24 N Melbourne St, Beverly Hills, FL 34465

Turnkey, updated block home with built-in privacy and income potential in the centrally located non-HOA Beverly Hills neighborhood, ideal as a primary residence, first-time homebuyer opportunity, downsize-friendly residence, second Florida getaway home, or investment property. The home’s condition and recent updates position it well for a variety of financing options. This charming ranch offers 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, a living area, dining area, in-living-space laundry, and a bonus room with updated vinyl windows well suited as an office or flex space—designed for simplicity, efficiency, and ease of maintenance. Two front exterior entrances provide flexibility for a separate rental, in-law suite, or multi-generational living arrangement, creating potential for supplemental income or adaptable living space. The rear and side yards are fully fenced, with a wooden privacy fence along the rear boundary and one side boundary. A large cargo-style storage structure with roll-up door and ramp offers ideal space for equipment, recreational items, or tools. A .91-acre county-owned parcel adjoins the rear boundary, offering privacy and green space. Recent updates include luxury vinyl plank flooring (2025), a new electrical service panel (2025), recessed lighting (2025), two solar attic fans (2025), additional blown-in attic insulation (2025), four wall- and window-mounted climate control units (2025), new ceiling fans (2025), updated tub hardware, grab bar, and toilet (2025), a new front entry and storm door (2025), police and fire monitored home security system (2025), and fresh exterior paint (2025). The roof was installed in 2014 and the home is situated in Flood Zone X where no flood insurance is required. The home is served by public water and sewer and is located minutes from the new Shoppes at Black Diamond in Lecanto, with convenient access to the Suncoast Parkway, Crystal River, and Inverness. Crystal River offers access to Kings Bay, Three Sisters Springs, Hunter Springs Park, and a variety of waterfront dining and boating activities. Inverness features the historic downtown square, the Valerie Theatre Cultural Center, local shops and restaurants, and access to the Withlacoochee State Trail for biking and outdoor recreation. Proximity to the Suncoast Parkway places most of the Tampa Bay region within approximately an hour’s drive. Move-in-ready block homes with this level of updates, flexibility, and privacy—particularly appealing to first-time buyers, downsizers, or those seeking a low-maintenance Florida getaway—are rarely found at this price point.
