About this home
This one may not be for you, but for the right person, it an absolute find! Under $200,000, NO HOA, NO HOA DUES, NO CONDO FEES! This 3-bedroom, 1-bath, 1950's cottage offers a great combination: a cute house, original wood floors, a nice fenced yard, mature trees, real privacy, and a house with some personality that is NOT a fixer-upper. Plus, it's been well maintained without having all of its character renovated away. The original pine floors are still here, the covered front porch feels just right, and the interior has some definite BOHO vibes that fit the cottage-style architecture surprisingly well. A brand new roof and new water heater take care of two, important, big-ticket updates. The lot is also big part of what makes this one worth seeing. Mature trees surround the property, giving you a wonderful level of privacy. And, you're just far enough outside Gainesville to get a rural, small-town feel without giving up a practical commute: 14 minutes to Haile Village Center, 20 minutes to Butler Town Center, 23 minutes to HCA Florida North Florida Hospital, and 26 minutes to Shands and the VA. Come see this real 1950s cottage in a quaint town, good condition, with original floors, established trees, a little personality, and a lot more privacy than you'd expect at this price.
