Under contract-accepting backup offers. Rarely do opportunities present themselves to acquire property in this Historic section of Ocala's Southeast Fifth Street. The desire for a gracious, private, in-town lifestyle is ever present and homes tend to be cared for through decades or generations of ownership. Centuries old Live Oaks embrace this .83 acre property and primary residence constructed in 1962. Renovation was completed in 1993 to bring the home to 3 bedrooms (one currently used as an office) and 4 full bathrooms. The living area comprises a comfortable 2936 square feet with total under roof of over 4400. Two bathrooms exude nostalgia for the 1950's with colorful tilework maintaining character of the original build. The owner's suite features dual bathrooms and the spacious kitchen, great room, together with formal dining and large screen enclosed deck, allow for seamless entertaining. In 1999, a 2 Bedroom, 1 bath pool house was added to provide comfort and privacy for overnight guests. Equipped with a kitchenette and sitting area, the space is sure to please. Its large brick porch overlooks the 16X32 foot pool and the potential for creating am amazing outdoor refuge is undeniable. The pool house also includes a large, air-conditioned workshop/storage area, perfect for your hobbies. A-rated Eighth Street Elementary and Osceola Middle schools are within walking distance as are Historic downtown Ocala's art walks, farmer's market, restaurants, galleries and boutiques. Our two local hospitals are less than 1 mile away. Golf carts are welcomed and competition is always fierce for the Holiday Decoration awards presented by the Historic Ocala Preservation Society or "HOPS" as they are locally known. This home has been well-cared for by its current owners for the past 32 years. The roof was replaced in 2022 and air-conditioner in 2023. Whole house backup generation is provided by a new Generac 26KW natural gas unit and auto-throwover switch for peace of mind during power outages. The lot measures 110 feet wide by 330 feet deep providing ample capacity for home expansion or a high-quality rebuild. Homes in this prestigious section of Fifth Street rarely come onto the market, making this an extraordinary opportunity to secure this property.
