What makes it even more appealing is the low HOA fee of just $320/year and no costly CDD. Situated within Country Oaks, a well-established community with mature landscaping and wide streets, residents here enjoy access to a gated community pool and two tennis courts—amenities that support a relaxed, active lifestyle and opportunities to connect with neighbors. Adding to its appeal, the property is right around the corner from Conservatory Park Reserve, a breathtaking 55-acre haven that invites outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy shaded walking trails, a serene fishing lake, picnic areas, a playground, and a fitness circuit. Whether it’s morning outings with your dog, weekend family picnics, or quiet sunset strolls, this park elevates the outdoor lifestyle to an unmatched level. However, this home is more than a picturesque retreat—it’s an “as-is” sale and a true renovation project. The home requires comprehensive updates, including a new roof, HVAC, kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, siding, and pool heater. For investors, builders, or visionary buyers, this is an extraordinary opportunity to reimagine a property with robust architectural foundations and limitless potential. This is not just a renovation; it’s a chance to craft a lifestyle rooted in space, serenity, and possibility. With the right updates, this property could transform into a one-of-a-kind haven, offering enduring value and daily moments of joy.
