2216 SE 13th St, Ocala, FL 34471

Private and luxurious, this expansive estate property is located in the heart of Downtown Ocala. Over two acres of lush gardens and manicured lawns set the stage for this elegant, two story home. Originally built and owned by the family who operated Ocala Lumber, fine craftsmanship is seen throughout. Natural light floods the home and highlights the original wood floors, crown molding, and wainscoting. The almost 5,000 sq. ft. floor plan includes a master bedroom suite on the first floor, formal living and dining spaces, a spacious family room with wood burning fireplace, updated kitchen, two half-baths, inside laundry, and wonderful office space overlooking the spectacular backyard pool. An additional four bedrooms with two full bathrooms are found on the second floor, complete with upstairs laundry. Outdoor spaces abound - with an expansive rear porch and patio area surrounding a heated salt-water pool and spa. There is ample space for lawn games, a play-set that conveys with the home, and raised garden beds. The oversized three bay carport includes storage spaces and a half-bath. This home has been updated extensively including the addition of a Control4 Smart Home System that controls LED recessed lighting throughout the home, an interior & exterior audio-visual system, main entrance & service gates, and landscape lighting. Additional upgrades completed in 2021-22 include perimeter fencing, circular paver driveway, entrance columns and lighting, interior and exterior painting, landscaping enhancement, and irrigation well pump. Replacement of all HVAC units with a commercial grade system occurred in late 2020. Don't miss this unique opportunity to own one of Ocala's finest homes that has been meticulously maintained and carefully updated to enhance its original design.
