Property Description
Welcome to Tara Oaks, a captivating estate nestled beneath a canopy of majestic live oaks. Set on 3.5 acres of lush, sun-dappled grounds, this property embodies the serene beauty of Old Florida living. As you wander beneath moss-draped branches, you'll feel the grace and tranquility that define this exceptional home. This spacious five-bedroom, five-bathroom pool home includes a private in-law suite and a dedicated office, offering a versatile layout perfect for both relaxed family living and refined entertaining. A grand, sunlit staircase welcomes you inside, leading to formal living and dining rooms that radiate classic charm. At the heart of the home, a cozy family room with a fireplace overlooks the expansive screened lanai and sparkling pool, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience. The kitchen is a dream for chefs and busy families alike, featuring ample cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, and generous counter space ideal for hosting and meal prep. It flows effortlessly into both the formal dining room and casual dining areas. The in-law suite on the main floor includes its own living room, kitchenette, en suite bath, and private entrance via the pool area—perfect for multigenerational living or long-term guests. Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with a private sitting area that can double as an office or fitness space. French doors open to a balcony with stunning views of the pool and gardens. Three additional bedrooms—two with en suite baths and one with direct bath access—provide ample space for family or guests. Step outside to the expansive screened lanai, where mornings begin with coffee and birdsong, and evenings end with golden sunsets through the oaks. The resort-style pool and spa offer a private sanctuary for sun-soaked afternoons and relaxing nights. A former tennis court awaits your imagination—restore it for tennis, convert it for pickleball, or transform it into a garden or equestrian space. Zoned for agriculture, Tara Oaks welcomes horses, chickens, goats, or cows, allowing you to enjoy a rural lifestyle with modern comforts. The oversized two-car garage includes a workshop or storage area, ideal for hobbies or homesteading.
