Welcome to this gorgeous one-owner Barry Bullard home in highly desirable Haile Plantation! Ideal for enjoying the outdoors in the award-winning community, this unique 3-bed, 2-bath Laurel Park home features lush front yard landscaping, a screened porch, sprawling back deck, partially fenced backyard and direct access to the paved Haile Trail that runs right behind the property. Although shaded by trees, the home soaks up the natural light streaming through all the double-paned commercial grade windows. Step inside and your breath will be taken away by the openness of the family room with its stunning floor to ceiling windows, floor to ceiling brick fireplace, vaulted ceiling and laminate wood flooring. To the right of the front door is a spacious dining room with large windows providing a magnificent view of the front yard. Stepping through to the kitchen, upgraded in 2015, you’ll discover a tray ceiling, quartz countertops, new cabinets with pullout drawers, built-in shelving and breakfast nook with a great view of the backyard. There’s a split floor plan with the owner’s suite off the kitchen and the other two generous guest rooms off the living room. The owner’s bath was remodeled in 2016 and includes separate vanities, large walk-in closet and walk-in shower. The guest bath with skylight, tub and shower was also remodeled in 2016. You’ll find fresh interior paint, new light switches, new sliding glass doors and new A/C blower motor. The side entry garage door was replaced in 2020 and the driveway was resurfaced in 2022. Located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, the property is zoned for top-rated schools, is just six miles to University of Florida, and is within one mile of Haile Village Center and the weekly Farmer’s Market. Enjoy running or walking your dog on the Haile Trail network that connects Laurel Park with schools, playgrounds, shops, restaurants and other neighborhoods throughout the community. Laurel Park fees are only $131/quarter and you can also get memberships to Haile Equestrian if you love horseback riding and the Hawkstone Country Club if you prefer 18 holes of golf, playing tennis, working out, swimming or taking part in dining and social activities.
