Located on an oversized homesite in the heart of Inverness, Florida, just 40 miles from Ocala, this setting blends the charm of rural living with convenient access to larger cities and modern amenities. Surrounded by carefully preserved natural resources, the area provides abundant opportunities for outdoor recreation and exploration, and is only 3 miles from Connell Lake. The Marigold captures that Florida spirit through a thoughtfully designed layout that emphasizes style, comfort, and flexibility. A welcoming foyer opens into an expansive open-concept design where the great room serves as the central gathering space, ideal for both entertaining and everyday living. The kitchen anchors the home with a large island for casual dining, quartz countertops, generous shaker cabinetry, a full line of stainless steel appliances including an ENERGY STAR side-by-side refrigerator, and a well-planned pantry that keeps everything organized and within reach. Adjacent to the great room, a versatile flex space adapts easily to a variety of uses such as a dining area, craft room, sitting room, or home fitness space. A sliding glass door from this area extends the living experience outdoors to a rear patio, creating a natural flow between indoor comfort and outdoor relaxation. All bedrooms are thoughtfully arranged for both privacy and convenience. Two secondary bedrooms are positioned at the front of the home, one featuring a walk-in closet, and share a full bath, creating an ideal setup for guests or flexible living needs. An additional bedroom is privately situated toward the rear of the home. The primary suite serves as a peaceful retreat, featuring a well-appointed bath with dual vanities, a walk-in shower, and a spacious walk-in closet designed for everyday ease. A centrally located laundry area connects directly to the two-car garage, providing efficient access along with additional storage options for vehicles and household essentials. Smart home features enhance daily living with a Ring Video Doorbell, smart thermostat, keyless entry smart door lock, and Deako switches. Additional highlights include cordless blinds, professional landscaping, irrigation, architectural shingles, and a full builder warranty. Designed with durability and comfort in mind, The Marigold delivers a refined living experience well suited for Florida’s lifestyle, whether enjoying quiet moments or hosting gatherings.
