With 3,276 square feet of living space, it stands out as one of the largest pool homes currently for sale within this close proximity to UF. The home offers four sizable bedrooms upstairs, including a primary suite with a walk-in closet and an ensuite bath featuring dual sinks. The second full bathroom upstairs also has dual sinks, perfect for a busy household. Downstairs, you'll find a traditional layout with both formal living and dining rooms, as well as an informal living room with a wood-burning fireplace that opens to a kitchen with a convenient reach-through bar. The kitchen features ample counter space, a motion-sensored sink, room to add a small island, and connects to a versatile bonus space—ideal for a breakfast nook, Florida room, or play area. An updated half bathroom downstairs adds modern convenience.

The nearly half-acre yard is fully fenced with a privacy fence installed in 2022 and includes a basketball half court. Comfort and peace of mind are further enhanced with newer air handlers replaced in 2021 and 2023, updated flooring throughout most of the home, and a full home re-pipe completed in December 2020. With no mandatory HOA fees and a prime location just minutes from UF, Shands, downtown Gainesville, shopping, and dining, this home is a standout in both size and value.
