Property Description

Acreage. Privacy. No HOA. A rare find inside Inverness city limits: 1.61 private acres, a custom-built home, multiple outbuildings—all directly across from a 290-acre park. Discover your private sanctuary within the historic City of Inverness—close to everything, yet tucked away in a peaceful setting.

This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath, 2,454 SF home with an attached 2-car garage is located in Fletcher Heights, a quiet, non-HOA neighborhood served by public water and positioned in Flood Zone X, where no flood insurance is required.

Directly across the street sits Whispering Pines Park, featuring miles of walking and biking trails, sports courts, playgrounds, a splash pad, swimming pool, and shaded picnic areas. You're also just minutes from the Withlacoochee State Trail, local shops, restaurants, and medical facilities—offering the perfect blend of privacy and in-town convenience.

A spacious mudroom opens to the foyer and a large open-concept living and dining area anchored by a stone-faced fireplace. The expansive kitchen includes generous cabinetry and counter space, a center island with cooktop, built-in oven and microwave, and a breakfast bar—ideal for cooking, entertaining, and everyday living.

The split-bedroom layout features oversized secondary bedrooms and a primary suite with a walk-in closet, jetted garden tub, and separate shower. A window-lined under-air rear porch overlooks the scenic, tree-lined property, offering an inviting space to relax year-round.

Outside, a 520 SF detached climate-controlled flex building provides exceptional versatility—perfect as a workshop, studio, hobby space, home office, or potential in-law or guest suite. Additional amenities include a screened gazebo, barbecue/fire pit area, two storage sheds, and a bird aviary—giving you space to create, work, store, or simply unwind.

The home has been thoughtfully updated and well-maintained, with major improvements including a new roof on the main house (2018), a new metal roof on the flex building (2019), upgraded electrical panel (2019), high-efficiency heat pump water heater (2021), and updated windows (2010).

Few properties offer this combination of upgrades, amenities, acreage, and location—especially within city limits. Schedule your private tour today.
