Welcome to this charming and updated late 1950s solid concrete block home, just a stone's throw away from the University of Florida in Gainesville! At just under 1,500 sq feet, it has the space and location you need, centrally situated for convenient access to all sides of the city. This home's simple elegance will leave you mesmerized, featuring three bedrooms and two full bathrooms with a coveted 1-car garage. As you walk past the front porch into the entryway, your eyes will be drawn to the beauty of the original refurbished hardwood floors. To the right, there's a spacious living room with elegant crown molding and large windows covering both exterior walls, creating the most bright and welcoming space. The living room even has a convenient linen/game closet between the two adorable window seats. Passing through the living room, you enter a spacious formal dining area that's so roomy, the current tenants use it as an office as well. The dining area even has the same unique crown molding as the living room. Now, here is where things get special—the kitchen was remodeled, featuring modern cabinetry with matching molding, under-cabinet lighting, granite countertops, an impressive dedicated pantry wall, and upgraded recessed lighting. In addition to the pantry cabinet wall, there's a separate pantry closet for food or cleaning supplies. The kitchen is so well-designed and ergonomic for a home of this period. On the opposite end of the home are the three bedrooms and two bathrooms which feature lovingly maintained vintage tile, preserving the home's timeless character. The large screened in lanai overlooks a low maintenance yard with native vegetation, crowned by a majestic oak tree —a perfect spot for relaxation and gatherings. The roof was replaced in 2017 to help you meet increasingly stringent insurance requirements. On a large 1/3 acre lot, it has a large semi-circular paved driveway to fit the many vehicles of your family, tenants, or guests. Ideal for anyone seeking a central location zoned for excellent schools or even for parents and their precious Gators commuting to UF, this property offers a seamless blend of quality materials, comfort, and access to everything in Gainesville we love. If you're tired of expensive homes located way on the outskirts of town with no character, this home is for you! LEASED THROUGH 5/31/2024.
