Description

Welcome to one of Longleaf’s most unique and sought-after floor plans! This beautifully designed 4 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom home offers an incredible sense of space with soaring 25-foot ceilings, an open-air second floor, and abundant natural light throughout. The layout lives much larger than expected, with a rare upstairs loft/balcony bonus space ideal for a home office, study area, reading nook, or additional living space. The primary suite is conveniently located on the main floor, while three generously sized bedrooms upstairs provide exceptional flexibility for family, guests, hobbies, or work-from-home needs. The open-concept kitchen features quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, ample cabinetry, and two separate dining spaces for both everyday living and entertaining. Situated on a prime corner lot directly across from Longleaf’s incredible amenities, this home also enjoys added privacy with no future construction directly behind or to the west of the property. Step outside to a low-maintenance backyard complete with extended pavers and turf, creating the perfect space to relax or entertain year-round. An additional upgrade is the high-end commercial epoxy garage floor coating backed by a lifetime guarantee — perfect for a home gym, workshop, additional entertaining space, or simply keeping the area protected, polished, and easy to maintain. Longleaf residents enjoy access to resort-style amenities including a zero-entry pool, fitness center, clubhouse, playground, basketball courts, and pickleball/tennis courts — all just steps away. Conveniently located near UF, Shands, the VA, shopping, restaurants, and top-rated schools.
