Spacious home on nearly an acre with a rural feel, yet close to everything in Mandarin. Step through the front door into a vaulted family room with exposed beams and a floor to ceiling gas fireplace. The designated dining area leads to a large kitchen with granite countertops and a breakfast bar. A Florida Gator themed powder bath adds character near the entry. Down the hall are two bedrooms, a full bath, laundry room, and a bonus room ideal for storage or a playroom. The wooden stairway leads to a loft and oversized owner's suite with two closets, bathroom and an extra room perfect for an office, nursery or huge closet. Enjoy the views of the backyard pool and spa from the upstairs balcony. Hot summer days will have you splashing in the pool. The pool is also wired and plumbed for heating on the not so cool days. The backyard is perfect for creating your own private oasis. A perfect blend of charm, space and location. Roof was just replaced in 2024.
