8601 E Dewey Robbins Rd, Howey In The Hills, FL 34737

Over 17 acres with a custom 2,400 square-foot, three bedroom, three-bath home plus 1,200 square-foot metal outbuilding with overhead roll doors. The home is on a paved road that leads you to the electric gate with entry keypad, then meander down the driveway, past the trees and pond area and up to this one-owner, well-maintained home. As it sits back off the road, it feels like it is on even more acreage. Whether you want seclusion but convenient access to major roads or to have animals, this spot is ideal! The front screened porch welcomes you into the home through the beveled glass front door with sidelights, and into the great room with vaulted ceilings. There is an electric, stone-hearth fireplace on one wall, just outside the library with a lot of built-in shelving and desk area. The living room has so many possible layouts. Use the bay window area as designed as the formal dining room and the large eat-in kitchen space for casual meals, or perhaps this can be a sitting area and the kitchen space is large enough to accommodate a large dining room table. Quadruple sliding and pocketing glass doors open off the great room onto a massive covered and screened rear porch that looks out over the gently sloping lands. Around the home, it has irrigation and is well manicured with grass, several trees on the property and around the circular driveway. The kitchen has tons of cabinets and countertops, but the butler's pantry is amazing! Over 12 feet long, there is an entire side of shelving that can serve as food and other storage, then the opposite wall has upper cabinets plus lower cabinets with pullouts and organizing drawers. The backsplash behind the counters is tiled and has a lot of outlets plus a small sink. You can truly entertain! Potlucks or catered events here mean all the food can stay hot or cook with any kitchen appliance needed. The kitchen itself has double ovens plus a built-in microwave, refrigerator, dishwasher and disposal. The primary suite was designed to have a sitting area at the front of the home, to let in all that light sitting by the window with a good book or comfy chair with a morning coffee. The dual walk-in closets are just outside the primary bath with double sinks, a garden tub and separate shower, and there is more! A separate room adjacent to the bath has another closet, luggage storage above, plus the room can be used for a nursery, office, workout room, or if you are a clothes aficionado, space for a massive closet system. There are three other true bedrooms and two full baths, plus another room that has many built-ins and is designed for an office. To recap, you have four bedrooms, three baths, a library, office and the bonus room off the primary bedroom. The laundry room also is oversized and has shelving and a table for folding. The two-car garage door at the front of the home and the one-car garage door on the left is perfect for a golf cart, additional toys, but you also have the 1,200 square-foot outbuilding. This has a concrete slab floor, two rollup doors and has lighting and full electric. This can be a workshop, storage for large equipment, CrossFit workout area or you can transform it into whatever you need. This incredible property is simply gorgeous, and the location is fantastic. Less than 45 minutes to Disney, Universal Studios and other attractions in central Florida, and less than an hour to Orlando International Airport.
