295 E LAKE ST Umatilla, FL 32784

ADORABLE, HISTORIC, RENOVATED 3 BR COTTAGE LOCATED IN CHARMING, HOMETOWN UMATILLA. Leave the hustle and bustle of busy traffic behind as you arrive at charming downtown Umatilla, which welcomes you with a perceptible slower pace and fewer cars on the road. Forget the concrete jungle. Here, you will find sparkling lakes, swaying palms, and lush oak trees flanking either side of the main road as you drive into town. Historic homes, parks, and locally owned businesses offer that small, hometown feeling many of us long for. Take a few side streets that meander past parks, school baseball fields, and lush open land and arrive at this tranquil neighborhood where you will find this lovingly restored cottage brimming with charm and character but offering peace of mind, knowing everything has been recently updated and checked out. The curb appeal is off the charts, with a majestic, moss-laden Oak gracefully lending just the right amount of shade to the freshly painted and sealed, gabled metal roof. A paver walkway beckons you to the inviting front porch, an ideal spot for the quintessential porch swing or rocking chairs where you can leave your stresses and cares behind. Sip your morning coffee here or invite your neighbor to sit and visit. Step through the front door and be greeted with an almost new home thanks to the thoughtful updates and renovations recently completed. Enjoy new wiring, plumbing, wood-look tile flooring, new kitchen, bathrooms, HVAC, interior/exterior paint, wide crown molding and baseboards, wood-framed double-pane windows, and so much more. The bright and airy interior is open concept with a decorative fireplace in the living area and ample space for a dining table next to the attractive kitchen with new cabinetry and countertops. Through the hallway is a convenient guest half bath and a dedicated laundry closet with shelving and a utility sink. The beautiful primary suite offers multiple closets and an elegant en-suite with dual vessel sinks resting upon a granite countertop. Two guest bedrooms share the renovated Jack and Jill full hallway bathroom with dual sinks and a tiled tub/shower. Home has a Transferable Termite Bond. Step outside and onto the rear deck, an ideal spot for your grill. Enjoy the privacy-fenced backyard, including an adorable, custom-designed chicken coop if you fancy having your own fresh eggs! What an idyllic property and town that could be your next home.
