The story
Welcome home to Newberry Place, where the hard part of building a home is already done. This 4 bed, 2 bath concrete block home offers 1,874 sq ft of move-in ready living, built in 2010 by Maronda Homes, and it comes with $5,000 from the seller toward the buyer's closing costs. The sellers have made thoughtful upgrades throughout. Durable rigid vinyl plank flooring runs through the home (all but the primary bedroom), so there's no carpet to replace and cleanup is easy. The kitchen is bright and welcoming, with plenty of natural light, generous cabinet storage, and lots of granite counter space for meal prep, baking, or setting out a spread when friends come over. Four bedrooms give you room to spread out, with space for a home office, a guest room, a hobby room, or all three. The outdoor space is where this home truly shines. An extended, covered lanai gives you a shady spot for morning coffee and evenings outside, rain or shine, and a pergola adds another inviting place to relax or entertain. A concrete walkway wraps around the home, and vinyl fencing with three gates surrounds the yard, so there's no painting or staining and easy access from every side. The established garden has had years to grow in, giving the yard a settled, finished look you simply can't get with new sod on a bare lot. Behind the home is common-area green space (a dry retention area), which means no house built right behind you and a more open feel from your backyard. Need more room for tools, projects, or toys? A Tuff Shed with electricity is ready for a workshop, a craft space, or the mower and lawn gear, so the rest of your home stays clear. Compare that to building new. Fencing, a covered patio, a pergola, walkways, and a mature garden are often extra costs on a new build, and they usually come with a wait. Here, they're already done, and you can move in without the construction timeline. Newberry Place is an established, well-kept neighborhood in one of Alachua County's fastest-growing towns. You're close to Newberry Elementary, Oak View Middle, and Newberry High, and just minutes from Newberry's first Publix. Newberry keeps adding more of what you need close to home, including a new City Hall and a planned AgTech innovation park, while still keeping its small-town charm. Gainesville, UF, and shopping along Newberry Road are an easy drive when you need them. This home is also located in a USDA-eligible area, giving qualified buyers another financing option to explore. Income limits and lender approval apply. If you've been looking for space, a backyard you'll actually use, and a home that's ready now, this is the one to see. Schedule your showing today.
