1 Bahia Ln Ocala, FL 34472

Tucked at the end of a quiet, uniquely shaped cul-de-sac, this is the kind of home where childhood memories are made. Set on an expansive .41-acre lot, this property feels like its own little world-fully fenced, shaded by mature trees, and thoughtfully divided into two distinct outdoor spaces designed for the way families actually live. In the front, picture evenings gathered around the outdoor firepit-birthday parties, fall nights, or simply unwinding after a long day. In the back, a more private, peaceful setting unfolds-perfect for a future garden, playground, or even a pool where kids and adults alike can spend endless summer afternoons. Originally built in 1979 with a level of craftsmanship you can feel, this home has been carefully reimagined to stand apart from today's fast-built construction. Every renovation was made with intention-preserving its solid bones while creating a warm, modern space where a family can grow comfortably and confidently. Inside, the layout balances openness with flexibility. The beautifully updated kitchen flows seamlessly into the main living space, enhanced by dimmable recessed lighting and ceiling fans throughout. A separate formal dining area offers versatility-ideal as a playroom, game room, or creative space that evolves with your family's needs. The home features 4 bedrooms and 2 fully renovated bathrooms, along with a spacious indoor laundry room thoughtfully positioned near the main bedrooms for everyday convenience. Complete with a utility sink and a tankless water heater, there's no shortage of hot water-no matter how busy the household gets. Practical updates provide peace of mind, including a newer roof (2019), brand-new AC system (2025), and tankless water heater (2025), while connection to public utilities simplifies long-term maintenance. With NO HOA, a peaceful setting, and a neighborhood lined with mature trees, you'll enjoy a true "country-like" lifestyle-without giving up convenience. Located in Silver Springs Shores, you're just minutes from shopping, dining, and major routes like 441/301 and I-75, making a work commute to Ocala, Summerfield, Lady lake and The Villages a breeze. Day trips to Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville, Gainesville, or Daytona are also easily within reach. The local community center is just minutes away offering access to a gym, two pools, volleyball and basketball courts, and even an activity center that can be rented for birthdays and special events. Zoned for Emerald Shores and Lake Weir schools, with choice options including Forest High School. This isn't just a house-it's space to grow, room to breathe, and a place where your next chapter begins.
