Property Description

Virtually Staged. NEARLY AN ACRE, A 52-FOOT HEATED LAP POOL, AND BEAUTIFULLY RENOVATED FLORIDA LIVING! Welcome to 442 N. Cherry Pop Drive, where peaceful surroundings, thoughtful updates, and the Florida lifestyle come together! Set back from the road on a beautifully landscaped .99-acre lot in an established Inverness neighborhood, this 3BR, 2.5BA home makes a wonderful first impression with two fruit-bearing loquat trees flanking the driveway entrance, an inviting circular driveway, mature landscaping, and an attractive side-entry two-car garage. Step through the double-door entrance and discover a home that beautifully blends modern updates with classic Florida character! Extensively renovated since 2023, walls were removed to create a bright, open-concept floor plan connecting the kitchen, dining, and living spaces. The beautifully remodeled kitchen is the heart of the home, featuring quartz countertops, a gorgeous tile backsplash, a generous center island, and stainless steel appliances. Luxury vinyl plank flooring enhances the main living areas, while the bedrooms and bathrooms feature terrazzo flooring. A charming breakfast nook offers lovely views of the pool. The split-bedroom floor plan provides privacy and flexibility. The spacious primary suite features direct access to the lanai, a walk-in closet, and a beautifully updated bathroom with an oversized tiled walk-in shower. Both additional bathrooms have also been renovated, bringing a fresh, modern feel throughout the home. And then there's the outdoor living! An impressive 16' x 52' heated lap pool takes center stage, with a spacious covered lanai, all within one expansive screened pool enclosure. The pool heater and screening were replaced approximately three years ago. Whether you're swimming your morning laps, entertaining friends, or simply unwinding with your favorite beverage, this is Florida living at its finest! Beyond the pool, the sprawling backyard offers peaceful green views and a wonderful variety of trees and shrubs that attract beautiful birds. Nearly an acre of your very own Florida retreat! The thoughtful improvements continue with a NEW ROOF 2021, NEW HVAC 2024 (recently serviced), and WATER HEATER replaced approximately 2023. Smart-home conveniences include a smart thermostat and smart irrigation system. A whole-house Culligan water softening and filtration system, along with a separate reverse osmosis drinking-water system at the kitchen sink, conveys with the property. Additional conveniences include an interior laundry room with utility sink, cabinetry, and folding space, plus a side-entry two-car garage featuring extensive built-in storage and workspace. Located in charming Inverness, enjoy the appeal of historic downtown, local shops and restaurants, nearby lakes, parks, and the scenic Withlacoochee State Trail. The natural beauty of Florida's Nature Coast, including Crystal River and its famous springs, offers even more opportunities for outdoor adventures. Beautifully updated, surrounded by nature, and offering the space to truly enjoy Florida living, this home is ready for its next chapter.
