Have you been searching for a NEWER, yet AFFORDABLE home with a reasonable commute to all things Central Florida that’s BELOW $400K?! You found it! Welcome to your future home, nestled within the tranquil community of Waterside at Estates at Cherry Lake! Built in 2020, this 2-story, open floorplan home rests amidst the picturesque rolling hills of Lake County and benefits from low HOA fees that provide deeded access to Cherry Lake. The home is also equipped with solar panels (OWNED with a payment plan) that will be transferred to you as the new owner (along with the monthly payment) and can potentially help keep you low as energy costs rise, especially once owned outright. This distinctively designed home boasts a large master bedroom, 3 additional bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a loft, an inside laundry room, and close to 1,900 square feet under air. With a living/dining room combo and a half bath downstairs, the home is built with both privacy and functionality in mind for entertaining or relaxing downstairs, while simultaneously giving you an expansive living area that doesn’t invade on your personal space(s). As you enter the home and head down the hall, you’ll immediately enjoy the open concept floor plan with bright natural lighting throughout. You have a beautiful kitchen complete with stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, 42" cabinets, recessed lights, and a dry pantry. The sliding door in the dining area provides access to the newly added outdoor paved patio area. Bonus?! You have a built-in firepit and the backyard is fully fenced! Upstairs? A loft with a partial view of Cherry Lake! Perfect for relaxing or just getting away from someone downstairs (sometimes it’s needed)! The upstairs also features all the bedrooms, and a sizable inside laundry room which comes with the washer and dryer included in your purchase. The spacious master bedroom, located in front of you as you come up the stairs (and split from the other rooms) boasts a large size, an ensuite bathroom with a large shower, dual vanities, a private toilet, and a large walk-in closet. Like the kitchen, the bathroom is graced with beautiful quartz finishes. Outdoors, the paved area provides fun in the sun or entertainment by the fire pit on those cooler evenings. The location of the home also offers DEEDED access to Cherry Lake, AND walking proximity to a new Groveland city park, complete with trails, a basketball court, and planned future expansions. Cyclists can explore the nearby bike trails, and the Lakeridge Winery, less than 2 miles away, offers a delightful visit. With easy access via the FL Turnpike, US 27, or US 19, the home is conveniently located near downtown Groveland and Clermont. There are also 4 other state/ county / city parks within 15-20 minutes of the home. It's a perfect fit for Orlando commuters and those working in cities off US 27. The community's single entry and exit point add a layer of security, enhanced by a nearby fire station nearby (helps with lower insurance also). Seller is also offering $5,000 toward buyer's closing costs to use for whatever purpose they want. Whether you use it for a 1-0 buydown of your rate or decrease closing costs - it's yours to use how you'd like!
