About this home
244 SW LOBLOLLY PLACE
Enjoy North Florida living at its best with this sprawling four bedroom three bathroom beautiful brick home on a one and a .75 acre lot just outside of Lake City. Entering the foyer from the large front porch, you'll notice new LVP flooring that continues throughout the home (no carpet anywhere) and a light filled formal living room with oversized bay window seat opening to a cheerful formal dining room. Continuing from the foyer, the family room is framed by a wood burning fireplace with hearth seating and built in cabinetry and shelving on both sides. The massive kitchen is an entertainer's dream with solid wood cabinetry, new quartz counters, stainless appliances, and an unbelievable walk-in pantry just off the breakfast room. Your favorite part of the house just might be the massive 12' x 43' air conditioned Florida Room where the outdoors are brought in thanks to gorgeous picture windows, and there's enough space for multiples uses simultaneously. The fully fenced back yard is the perfect setting for a future swimming pool or gardening. Back inside, you'll find a spacious primary ensuite with a large bathroom and walk-in closet, three more comfortable bedrooms, and two additional full bathrooms. The huge laundry room provides space for much more than just washing clothes, and the side entry garage has plenty of room for your SUV or pickup. Don't miss the centrally air conditioned rooms off the garage currently used for storage but perfectly suited for a home office, gym, or even an additional bedroom! Utility costs are kept down thanks to an impressive solar power system, and the whole house generator will keep everything running as usual during storms or outages. The Forest Country community is located just outside Lake City with convenient access to many shopping and dining options, I-75, HCA Hospital, and Florida Gateway College.

Value check
Is the price right?
The internet’s favorite home-value number comes from a single automated model that has never seen the street, the finishes, or the view — which is why it routinely misses by tens of thousands of dollars. The edgeAI estimate combines multiple independent data sources with our team’s on-the-ground expertise in this exact market.
