Built to last, this 3-bed, 2-bath concrete block home sits on 2 fully fenced, park-like acres, just minutes from Alachua’s historic downtown! This solidly built residence features an open floor plan, Brazilian wood floors, and renovated island kitchen, complemented by a two-car garage with dedicated workshop. As you approach, a large paver patio welcomes you, while the home itself is nestled among mature trees on property defined by its natural beauty. Stepping indoors you will discover a spacious living room which opens to the dining area and kitchen, showcasing stainless steel appliances including a new dishwasher, granite countertops, wood cabinets, and convenient island. Off the dining area are garden doors leading to the back patio, and a huge laundry room with washer and dryer, and plenty of room for an extra refrigerator, storage, or walk-in pantry. Heading down the hallway you will find an updated guest bath with tub/shower combo, 2 guest bedrooms, and primary suite with updated ensuite bath featuring a walk-in shower with décor tile. Out back is a paver patio that overlooks the tranquil surroundings, making it a relaxing spot to soak up the Florida sunshine. With 2 fenced acres, there is plenty of space for letting little ones run and play, gardening, parking boats and RVs, and enjoying an array of outdoor activities. Ideally situated, the home is in close proximity to the 441 and I-75, 2 miles to Alachua, 9 miles to High Springs, and 19 miles to Gainesville. Cedar Key on the Gulf is a little over an hour away, and the Atlantic beaches are about a 2-hour drive. If you are tired of the hustle and bustle, but want to be close to amenities, you will want to explore this scenic retreat before it is gone!
