5455 NW 26TH LANEOCALA, FL 34482

Think of it as a fresh canvas — and the price of admission to one of Ocala's most desirable 55+ golf communities. The seller is motivated, the opportunity is real, and this pool home is ready for its next owners to bring their vision and make it their own. Set within the gated Ocala Palms Golf & Country Club community, this solid concrete block and stucco home offers 1,858 square feet of living space with a floor plan that immediately impresses. Soaring 10-foot ceilings run throughout, creating an open, airy feel from the moment you walk in. The great room flows seamlessly into the dining area — generous, light-filled spaces perfectly suited for entertaining or simply relaxing in comfort. Triple sliding glass doors connect the living room to the enclosed lanai, blurring the line between indoors and out and making the home feel even larger than its already spacious footprint. The eat-in kitchen also opens directly onto the lanai through its own sliding doors, and a counter-height bar top looks out into the living area — ideal for casual meals or keeping the conversation going while you cook. Step outside and you have your own private pool, screened and ready for the Florida lifestyle you came here for. Whether it is a perfect home away from home or your forever home, this outdoor space delivers. The primary suite is a true retreat, featuring not one but two walk-in closets, sliding glass doors to the lanai, and elegant French doors opening into the ensuite. The primary bathroom has been recently remodeled and showcases double vanities, a freestanding soaker tub, and a walk-in shower — a spa-quality finish that is move-in ready today. On the opposite side of the home — offering great separation and privacy — are two additional well-sized bedrooms and a full bath with a shower and tub combination. An indoor laundry room with built-in cabinetry adds practical storage, and a hallway closet and pantry round out the thoughtful floor plan. Outside, the home sits on a manageable 0.19-acre lot — easy to maintain, yet with enough space to enjoy the Florida outdoors. Low-maintenance living at its finest. Life at Ocala Palms means access to a vibrant, active lifestyle: an on-site golf course, resort-style pools, a fully equipped fitness center, a clubhouse, and even an on-site restaurant. The location is equally impressive — just minutes from I-75, only a short drive from the World Equestrian Center, and with Publix, shopping, dining, and medical services practically at your doorstep right across from the main entrance. Whether you are looking for a weekend retreat, a seasonal escape, or a permanent place to plant roots — this is the one. Bring your ideas, bring your style, and make it yours.
