At the end of an established cul-de-sac in Northwood Pines, this solidly built home has the lasting appeal of concrete-block construction, along with upgrades designed for today's lifestyle! Some of the major updates to this 3-bed, 2-bath plus bonus room home include a 2021 roof, 2020 central air, and newer wood privacy fencing, in addition to double-paned windows for energy efficiency and barn doors offering a distinctive touch. Step inside to tile flooring and a light, airy living and dining area featuring an expansive window and sliding glass doors that open to the screened-in porch, where a ceiling fan keeps things cool and inviting. The refreshed kitchen brings together newer cabinetry, granite countertops, a tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances, including a new dishwasher and range. Just beyond, the bonus room is a flexible layout that can change with your needs, whether used as a home office, hobby studio, or playroom. It features vinyl wood flooring and access to a spacious laundry room and the patio with pergola. Down the hall, two guest bedrooms share an updated bath with a tub/shower combination, while the primary suite offers a private retreat with its modernized ensuite featuring a glass-enclosed walk-in shower. The expansive, fenced backyard features an above-ground swimming pool along with a storage shed for lawn equipment, tools, and outdoor essentials. The northwest Gainesville location puts A.N.N.E. Park and Alfred A. Ring Park nearby, with shopping and dining along NW 23rd Avenue and Publix at Millhopper Shopping Center close at hand. The University of Florida and UF Health Shands are also just a short drive away. From the updated interior and flexible layout to the versatile backyard, this Northwood Pines home is ready for its next owner. Schedule your private tour today before this gem is gone!
