Additional improvements include replaced interior light fixtures, updated ceiling fans around the pool, new bedroom carpeting installed in 2021, and both HVAC systems replaced in 2019. Outside the screened enclosure, the fenced corner lot offers additional privacy and outdoor space, while Laurel Run stream borders the property and winds throughout the community, adding a distinctive natural backdrop. With its updated interiors, chef-quality kitchen, multiple entertaining areas, screened pool, sauna, flexible bedroom configuration, and desirable Southeast Ocala location, this home delivers the space, amenities, and setting buyers are searching for. This is more than a home—it is a private Florida retreat designed for living well.
