The story
Space, privacy, and the freedom of 5 acres, without giving up convenience. Welcome to this 3 bed, 2 bath property tucked away on a quiet dead-end road and surrounded by the charm of one of Central Florida's most quaint communities. Set on approximately 5 acres, this property offers the rare opportunity to enjoy room to breathe, spread out, and create the lifestyle you've been looking for while remaining within easy reach of larger surrounding communities and everyday amenities. With no HOA, you have the freedom to make the property your own. Inside, the home is bright, open, and designed with both everyday living and entertaining in mind. Tile flooring flows throughout the main living areas, while the enclosed Florida room features vinyl flooring and an abundance of natural light, creating a versatile space with endless possibilities for a hobby room, additional sitting area, playroom, studio, or simply a place to enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Two sets of double doors connect the living room to the Florida room, allowing the spaces to flow seamlessly together. A front screened porch provides another inviting spot to sit back, relax, and take in the views. The spacious living room features beautiful cypress walls, a cozy fireplace, and an open connection to the kitchen and Florida room. The generous kitchen offers wood cabinetry, stone countertops, an eat-in area, a breakfast bar that opens to the living room, and two pantries for plenty of storage. A welcoming foyer provides a defined entry, while an additional office/flex room offers versatility and includes a closet and window, making it suitable for a bedroom if desired. The oversized primary suite provides plenty of room to create your own retreat, complete with a large walk-in closet. The primary bathroom has been refreshed with a new vanity, mirror and toilet. The spacious guest bedroom offers comfortable accommodations, while the guest bathroom features both a tub and shower. Plantation shutters throughout the home add timeless appeal and light control. New windows throughout the home are backed by a fully transferable lifetime warranty, providing added peace of mind. The home's wide hallways also offer comfortable wheelchair accessibility. A two-car garage and abundant storage add everyday functionality. The roof was replaced in 2017. New well. Outside, the possibilities are what truly set this property apart. Approximately 5 acres provide space for gardening, recreation, entertaining, animals, hobbies, or simply enjoying the peace and privacy that is increasingly hard to find. The backyard is fenced and features a spacious deck that can easily be expanded to create even more outdoor living space. The property is beautifully established with mature oak, sweet gum, magnolia, and maple trees, creating shade, character, and a natural backdrop for the abundant wildlife that calls the property home. The acreage features a mixture of improved and native grasses, adding to its natural appeal and versatility. Located in beautiful Lake Helen, you'll experience a slower pace and small-town charm while still being close enough to larger hubs for shopping, dining, employment, entertainment, and everything else you need. If you've been searching for acreage, privacy, and a peaceful setting, but don't want to feel completely removed from the rest of the world, this Lake Helen property deserves a look. Cattle, portable panels, feed bunks, and round bale rings do not convey.
