The Rakers were the first owners of the home, having purchased it for $907,700 on January 24, 2023. Accordingly, the most recent acquisition reflects a 68% increase over the home’s original price tag.

Situated on a 0.267-acre lot just west of Lake Okahumpka, the residence features 2,488 square feet of interior living space, and the property’s total adjusted gross area exceeds 4,000 square feet.
