8505 NW 1st Ave, Gainesville, FL 32607

Located in Buckingham East, an HOA-free subdivision, this concrete block home is situated on nearly a half acre fenced lot mid-point on a cul de sac street that will make you feel you are miles and miles away from the hustle and bustle of Gainesville, while being within minutes of everything you need. This single-story, ranch style 3 bedroom, plus flex space, 2 bath home offers a spacious layout with just over 1750 SF. Originally designed with separate living spaces, the wall between the two rooms was removed, joining the living spaces into one spacious family room. The former family room, located between the stacked stone wood-burning fireplace and the kitchen, makes this space the perfect breakfast nook or dining room area. The kitchen offers wood cabinetry, some newer appliances, a closet pantry and a window over the sink. Next to the closet pantry is a door that opens onto the former dining room. Use this space as a flex space or home office. On the opposite side of the home is the bedroom hallway. The first guest room has windows that overlook the front yard. The second has front and side yard views. Both share the full hallway bath that has a step-in shower. The master bedroom is at the end of the hallway, with double door closets and an en suite bath with a tub/shower combination. To access the rear screened lanai, use the sliding glass doors off the new dining space. The porch is nearly 50 feet in length, providing a comfortable place for lounge and dining area seating and for enjoying the outdoors. The rear yard faces south, perfect for your gardening beds. There are three structures in the rear yard: two storage sheds positioned along the rear property line, and a darling potting shed between the rear of the garage and the rear property line. The entire yard has perimeter fencing. Additional features include NO carpet, a fresh interior coat of neutral paint, a 560 SF two car garage that also houses the washer and dryer, a rear door from the garage for access to the rear yard, and an attached 2 car carport for additional covered parking. The roof is approximately 10 years old. Sellers will replace the gas water heater with an acceptable offer. This home is perfect for those wanting single-story living, and for those who want privacy of a cul de sac street with limited traffic. This HOA-free subdivision is also perfect for those Buyers who want to avoid additional monthly expenses. Buckingham East is one of four adjoining neighborhoods that spans from Newberry Road on the north all the way to SW 8th Avenue toward the south.
