Property Description
Located in one of Northwest Gainesville's most beloved and enduring neighborhoods, this beautifully renovated 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom home in
Forest Ridge offers nearly 2,500 square feet of living space on over a third of an acre, just minutes from the University of Florida. With no HOA
and a neighborhood known for its pride of ownership, this property delivers both flexibility and charm in a setting that feels established, quiet,
and connected. The interior has been thoughtfully updated throughout, beginning with brand-new luxury vinyl plank flooring that spans the main
living areas and an inviting brick fireplace that anchors the spacious family room. Enhancing the space is a professionally installed 7-speaker in-
ceiling surround sound system featuring high-end GoldenEar speakers—ideal for immersive movie nights or entertaining. The kitchen is a
standout, featuring granite countertops, custom cabinetry, a large center island, stainless steel appliances, a subway-style tile backsplash,
pendant lighting, and a walk-in pantry with its own exterior access—perfect for unloading groceries or serving a future outdoor kitchen. The
layout offers excellent privacy and function, with a split bedroom plan ideal for guests or multigenerational living. The oversized primary suite
features a private exterior entrance and a stunning en-suite bath with dual vanities, granite counters, a spa-worthy walk-in shower with frameless
glass, and a vintage-style clawfoot soaking tub. A second bedroom also includes its own private bath, offering guests or family members an
added layer of comfort and autonomy. The remaining bedrooms are generously sized with easy access to the home's third fully updated
bathroom. Additional highlights include a dedicated walk-in laundry room, a two-car garage, and an elevated covered front porch that offers a
peaceful view of the tree-lined street. Out back, a covered and screened lanai flows seamlessly to a spacious open deck, all overlooking a fully
fenced and beautifully landscaped backyard with ample room for play, entertaining, or future additions like a pool. From its classic curb appeal
and smart updates to its rare combination of size, location, and functionality, this Forest Ridge home is a truly exceptional opportunity in
Gainesville's residential core
