Virtually Staged. A little ranch with a BIG story to tell! Built in 1978 and full of MID-CENTURY soul, this home has been impeccably maintained and tastefully updated by its ORIGINAL OWNER… and that pride of ownership shows! BIG on LAND, BIG on PRIVACY, with plenty of room to breathe… and just a little tucked away. Moss-draped live oaks, magnolias, & lush natural foliage frame this charmer on 0.87 ACRE, creating a rare sense of seclusion. Yet it's BIG on LOCATION, too: a straight shot home from I-4's Exit 108, just north of the St. Johns River, for an easy commute to Orlando; and the SUNRAIL and GEMINI SPRINGS PARK are just around the corner with walking/biking trails, dog park, fishing and canoe/kayak access. Beyond the double leaded-glass entry doors, the house thinks BIG. A spacious foyer opens to the great room, where VAULTED CEILINGS soar, exposed WOOD BEAMS stretch overhead, and a ROUND BLACK FREESTANDING FIREPLACE holds court on its raised STONE HEARTH—a retro showpiece that can't be faked. It anchors generous living and dining areas, with large windows overlooking the oaks. The kitchen is BIG on storage and full of little details to love: crisp WHITE CABINETRY, GRANITE countertops, a floor-to-ceiling pantry cabinet, DOUBLE WALL OVENS, and a DOUBLE-DRAWER DISHWASHER. A peninsula opens to the great room, keeping the cook close to the conversation and the fireside glow, while the garden window offers a sunny perch for herbs above the sink. Just two bedrooms… but BIG ones! Set at opposite ends of the house, each one feels like its own little retreat. Through a door off the great room, the primary suite spans the full width of the home, w/an ENSUITE bath, a separate dressing area, and a walk-in closet. The second bedroom features a wide window and two closets, with the second bath nearby. Granite-topped vanities add a polished touch to both baths and the dressing area, and each bath has a WALK-IN SHOWER. Little extras make a BIG difference, too. Large-format gray tile flows throughout the foyer, hall, kitchen, and baths, and ample closets keep the essentials neatly out of sight. A BUILT-IN DRY BAR with warm wood cabinetry adds a dose of vintage character and a handy spot for entertaining. At the end of the hall, a sizable laundry room has cabinetry, and the little door beside it leads to something BIG: a 44-foot SCREEN PORCH! Also reached through the dining area's wide sliding glass doors, it offers a wall of green along its entire length. It's made for fresh air, morning coffee, and lingering a little longer. A short walk beneath the COVERED BREEZEWAY leads to the BIGGEST surprise of all: an OVERSIZED 22' x 36' DETACHED THREE-CAR GARAGE! Nothing little about it! Built in 2007 with windows, a side entry, and shelving galore, it offers room for vehicles, tools, hobbies, and every project on the someday list. A BIG passion… a little tinkering… and finally, a place for it all! A little peace of mind comes from some BIG updates: a brand new septic system and drain field will be installed prior to closing; new roof (2020), Generac generator (2021), luxury vinyl plank flooring in the great room and bedrooms (2026), fresh interior paint (2026), new water heater (2026), new exterior electrical panel (2026), and a newer Square D interior panel. Hurricane prep is a breeze with MOTORIZED HURRICANE SHUTTERS closing at the touch of a button. BIG-ticket items, already checked off. Little ranch, BIG story… with a whole new chapter waiting to be written.
