The spacious owner's suite serves as a relaxing retreat, complete with dual vanities, a garden tub, glass-enclosed shower, and a large walk-in closet. Two additional guest bedrooms are situated on the opposite side of the home and share a full bath, enhancing the flexibility and privacy of the triple-split design. French doors open to a spacious screened lanai with tile flooring and a ceiling fan, creating the perfect setting for morning coffee or evening gatherings. Beyond, the fully fenced backyard offers a peaceful outdoor oasis shaded by mature trees and complemented by a versatile concrete patio ideal for grilling, entertaining, or simply unwinding. Additional features include a recently replaced HVAC system, indoor laundry room, and a two-car garage. Residents of Blues Creek enjoy access to community amenities including a clubhouse, swimming pool, and tennis courts. Conveniently located near shopping, dining, and outdoor recreation such as Devil's Millhopper Geological State Park, the home is also zoned for Talbot Elementary, Fort Clarke Middle School, and Gainesville High School.
