, updated water heater and circulator pump—this home is truly move-in ready and has been meticulously maintained over the years.
