17498 SE 74TH RAES HALL AVENUE

Welcome to the QUIETER side of The Villages! Tucked away at the end of a cul-de-sac, this home offers the kind of PRIVACY and SERENITY that’s hard to find — set on over a 1/3 ACRE HOMESITE backing to the Kelsea Louise Morse PRESERVE and even a local farm… which means NO REAR NEIGHBORS and peaceful views to enjoy every day. This 3-bedroom (one without a closet), 2½-bath Block & Stucco Designer is far from a typical Grand Ficus. Thoughtful modifications throughout make this truly a one-of-a-kind home. Both the Primary and Guest Bedrooms feature their own private EN-SUITE BATHROOMS and walk-in closets — ideal for hosting family and friends. There’s also a convenient half bath off the entry, and the enclosed den with double pocket doors offers flexibility as an additional guest space (no closet), craft room, office, or quiet personal retreat. Step outside and you’ll understand what makes this setting so special. The covered lanai opens to a spacious patio with a birdcage, plus an additional large patio with pergola — the perfect spaces to relax, entertain, or simply soak in the peaceful surroundings. And while you’re just about 1/10 mile from Chatham Recreation Center, there’s still plenty of room if adding your own pool is in your future plans. From the moment you walk through the double leaded-glass entry doors, you’ll feel right at home. The light and bright open floorplan, vaulted ceilings, and abundant natural light create a welcoming atmosphere. The kitchen is both beautiful and functional, featuring a sunny eat-in area with bay windows overlooking the FABULOUS SETTING! You’ll love the Black Stainless appliances, natural gas range, granite counters, white cabinetry with generous pull-out drawers (even in the pantry!), and thoughtful layout designed for everyday living. The Primary Suite is a relaxing retreat with double-door entry, a large walk-in closet, and an en-suite bath offering a tiled shower, dual rectangular sinks with granite counters, and a solar tube for added natural light. The indoor laundry is conveniently tucked away just off the primary bath. Throughout the home you’ll find beautiful tile and laminate flooring — NO carpet. The OVERSIZED 25’ deep garage provides versatile space for 2 cars and a golf cart or 1 car and 2 golf carts (depending on size). Location? It’s hard to beat. You’re just a short golf cart ride to multiple golf courses, pools, recreation centers, Nancy Lopez Legacy Country Club, Mulberry Grove Shopping Plaza, Spanish Springs Town Square, and Lake Sumter Landing — plus major medical and so much more. Additional features include a paver driveway, window blinds and cornices, wainscoting, attic stairs, workbench, gutters, and more. And for peace of mind: Roof replaced in 2020, HVAC in 2022, and Water Heater in 2023. Move right in with NO worries. .PLEASE NOTE: The MLS “View” reflects “Trees/Woods” and “Water” since a “Preserve” option is not available — this is simply a system limitation and not intended to mislead.
