This 4-bed, 3-bath home ensures peace of mind with a 2021 roof featuring a 20-year warranty, dual AC units, and a newer water heater.

The floor plan unfolds into a warm, wood-paneled family room, a space connected to the outdoors by glass sliders that lead directly to the poolside terrace. This easy movement continues into the formal living room, which opens to one of the large guest bedrooms. The primary suite offers understated luxury complemented by a refreshed ensuite with a glass-enclosed shower and dual-vessel vanity. A versatile bonus room adds to the home's flexible layout. From the main living areas, the transition to the screened lanai is effortless, with privacy-fenced grounds that offer a perfect blend of open lawn and mature shade trees. Unique to this property is the detached efficiency, joined by a breezeway and featuring its own kitchenette, bath, and entrance—ideal for multi-generational living, a private home office, or income potential. This iconic Gainesville location in the leafy Kirkwood area is free from HOA restrictions, and combines the privacy of a spacious homesite with the convenience of living just moments from the city's medical, academic, recreational, and cultural amenities.
