The story

Space, natural beauty, and an exceptional Gainesville location! Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac, this beautifully maintained 4-bedroom, 2-bath home sits on nearly an acre of lush, beautifully landscaped grounds, offering a rare combination of tranquility and accessibility. Surrounded by woods on three sides, with neighboring homes tucked out of sight, the property feels like a peaceful retreat while remaining just minutes from shopping, dining, hospitals, and the University of Florida. Inside, you'll find generously sized rooms, an inviting floor plan, and two distinct living spaces. The formal living room provides a wonderful space for entertaining, while the comfortable family room, complete with a wood-burning fireplace, is perfect for enjoying a cup of coffee in the morning or relaxing at the end of the day. The updated kitchen offers both style and functionality, and the fourth bedroom, currently used as a home office, provides flexibility to suit your needs. Major improvements offer peace of mind, including a new roof (2026), HVAC system (2025), luxury vinyl plank flooring (2025), and newer windows. With no carpet anywhere in the home, the interiors are as practical as they are inviting. Outdoors is where this property truly shines. A stamped concrete driveway and walkway lead to a welcoming front porch, setting the tone for the beautiful surroundings. The expansive grounds feature mature trees, established landscaping, and plenty of room for gardening, outdoor activities, or simply enjoying the peaceful setting. A newer deck provides the perfect place to relax, entertain, or take in the natural beauty of your own backyard. The location makes everyday life easy, with access to both Newberry Road and SW 8th Avenue, putting I-75, HCA North Florida Hospital, Tioga Town Center, the University of Florida, and UF Health Shands Hospital within easy reach. If you've been searching for a Gainesville home with a spacious wooded lot, mature trees, updated interiors, and proximity to everything the city has to offer, this is a property you won't want to miss!
