Beyond the expected, this freshly reimagined mid-century residence on nearly half an acre offers a rare combination of space, privacy, and modern comforts just minutes from downtown Gainesville! The 3-bed, 2-bath layout has been extensively renovated from top to bottom. Stepping through the front door reveals a welcoming living room with vinyl plank flooring and contemporary recessed lighting that illuminates the entire house. This open-concept design flows naturally into the kitchen, which comes fully equipped with newer stainless steel appliances—including a refrigerator, dishwasher, oven, and built-in microwave—accented by light blue cabinetry and countertops cleanly finished in a granite-look wrap. Moving down the hallway, you will find a large office, comfortable guest bedrooms and an impressive guest bath, sporting a smart mirror, a new sink, and sleek grey rectangular tile finishes. At the very end of the hallway, the primary suite boasts a generous walk-in closet and ensuite complete with a standalone soaking tub, a separate walk-in shower detailed with striking black-and-white checkered accents, and large white marble-patterned tile walls. Practical home features include newer double-pane windows for enhanced energy efficiency, a dedicated indoor laundry area by the back entryway, an 8-year-old HVAC system, a partial roof replacement, and a shaded double carport. The backyard is surrounded by mature trees that offer natural privacy and a peaceful, low-maintenance forest-like setting. Situated in the established Highland Court Manor neighborhood, this property offers a low-traffic location with a remarkably easy commute to the University of Florida, downtown dining, local parks, and shopping.
