Virtually Staged. If you’re looking for space, convenience and low-maintenance living, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath townhome in The Forest of the Unicorn may be just what you’ve been waiting for!

The interior has been freshly painted and there’s no carpet, with luxury vinyl plank and tile flooring throughout. The kitchen features painted cabinetry, new countertops, stainless steel appliances and pantry storage, while big-ticket updates include a 2021 roof and HVAC system, plus a newer water heater. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite includes a walk-in closet, and all three bedrooms have been upgraded with customized IKEA closet systems for organized, functional storage. The additional bedrooms offer plenty of flexibility for family, guests or a home office. Sliding glass doors lead to the open back patio, a great spot for grilling, morning coffee or relaxing at the end of the day. The Lakes is an established, tree-filled community with a pool, clubhouse and tennis courts, and the HOA includes grounds and pool maintenance. You can even walk to nearby Norton Elementary, and the central NW Gainesville location puts shopping, restaurants, Santa Fe College and the University of Florida within easy reach.
