For the buyer who loves a cute cottage and wants to live in a home with soul — this a place that feels warm, personal, and just a little set apart. This 3 bedroom, 2 bath home was beautifully remodeled in 2025 and offers exactly that. Set in a centrally located, popular NW Gainesville neighborhood, this home blends the character of an older home with the comfort of extensive modern updates. Inside, the original pine tongue-and-groove floors have been refurbished, adding warmth and charm to the living spaces. Natural light pours into the home and thoughtful finishes create a home that feels both fresh and grounded. The layout is impressively efficient, don’t let the square footage fool you. All three bedrooms are large enough to fit a queen bed, nightstand, and dresser. You could certainly use all three bedrooms as bedrooms, but you also would have the flexibility to create a reading room, office, game room, or creative space that fits your life in one of them. The kitchen has been fully remodeled with high-quality soft-close custom cabinetry (no big box store cabinets here), quartz countertops, new tile floors, Samsung appliances, and a chef’s sink with built-in accessories that make everyday living easier and more enjoyable. Both bathrooms have also been fully renovated with stylish, easy-care finishes, with one offering a walk-in shower and the other a tub. Just as important, the major system updates have already been taken care of. With updated electrical wiring, repiped with both the water supply lines and the sewer lines, a new HVAC system with all new ductwork, a new gas line brought to the property, a gas tankless water heater, added wall insulation, and fresh interior and exterior paint all done in 2025. The LG Ultra-large capacity, SMART, space-saving laundry center is included and makes doing laundry a breeze. This is a home where you can settle in and focus more on living since the renovations were so extensive. Outside, the newer 6-foot vinyl fence creates the kind of privacy that feels increasingly rare. The backyard offers space to unwind, garden, let pets roam, host a few friends, or simply enjoy a quiet evening at home. It feels private, peaceful, and comfortably your own. With no HOA and no extra monthly fees, this home offers charm, functionality and independence. Less than 4 miles to UF Health/Shands Hospital, 4 miles to the VA Medical facilities, just 3 miles to University of Florida, 6 miles to Santa Fe College. Shopping is great too! Just one mile to either Publix or Aldi, just 1 mile to Hibbett Sports, Ross, Burlington Coat Factory, Lowe’s and more. This is the kind of home that feels different in the best way — updated, inviting, and full of character and ready for you to just bring your belongings and start living!
