About this home
PRICE REDUCTION!! This BIG, BEAUTIFUL home is waiting for just the right owner to call it "HOME SWEET HOME"! Located in the heart of Babson Park, this tri-level, immaculately maintained & move-in ready home is spacious, boasting 5 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, and has all the peace and comfort you've been searching for! The home sits on .58 of an acre and boasts lovely garden and nature views from every angle. Completely fenced and thoughtfully designed, the grounds have mature, graceful trees, a multitude of fruit bearing vegetation (banana, papaya, ginger, avocado, gandules, pineapple, peppers, & more!), as well as flowering plants that attract birds and butterflies to the oasis. The primary suite's second story balcony, as well as the relaxing swings positioned around the home, provide welcome opportunities for those much needed serenity breaks. The home has been updated and upgraded over the last several years including a new roof, new A/C, new septic system, new double pane windows & glass doors, new water softening system, gutters, fresh exterior paint, a remodeled kitchen with granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances, & a reverse osmosis filtration system, new flooring, an eight camera security system with remote monitoring features, an outdoor Bluetooth sound system to enjoy your favorite tunes while you relax or entertain in the awesome outside living spaces, & ultra convenient, remote controlled outdoor lighting. There are two primary suites (one on the first floor, one on the second) and a bonus room at the lower level that could be used as an office space, entertainment/gaming room, crafting space, extra storeroom, etc. The family room and primary suite on the first floor have a separate rear entrance and could easily be converted to an in-law suite or rental space. The home also has numerous large closets providing more than ample storage space. The owner has designed a very resourceful 825 gallon rainwater catchment system which is used to provide the gardens with nature's best hydration. Park your vehicles in the attached two-car garage which also has workspace benches and storage shelving. The property has plenty of additional parking space, too, for larger families and/or for those who enjoy entertaining. The storage shed has electricity and A/C! And let's not forget to talk about location; Babson Park is a tiny town (not even a traffic light!) located just minutes from Webber International University and a short distance to shopping, medical facilities, and other essentials. Yet, positioned about ninety minutes from either Orlando or Tampa, you are still close enough to enjoy big city life, if and when you choose to; you truly can get away from the hustle and bustle of big city life, but still have all the advantages within your daily reach! You really must see this home in person to appreciate all of its awesome amenities! Schedule your private showing today to see why Babson Park is an amazing place to call home!
