Virtually Staged. Done renting? This is your sign. Welcome to the highly sought-after Darwin floor plan in Ocala Crossings South, a 2023-built two-story home offering 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a versatile upstairs loft, and 2, 022 square feet of heated living space (2, 634 total), all priced under $300K in one of Ocala’s fastest-growing communities. Here’s what makes this listing rare: this is the ONLY Darwin model on the market right now, and D.R. Horton is not building this floor plan in the neighborhood for the foreseeable future. It is also the only 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath two-story layout this builder offers. When this one is gone, there is no telling when the next one comes available. Step inside and the main floor opens into a bright, seamless layout where the great room, dining area, and kitchen flow together, perfect for entertaining or everyday living. The kitchen is the showstopper: a large center island with quartz countertops, stainless-steel appliances including the range, microwave, and built-in dishwasher, plus a walk-in pantry. Sliding doors lead to an open-air patio, ideal for morning coffee or weekend cookouts. The front yard features a sprinkler system to keep your curb appeal effortless. Upstairs is where this floor plan truly shines. A spacious loft creates the flexibility every buyer wants: home office, playroom, media space, or second living room. The private primary suite features an oversized walk-in closet and an ensuite bath with double vanity sinks. Two additional bedrooms share a full second bath, and the laundry room is conveniently located right where the bedrooms are, no more hauling baskets up and down stairs. Even better, the washer and dryer stay, along with the refrigerator. This home is truly move-in ready. Every home in Ocala Crossings South includes a state-of-the-art smart home system, keeping you connected whether you are five minutes away or across the country. Add a two-car garage, a low quarterly HOA, and a location minutes from shopping, dining, schools, and the World Equestrian Center, with easy access to I-75 for commutes to Gainesville, The Villages, or Tampa. First-time buyers, downsizers, and anyone tired of paying someone else’s mortgage: a 2023 home with this square footage, this layout, and this price point is a true steal in Ocala Crossings South, and it will not last.
