Under contract-accepting backup offers. Welcome to this charming and thoughtfully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home nestled on an oversized corner lot in the heart of Northwood. Tucked quietly into the neighborhood, you will enjoy the sounds of birds and rustling trees rather than traffic, which is a rare find this close to everything Gainesville has to offer. Step inside and you will immediately notice the open, flowing layout that lives much larger than expected. LVP and hard flooring run throughout the home, and fresh interior paint gives every room a clean, move-in ready feel. A flexible second living space adds versatility to the floor plan. Use it as a formal dining room, home office, playroom, or additional sitting area. The layout truly adapts to your lifestyle. The home has been well maintained and thoughtfully updated where it counts. A 2021 roof, newer HVAC, and a large open kitchen featuring nearly brand new stainless steel refrigerator and range, mean the big ticket items are already handled, giving you peace of mind from day one. The attached single-car garage adds convenience and storage, and the fully fenced oversized corner lot provides privacy, space, and room to make it your own. Out back, sliding glass doors open onto a concrete patio sitting beneath a canopy of mature trees that create a shaded, private outdoor retreat. The lot is expansive and the tree coverage gives it a feel that is far removed from the typical Gainesville backyard. All of this sits just minutes from the University of Florida, Shands, Santa Fe College, downtown Gainesville, shopping, dining, Springtree Park, and nearby walking trails. Whether you are a first-time buyer, downsizing, or simply looking for a solid home in a well-established Gainesville neighborhood at a price that actually makes sense, you found it. A home this move-in ready at this price point in Gainesville does not stay on the market long. Schedule your private tour today. This one is going to move fast.
