10400 SW 69TH CT Ocala, FL 34476

Kick back and enjoy quiet country living in the lovely 3/2, 1800 sq. ft. home nestled among shady giant oaks in the established Ocala equine community of Fox Run Estates. You would never know that it's less than 10 minutes to numerous shoppes, restaurants, grocery stores, and healthcare facilities along the S.R. 200 corridor! Three lovely acres of lush pasture are enclosed by three board fencing which was upgraded recently. Inside the 3 acres is a 1.5-acre paddock fenced for horses and small animals. It's your very own dog park!

The home's interior is spacious and pleasing. Vaulted ceilings provide natural light and space in the foyer, living room, large family room, master bedroom, bath, and kitchen. There are several elevated beams for plants. NO CARPET! Real hardwood floors and tile throughout the house make for easy cleaning. The 17x9 ft. kitchen has an eat-in breakfast bar that opens to the family room, permitting the cook to see, converse, and serve food to guests. There is also a small area for a table and chairs. A huge copper pot rack in the kitchen and a 200-gallon aquarium between the kitchen and the 18x13 ft. family room do convey. All vertical blinds, window coverings, and five ceiling fans also convey.

Back outside, a huge car pad fronts the 2.5 vehicle garage. The house perimeter is tastefully landscaped with many types of shrubbery and beautiful flowers. A rustic 152 sq. ft. pond with a fountain is stocked with goldfish. The butterfly garden and a hummingbird retreat complete the landscape. Spring brings a wall of jasmine which climbs up the trees near the fish pond and makes a lovely fairy garden. There is also a navel orange tree which bears sweet oranges in November.

Two gentle, beautiful horses belonging to neighbors now graze the paddock. This arrangement is easily terminated, but the rental agreement can be continued if you like horses without the work.

What is new? The A/C was replaced in 2019 with UV light, the septic drain field in 2021, the water tank and switches in 2018, the refrigerator, stove, and garage door opener in 2020. The roof was replaced with architectural shingles in 2010.
