Description
Super cute mid-century modern home in a fabulous location just minutes to UF’s campus, UF Health Shands hospital and close to downtown Gainesville. This 1955 built Sperry Heights home has the mid-century charm with modern updates: a 2023 architectural shingle roof that qualifies for a wind mitigation discount for your home owners insurance, plumbing with PVC supply lines in 2017, updated double pane windows, newer doors, the bath smartly updated in 2017, brand new kitchen tile flooring, and an enclosed crawlspace. Tucked away on a .21 acre lot, this pie-shaped lot provides a nice set back from the street, and a private backyard filled with select native, edible and pollinator plants. The 1143 square foot space includes a cute great room with new wainscoting panels, a step-down flex room with newer ceiling fans, perfect for additional living space, a home office space, home gym, or as a bonus room. The kitchen has a short breakfast bar that offers two bar stool seating as well as an adjacent nook with a detached banquet seating with storage. All three bedrooms are off the same hallway, each smartly decorated for that inviting, homey-touch. Hardwood floors that were stripped and stained just prior to the Seller moving in, connect all living spaces, nook and bedrooms. The front porch is screened for enjoying the morning time at home. Off the nook and kitchen area is the access to the “L” shaped 407 SF screened in rear lanai. In addition, there is a separate 11x7 unfinished storage room that has your washer/dryer hook ups, storage, and a 2023 water heater. Fiber optic internet is available as well. This home is located between 8th Avenue and 16th Avenue, and is only 3.4 miles to UF’s campus and is only 3.1 miles to UF Health Shands Hospital. Nearby parks and bike trails include Reserve Park and Roper Park, the Gainesville-Hawthorne trail system and Depot Park. No HOA, a fenced yard, a charming interior, a yard to run your imagination wild and two screen porches…make an appointment to see this darling house today.
