258 SE Hillside Parkway

Virtually Staged. From the first look, this property stands apart from many competing homes in Lake City thanks to its rare combination of space, privacy, flexibility, and entertaining potential. Located across from the lake and backing up to a wildlife sanctuary, 258 SE Hillside Parkway offers a peaceful setting while remaining close to shopping, dining, schools, and commuter access. Inside, buyers will immediately notice how functional the layout feels for real everyday living. With over 3,100 square feet, 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, two master suites, and an attached apartment with its own entrance, the home offers flexibility that is becoming increasingly difficult to find. The setup works exceptionally well for multi-generational living, long-term guests, private workspace needs, or buyers simply wanting additional separation within the home. The main living areas are spacious and inviting with a wood-burning fireplace serving as a

natural focal point. Decorative lighting, ceiling fans, and multiple gathering areas create a buyer- friendly layout designed for both entertaining and comfortable daily use. Storage space

throughout the property adds another layer of functionality buyers consistently value. The kitchen features granite countertops and practical workspace flow while connecting naturally to the surrounding dining and living areas. The second master suite and private-entry apartment create a major advantage over many similarly priced homes currently available in the market. Outside, the covered patio and in-ground concrete pool extend the entertaining potential even further. The backyard setting feels quiet and private thanks to the wildlife sanctuary directly behind the property. This outdoor atmosphere creates strong emotional appeal for buyers wanting peaceful surroundings without giving up proximity to town amenities. Lake City continues to attract buyers relocating from larger cities who want more square footage, larger lots, and a slower pace while still maintaining access to major highways and conveniences. The area is known for its outdoor recreation, lakes, springs, and growing demand from buyers seeking stronger long-term value in North Florida. This property presents a move-in-ready opportunity with a difficult-to-find layout that supports a wide variety of buyer needs. Between the pool, privacy, multi-generational flexibility, and oversized living spaces, this home creates a stronger overall package than many competing options currently available.
