Exquisite details and thoughtful design make this Royal Highlands residence the perfect blend of rural and modern living, just off the beaten path! Located on a huge lot totaling nearly an acre, this beauty has plenty of room for you to park your boat or RV, including a 50-amp hookup for the latter. Meticulously maintained from top to bottom, the roof and septic drainfield were replaced in 2020, while the AC was redone in 2015. Inside, natural light beams down from the skylights in the high, vaulted ceilings to gently illuminate the spacious open concept. Updated fans and light fixtures complement and enhance the space. Lovely laminate flooring in the living and dining rooms is stylish and easy to maintain, while newer plush carpeting adds an element of comfort to the bedrooms. Bright and breezy, the contemporary kitchen features gleaming stainless steel appliances, beautiful dark stone counters, custom backsplash, an island, and a sizable eating nook overlooking the backyard. Thanks to the split-bedroom floor plan, the primary bedroom remains a private respite; it's absolutely enormous, boasting its own access to the lanai and two walk-in closets. A dual sink vanity and a large walk-in shower await in the ensuite primary bathroom. The guest bedroom is also quite generously sized for the comfort of family or visitors. It's right across the hall from the convenient indoor laundry room, which provides transitional entry to the main house from the oversized 3-car garage. Through sliding glass doors, the extended screened lanai beckons with a view of the expansive backyard. The pergola with built-in bench seating just outside the back door covers an open patio where you could park your grill or create a small garden area. Irrigation? No sweat - the sprinkler system with a b-hyve controller will keep your lawn flourishing. There are no HOA fees or restrictions to contend with here, and the nearest cross street (Madrid) is paved. Royal Highlands is minutes away from tons of shopping and dining options, as well as Oak Hill Hospital, medical plazas, and the West Hernando Branch Library. Discover the magic of Florida's Adventure Coast at nearby Weeki Wachee State Park, where you can paddle down the river, see real mermaids, and even enjoy the water park, Buccaneer Bay, in the summer months. You're close to US-19, so Homosassa, Tarpon Springs, and Clearwater are easily accessible. But the Suncoast Parkway is also not far, so Tampa is about an hour south. Private showings are available! Don't miss this chance to experience Florida living at its finest - seize the day, and make this gorgeous property your home!
