Property Description
Virtually Staged. This beautiful 4-bedroom, 2-bath pool home in the established Forest Ridge subdivision, on a .36 acre lot located in flood zone X, offers a wonderful blend of timeless 1960s character, comfortable living spaces, and modern updates. Located in desirable NW Gainesville, this home is conveniently situated near UF, hospitals, shopping, dining, parks, and everyday amenities, making it an ideal location for both convenience and lifestyle. From the curb, a magnificent live oak adds to the charm of this mature neighborhood. Inside, warm wood flooring runs throughout much of the living space, while large windows in the front living room fill the home with natural light. The spacious family room features a wood-burning fireplace and flows naturally into the dining room, creating an inviting setting for everyday living and entertaining. The generously sized kitchen combines function and style with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, ample upper and lower cabinetry, and modern open shelving. Just off the kitchen, the oversized laundry room provides abundant storage and could easily serve as an expansive pantry or additional utility space. Down the hallway, three nicely sized guest bedrooms share a conveniently located guest bathroom featuring a freshly painted vanity. Tucked away at the end of the hall, the spacious primary suite offers a versatile entry area that could be used as a sitting area, reading nook, or private home office. Large wall-to-wall closets provide excellent storage, while the en-suite bathroom features a double vanity, jetted soaking tub, and glass-enclosed shower. The heart of the outdoor living space is the screened-in pool lanai, which can be accessed directly from both the primary bedroom and family room. The expansive pool deck provides plenty of room for entertaining, grilling, or simply relaxing with friends and family. The in-ground pool features an attached spa with a spillover feature and natural gas heater, allowing you to enjoy the pool and spa throughout the year. Updates for this portion of the house includes the lanai and pool resurfaced in 2018 and the pool enclosure in 2019. The backyard also offers additional room for pets and includes mature orange, grapefruit, and lemon trees. A 2CG adds convenience and features a distinctive decorative mid-century vented block detail—a charming architectural touch that complements the home's era and character. In addition to the pool and lanai resurfacing in 2018, and the enclosure in 2019, the windows were replaced in 2015, and the water heater in 2018. The age of the 4T gas furnace HVAC was taken into consideration with the pricing of the home. The Sellers will consider the 2011 roof replacement with an acceptable offer. Forest Ridge is an established NW Gainesville neighborhood known for its mature landscaping, attractive homes, and convenient location, all without an HOA fee. Just a few blocks from Alfred A. Ring Nature Park, residents can easily enjoy nature trails and outdoor recreation. The home is also close to Thornebrook Village, the Gainesville Playhouse, Publix, The Fresh Market, and numerous local and national restaurants. Gainesville Regional Airport is approx 15 minutes away. With its spacious floor plan, inviting pool and spa, mature landscaping, mid-century details, and convenient NW Gainesville location, this Forest Ridge home offers a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the character of an established neighborhood with the comforts of today.
