Price improved to $349,000! This is the kind of opportunity that simply doesn't come around twice. This custom-built brick home at 1410 NW 28th Street has had just one owner since it was built in 1967 and has never before been offered for sale. Set on approximately one-third of an acre with no HOA, it offers timeless character, solid construction, and a location that is genuinely hard to beat.
With approximately 1,920 heated and cooled square feet and around 2,500 total square feet, the layout is both spacious and flexible - a separate breakfast room, generous garage, and multiple living areas give buyers room for everyday living, entertaining, hobbies, or working from home. The interior has been refreshed with brand-new upgraded carpet in the bedrooms, professionally installed luxury vinyl plank flooring in the front living room and dining room, and fresh paint throughout. These were quality material selections, not builder-grade basics, and the result is a home that feels clean, elevated, and move-in ready.
Major updates have already been handled: a brand-NEW 2026 roof with transferable warranty, a brand-NEW gas water heater, and a recent four-point inspection available for buyer review - so the big-ticket items are done and documented.
What makes this property especially compelling is the combination of lot, location, and freedom. NO HOA, close proximity to the University of Florida, and short-term rental eligibility add up to real flexibility - whether you're buying as a primary residence, a second home, or an investment-minded purchase. On game days, you can practically feel the energy of Florida Field from here.
The kitchen and bathrooms are functional, well-kept, and carry a charming retro character that some buyers will love as-is and others may choose to update over time. The driveway is notably steep, and buyers should plan a visit with that in mind. But at $349,000, this home has been priced with honest transparency: what you get is a well-built, well-maintained, move-in-ready home with genuine history, generous space, and a setting that is becoming increasingly rare in Gainesville - with room left for a new owner to personalize at their own pace.
This is not a cookie-cutter house. It is a home with substance, story, and real potential in one of the city's most convenient locations.
