About this property
Picturesque, Bright & Comfy ~ Near Ben Hill Stadium & UF Campus ~ Porch ~Parking
Escape to the charming 4BR 2Bath oasis immersed in a tranquil and friendly Gainesville neighborhood. It offers a relaxing getaway a few steps away from Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, UF Campus, O'Connell Center, and booming Midtown with excellent restaurants, shops, attractions, and landmarks.
The spacious kitchen and the dining area are where you'll prepare and enjoy tasty meals with your loved ones before unwinding in the living room, setting the stage for unforgettable evenings. Natural sunlight bursts through the large windows, making the house very bright during the day, accenting the tastefully picked furniture, and enhancing the soothing setting.
Recharge in the four comfortable bedrooms, which feature 5☆-hotel comforts that allow you to rest after a thrilling day of Florida adventures.
But wait! The best is yet to come! Step out into the spacious backyard to bask in the sun, catch a breath of fresh air, or sit back on the enclosed porch and gaze at the mesmerizing natural environment while relaxing on the cozy sofa.
There's so much to do in this gorgeous home. We look forward to you experiencing its full comfort and coziness.
