Welcome to Hammock Ridge, a sought-after SW Gainesville subdivision. This stunningly crafted residence is situated on 2.01 acres of peaceful, picturesque landscape, offering private views of the pool, rear yard, and trees beyond. This charming 3-bedroom, plus office, 3-bathroom home, thoughtfully constructed in 2009, provides 2,314 SF of heated and cooled living spaces. Once inside, the home’s dining space is to the right, and the separate flex room/office space is on your left. Continue straight down the hallway toward the family room, complete with sliding glass doors that provide direct views of the covered lanai and pool area. The corner gas fireplace offers a modern wood mantle; the fireplace has a stacked stone façade that is floor to ceiling, with a separate hearth that spans the angled wall. The vaulted ceiling in the family room and kitchen give these two rooms their spacious feel. The chef’s kitchen features real wood cabinetry with crown trim, a center prep island with drawers and cabinets for storage, and a corner pantry. The counters are neutral granite, including the center prep island. The home offers the perfect work triangle for those who like to cook, with a pot filler directly behind the gas cooktop, built-in oven, convection microwave, and refrigerator all within footsteps of each other. Additional casual seating is offered by the raised breakfast bar. To the right of the kitchen is the separate laundry room that connects to the 2-car garage. To the left is the master suite, complete with a large walk-in closet and a step-up tray ceiling trimmed with crown molding. The en suite bathroom features a separate soaking tub and separate vanities. There is a walk-in shower with a built-in bench under the showerhead and a built-in shampoo/soap niche. There is a linen closet for storage. Across the home from the master is the guest hallway. To the left is the first guest room with a double door closet. Between it and the second guest room is the full guest bathroom, which offers a single sink vanity with drawers and cabinets for storage, a matching wood trim mirror, and a bathtub/shower combination. The second guest room has its own bathroom that serves as the pool bath, which has its own door to the lanai. The sliding glass doors open onto the covered lanai, that easily accommodates a table with six chairs and your grills for barbequing. The open-air paver lanai surrounds the in-ground pool. The entire rear yard is completely fenced, including privacy panels that shield the pool area for maximum privacy. The privacy panels are also solar lit for evening ambiance. Retain nearly one-fifth more heat with the open-air pool, extending the use of your pool during the year.
