MOTIVATED SELLER HAS SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED PRICE & IS WILLING TO HELP WITH BUYERS' CLOSING COSTS! They just don't build them like this anymore folks! Full of charm & hospitality, this beautiful house has stood the test of time and is ready to welcome you home:) High ceilings, a gorgeous staircase, recently polished original hardwood floors, a wood burning brick fireplace, & large windows inviting natural light, create the perfect blend of elegance & warmth. Vintage, arched windows are a lovely focal point of the dining room, which is adjacent to the kitchen for ease of serving meals. Your large kitchen has stainless steel appliances, new quartz countertops, & freshly painted cabinetry with updated hardware. Just off the kitchen, is a half bath (recently updated) & a convenient indoor laundry room equipped with a large storage closet. The remaining first floor room (w/walk-in closet) could be used as an entertainment room, arts & crafts studio, office, den, or fourth bedroom; the possibilities are endless ... Upstairs are three ample bedrooms with plenty of great closet space! The middle bedroom has a newly added & beautifully appointed en suite bathroom & the hall bathroom has also been recently updated. From the second story, you will enjoy wonderful views of the surrounding landscape & the multiple covered porch areas provide great outdoor areas for you to enjoy fresh air & company. A small basement houses your main electrical panel, water heater, & air handler. The carriage house could be used as your workshop/storage area & the connected two-car carport has a covered walkway leading to the house. Almost half an acre & graced with mature trees, there's also a large fenced backyard providing plenty of space for your outdoor activities. Most of the furnishings & decorations are included in the sale, too. The current owner has made significant investments in renovations & upgrades to the property, but an unexpected life event has resulted in the need to relocate closer to family. If you're looking to take refuge from the stress of larger cities, Babson Park is perfect! Outdoor recreation opportunities abound with nearby lakes, forestry lands, hiking trails, & parks. Local schools (including Webber International University), shopping, medical, & business needs are within a 10-15 minute drive & you're only ninety minutes from Orlando or Tampa. DON'T DELAY! COME SEE FOR YOURSELF WHY BABSON PARK IS AN AMAZING PLACE TO CALL HOME:)
