Under contract-accepting backup offers. Short Sale. Set within the established Cheryl Acres community of Anthony, Florida, this home presents a rare opportunity defined by land, possibility, and long horizon thinking. Offered as a short sale and subject to lender approval, this single family residence invites vision and thoughtful reinvention. Built in 1968, the three bedroom, two bath home rests on a double lot totaling nearly a full acre. Mature surroundings and generous spacing between properties create a sense of quiet rarely found in today's market. Here, the rhythm of daily life feels unhurried, grounded in open sky and the subtle stillness of a rural setting. Inside, the layout is functional and straightforward, offering a strong foundation for renewal. The family room centers around a fireplace that anchors the space with warmth and character. The footprint supports both everyday living and creative reimagining, allowing future design choices to reflect personal style while honoring the home's original simplicity. Beyond the walls, the land becomes the defining feature. Nearly an acre of usable space opens the door to outdoor living, gardens, workshops, expanded recreation, or future enhancements. Large parcels like this are increasingly difficult to secure, particularly within established neighborhoods known for privacy and enduring value. Cheryl Acres is recognized for its oversized lots and peaceful atmosphere, delivering a true country feel while remaining within convenient reach of Ocala, Gainesville, and essential amenities. The location balances serenity with accessibility, creating long term appeal for those seeking both breathing room and connection. Sold as is with third party approval required, this property represents a strategic opportunity for buyers drawn to land, location, and meaningful upside in Marion County real estate.
