Designed with both comfort and functionality in mind, this home offers a thoughtful floor plan with two bedrooms on the main level, each with walk-in closets and a shared bath, and two oversized bedrooms upstairs, both featuring expansive walk-in closets and a huge primary bathroom. A spacious upstairs loft provides versatility for a second living area, playroom, or home office, plus plenty of extra storage. At the center of the home, the inviting living room showcases an impressive wood burning fireplace with a gas starter, soaring tongue and groove cypress cathedral ceilings, and picturesque windows that fill the space with natural light. The kitchen is equally impressive, offering abundant counter space, storage, and a walk-in pantry, perfect for everyday living and entertaining. Step outside to relax on the oversized screened-in porch with a hot tub or take advantage of the 2+ car garage and extra deep covered carport, complete with a 50-amp hookup for an RV or boat. This home has been meticulously designed with convenience and peace of mind in mind: newer split A/C systems upstairs and downstairs, instant hot water system, burglar and fire alarm, whole-house Generac generator, reinforced safe room, and transferable termite bond. Additional highlights include: city water, septic, whole-house vacuum, balcony off upstairs bedroom, and 6-inch exterior walls for durability and efficiency. Located just steps from North Florida Regional Medical Center, The Oaks Mall, and minutes to the University of Florida, this property combines the privacy of a 1-acre lot with the convenience of being in the middle of town. With thoughtful design, abundant storage, and features rarely found all in one home, this property is a true Gainesville gem!
