Al Boland of Exit Success Realty in Spring Hill Florida, has listed my parents' home for sale. It's a 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 2 car garage, absolutely pristine Florida ranch in a sought-after subdivision called Regency Oaks. 2366 square feet.

About Regency Oaks

Regency Oaks is a subdivision of 450 homes built by a very reputable developer between 1990 - 1992. The homes are solidly built, block construction on cement slabs. The designs are geared toward easy living in the Florida lifestyle.

You can view a virtual tour of the community!

The community is deed restricted (view deed restrictions, which include no commercial vehicles, and a provision that lawns must be properly maintained). There is a community "recreation center" which is available for rent; it includes a kitchen facility and is fully handicap accessible. There are community tennis courts and a community pool. There is no mandatory homeowner's association fee; but you may join the Regency Oaks Community Association for $100 per year. Many social and community functions are held at the recreation center.

Location! Location! Location!

5038 Heavenly Court, Spring Hill FL, 34607 is conveniently located just .4 mile from the entrance of the subdivision, so it is close to the shopping and restaurants. However it is not on a main artery of the subdivision; It's a cul-de-sac with just five homes.

The neighbors are lovely, friendly people.

You can walk to the shopping center, grocery store, Target, banks, and restaurants... because it's 70 degrees and sunny here! Conveniently located off of Route 19 in Spring Hill, you have gas stations, pizza, chinese food, Applebees, Perkins, barbeque, Home Depot, Lowes, hair and salons, and much more, just a short distance from this home.

Do you like the beach? Pine Island, a peaceful county park, is just 9 miles away, admission is $2. Clearwater has beautiful white sand, and is about 40 minutes away. Fred Howard Park is also about 30 min away.

Spring Hill (Google or Mapquest zip 34607) is about 45 miles north of Tampa, on the Gulf Coast of Florida and enjoys lovely winters and temperate summers due to the Gulf breezes.

Weeki Wachee Springs State Park, a popular attraction for young and old featuring live mermaids, is just a short drive away.

Regency Oaks is in the Hernando County School District.

5038 Heavenly Court

This home has a split floorplan, with the master suite on one side, common area (living, dining, kitchen, family room, laundry) in the middle and two other bedrooms and a full bath on the other side for privacy. All windows have custom vertical blinds which remain with the home. Ceiling fans are located in nearly every room (only the dining room does not have a fan). The central air conditioning unit acts as a heat-pump, making for very efficient heating and cooling (forced air, electric).

Ceramic tile has been laid from the main entrance, throughout the kitchen, laundry and family room, so the high-traffic areas are easy to maintain. All other rooms are carpeted with premium carpet and padding.

The living room has a soaring cathedral ceiling and is spacious and inviting to your guests. The custom window treatments, including vertical blinds, will remain with the home. A hall closet provides room for their jackets.

The formal dining room has a chandelier fixture which will stay with the home. French doors lead to the enclosed "lanai" or patio.

The patio has both screens and vinyl windows, so in the summer you can let the air in; and in the winter you can still enjoy this room with the windows closed. Part of the floor has been created of river pebbles, making an interesting, durable, and easy-to-clean surface. A door to the second section of the patio leads to your very own private hot-tub! This section of the patio has indoor-outdoor carpeting which dries quickly when wet. As you can see, it's useful as a dining area, social area, and workout room!

The square kitchen is a chef's delight, with everything located within easy reach. There is a pass-thru window to the patio for easy serving of guests. All of the new appliances, including refrigerator, dishwasher, electric range/oven (smooth top, easy to clean), and built-in microwave, were replaced in 2007 and 2008. A countertop with two stools is a great place for your guests or family to gather and have a glass of wine while you prepare the meal. With the formal dining room on one side, and the less formal "breakfast" area on the other, the patio on a third side, the kitchen is convenient to all areas! Cabinets on two sides are all the way to the ceiling, providing plenty of storage for groceries, china, and cooking utensils.

The family room is off the breakfast area and has sliding glass doors to the patio (not pictured - the the right in this photo). With its ceramic tile floor, there are no worries about spills or mishaps here.

The vaulted ceiling has a skylight and an additional small window for plenty of natural light.

The Master Suite (below) has two windows to let the sunshine in. One large walk-in closet and an additional spacious closet provide room for all of your clothes. The attached master bath has a ceramic tile floor, with a vanity counter top wrapping around the corner. A large, completely tiled shower with grab bars is easy to access and has glass shower doors.

The two remaining bedrooms each have one large window to let in plenty of light. Each has a large closet, and the bedrooms are separated by the second full bath. This bath has a ceramic tub and ceramic tile all the way up the walls and ceiling, and has glass shower doors.

The two-car garage is not just a place for cars! It has screens which may be drawn across both door openings so that you can work or just sit inside and still enjoy fresh air and a breeze. There is a workbench which will remain, shelving and cabinets for storage, and places to hang your garden tools. Both painted overhead doors have electric garage door openers, and even the floor is painted! The 6" thick concrete driveway is also painted.

The house has a new roof, and to the left of the garage is a permanently wired-in generator should you ever lose power.

The lot is pie-shaped, since it is on a cul-de-sac, which means a smaller area in front to maintain, and a large back yard to enjoy. There are two mature orange, two mature grapefruit, and four fig trees in the yard groaning with ripe fruit. You even ha two of your very own palm trees! Professional landscapers designed the plantings, each surrounded with cement curbing to prevent encroachment of the grass. A sprinkler system with its own separate well makes for easy care of the lawn and plantings!

Everything has been maintained in top-notch condition, and the roof is also new. Storm panels are included with the home, a $2000 add-on to provide peace of mind and to protect your investment.

At only $139,000 this home is a steal. Taxes are just $1188 a year (with exemptions). (View tax record)
