Under contract-accepting backup offers. Don’t miss out on this hidden gem, 4 bedroom 3 bathroom home nestled away in the quaint rolling hills of Minneola, Florida. This NO HOA home boasts a desirable, extremely hard-to-find finished walkout basement. The 1420 sq. ft. only includes the above grade main floor, however, the finished basement nearly doubles that to give you around 3,000 sq. ft. of living space. Downstairs you’ll find a large open family room/game room, full bathroom, a bedroom, and a large office with striking and useful built-in shelves. This could also easily be used as a great playroom or fifth bedroom. The future homeowner here can enjoy the rare find of a private, large fully fenced-in backyard space, overlooking beautiful, mature trees. This relaxing space can be enjoyed on the back patio just outside the walkout basement, or the deck on the main floor, or views from the living room and multiple bedrooms. The ROOF was replaced in 2018, and the A/C was replaced in 2020. You’ll find two laundry options in this home, including the large laundry room in the basement, as well as the washer dryer hook ups in the garage. Although there’s no HOA to worry about, this quiet community enjoys park areas, locked mailboxes at Central community location, as well as a large playground, picnic pavilion area, basketball court, and nearby dog park at the Minneola trailhead. Just beyond the backyard tree line, you’ll find the 12.5 miles South Lake Trail, which is a multi-use trail that connects to the Lake Minneola Scenic Trail and the West Orange Trail. This paved trail is popular with walkers, runners, bikers, and dogs. Entertainment, shopping, groceries and more are all nearby, and the proximity to the Florida Turnpike makes access to the Orlando airport and other destinations quick and easy. The Citrus Tower Shopping Center is only a half mile away, where you'll find many shopping options including Publix (grocery store), Belk department store, and more. The Citrus Tower, a beloved landmark built in 1956, is also nearby for you to enjoy the views and citrus grove history that makes Minneola in Lake County such a unique Florida treasure. When you’re ready for more fun and adventure, Orlando-area favorites like Disney World and Universal Studios are a short drive away, as well as the Orlando airport. Don’t miss this true hidden gem. It’s rare for a Central Florida home like this to hit the market. Schedule your private showing today.
