One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. This spacious two-story home offers over 3,200 square feet of living space, featuring 4 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms with dual sinks, and a recently updated half bathroom. The primary suite includes a walk-in closet, and you'll find both formal living and dining rooms, as well as a more casual living area anchored by a wood-burning fireplace. The kitchen includes a reach-through bar, ample counter space, and a motion-activated faucet, making it both practical and inviting. A bonus space off the main living area offers flexibility as a breakfast nook, Florida room, or play area. An additional large bonus room can serve as a home theater, game room, or creative studio. The oversized two-car garage includes built-in storage, and the laundry room is generously sized with a sink basin and extensive cabinetry. Step outside to enjoy the fully enclosed patio, a sparkling pool (complete with a slide), and a large backyard with a full privacy fence installed in 2022. A basketball half court adds even more recreational potential. Practical updates include newer air handlers (2021 and 2023), updated flooring throughout most of the home, and a full home re-pipe in 2020. While the home retains its original roof and older windows, it presents a great opportunity for cosmetic updates to match your style. This spacious pool home is a rare find just 1.5 miles from the University of Florida, tucked into the well-established and desirable Forest Ridge neighborhood. Located on nearly half an acre with no mandatory HOA fees, and just minutes from UF, Shands, downtown Gainesville, shopping, and dining, this home combines size, location, and potential.
