If you've been looking for a beautiful country setting close to modern amenities, this captivating residence in Dogwood Estates could be the perfect home for you! A long driveway with a built-in turnaround nestles this gem right into the tree line of a 1.2 acre parcel. It also backs onto a wooded DRA lot, so privacy is paramount with no rear neighbors in sight. Located less than a mile away from the Brooksville Country Club, this gem offers golfers easy access to a premier, semi-private course, as well as the full-service bar and grill and the pro shop. Step inside to discover a beautifully maintained interior with wood, laminate, and wood-look tile flooring; the AC was replaced in 2016 for added comfort. The dining room, bathed in natural light, is generously sized, providing an ideal setting for big gatherings or intimate family meals. The spacious living room features a skylight, beamed ceiling, and a stone-accented fireplace and wet bar. It creates a warm and inviting atmosphere where you could invite the whole crew over for an epic game night, or just curl up with your nearest and dearest and enjoy the play of light and shadow from the flickering flames beneath the mantle. It doesn't matter if you're an amateur cook or a pro chef, because this kitchen is a delight with its light and bright ambiance, granite counters, deep farmhouse sink, and a built-in desk; there's even a large eating nook crowned by a unique wine bottle chandelier. The former Florida room, enclosed and transformed with sliding barn-style doors, presents a versatile space suitable for a home office, den, or even a 4th bedroom. A generously-sized primary bedroom is a tranquil and private retreat, thanks to a split-bedroom floor plan. The ensuite primary bathroom offers dual sinks, a jetted tub, and a separate shower for a spa-like experience every day. Two additional sizable guest bedrooms share a well-appointed guest bathroom with a tub/shower combo. Grab a glass of sweet tea or a pitcher of lemonade, and head out to the large screened back porch, where you can unwind with a spectacular view of the huge backyard and the wooded lot beyond. Not to worry - it's been enclosed with new fencing in 2021, so your little ones or pets have a place to play safely. Beyond the peace of this lovely abode, the charm of downtown Brooksville awaits less than 10 minutes to the west. You'll love the cobblestone streets lined with classic mom-and-pop shops and restaurants; there's plenty of shopping, a library, and schools nearby. You're conveniently situated between I-75 to the east and US-41 to the west for easy access to Tampa and its modern amenities.
