Welcome to this well-maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home in the established Marion Oaks community of Ocala. Offering approximately 1,850 square feet of living space, a spacious 464-square-foot 2-car garage, an inviting backyard and thoughtful construction details. Built in 1993 by the seller’s father, the home was constructed with extra attention to durability and craftsmanship, including metal plates connecting the girders and oversized eaves. The roof was replaced in 2023, the HVAC system was replaced in 2024, and the septic system, drainfield, and lines were replaced in 2022. Inside, you'll find newer flooring, custom blinds, and an acrylic-window sunroom that provides additional space to relax and enjoy the backyard. The home has never had a smoker, and the HVAC ducts were professionally cleaned approximately two years ago. An HVAC UV filter has also been added. Outdoor living is a standout feature. The fenced backyard includes a shed, metal gazebo, and an added 20' x 12' concrete patio, creating plenty of room for entertaining, relaxing, gardening, or enjoying Florida's year-round outdoor lifestyle. Additional improvements include new custom front door in 2022, gutters with downspouts and leaf guards, a whole-house water softener, and an automatic screen door on the garage. Located in Marion Oaks, residents have access to community amenities including the Marion Oaks Community Center, which features an auditorium, meeting rooms, library, and spaces for community activities and programs.
