Resting within the quiet deed restricted equestrian community of Summit Downs, this picturesque countryside estate has a variety of design-oriented details just waiting to be discovered. The property's landscape is park-like with tall mature trees that provide gentle shade and mature landscaping surrounding the home. The home itself offers a total of 4-bedrooms, 3-full, and 2-half baths with an open, split-bedroom floor plan, crown molding, and lots of natural light throughout. The eat-in kitchen is well-suited for those who enjoy cooking with stainless steel appliances, custom wood cabinetry, pantry, and an adjacent breakfast nook complete with mitered window views out to the pool. Beyond the kitchen is the family room which features a cozy wood-burning fireplace flanked by built-in shelving, quarter circle windows, and a set of sliding glass doors out to the expansive pool deck. Bedrooms are all nicely spacious and equipped with walk-in closets, but the master suite is a real stand out with an en-suite bathroom equipped with dual vanities, walk-in shower, and a large garden tub. A formal dining area, office, formal living room, and laundry room round out some of the offerings within the home, providing plenty of flexibility to be used as you see fit. At the rear of the home is an expansive screened-in pool area complete with covered area for seating and a large pool deck surrounding the sparkling in-ground pool. For additional hosting options, there's also a second story space that could serve as a private guest suite or additional sitting area, with a separate bathroom and plenty of additional closet storage. Surrounded by community bridle trails but only 15 miles from the World Equestrian Center, 29 miles to Gainesville and just a short, scenic drive from Downtown Ocala's variety of shopping, dining, and event options, this countryside estate offers a private retreat without sacrificing convenience.
