5 EMERALD WAY, OCALA, FL 34472

Set back from the road at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac, this stunning home offers a unique split-story layout and a variety of updates throughout. Offering just over half an acre, this property is the largest lot on the cul-de-sac and features a long driveway with room for 6+ car or RV parking. Shaded and private, the home is surrounded by mature trees including live oaks and features thoughtful landscaping with drought-tolerant plants and fresh mulch in 2023. Spread amongst three levels, the home provides a total of 4-bedrooms and 3-full baths with a solid concrete block construction and a late mid-century style. The interiors are warm and welcoming with abundant natural light, neutral paint choices, and a combination of wood-look laminate, luxury vinyl, and tile throughout. All the shared spaces are located on the middle level, including an enormous foyer, living room, family room, kitchen, and formal dining room. The kitchen is perfectly equipped for those who enjoy cooking, with stainless steel appliances, pantry, new digital cooktop, granite counters, painted wood cabinetry, breakfast bar, cast iron Kohler sink, and much more. The adjacent formal dining space is huge, with plenty of space for an 8ft table and hutch if desired, and comes equipped with a new farmhouse style light fixture and direct access to the backyard. Perfect for multi-generational living, the lower level could be outfitted for use as a private in-law suite or guest accommodations with a little conversion. Even without conversion, this space has plenty of potential for use as a 5th bedroom if desired. Currently used as the laundry space, the lower level also features a wet bar area that could be converted to a kitchenette or entertaining space, or continue its use as a laundry area with sink and built-in storage. On the upper floor are all of the bedrooms, three of which share access to a full bathroom, and one of which comes with its own private balcony space. The primary suite is especially notable, with a larger layout, a huge walk-in closet, a private en-suite that was recently updated, and its own private upper-level deck with its own staircase down to the pool area. At the back of the home is a stunning 2-story screen enclosure which surrounds a sparkling in-ground pool and pool deck. This space is perfectly suited for entertaining year-round, and provides additional access to other yard areas. The backyard is incredibly large and includes a multi-level chicken coop for those looking to raise their own chickens. Multiple areas are fenced off from one another, allowing for pets to have their own space if desired, with vinyl privacy fencing around the perimeter for added tranquility. There are so many updates that should be noted, we recommend checking the attached documents for a more detailed overview. Located just a short drive from a variety of shopping, dining, event, and entertainment options, this property is a true gem that perfectly combines peace, convenience, and comfort!
