Tucked away on a 1.25-acre lot in the desirable Willow Bend subdivision, this renovated home offers the perfect blend of modern updates and peaceful country living-all without the restrictions of an HOA. From the moment you arrive, you'll appreciate the privacy provided by mature trees and the sense of space that is increasingly hard to find this close to Gainesville's conveniences. Inside, the transformation is immediately evident. The heart of the home is the stunning new kitchen, thoughtfully redesigned with stylish wood cabinetry, quartz countertops, and an oversized breakfast bar that opens seamlessly into the dining area, creating an ideal space for gathering with family and friends. New tile flooring flows throughout most of the home, complementing the soaring vaulted ceilings, cozy wood-burning fireplace, and French doors that invite natural light and backyard views into the living spaces. The spacious owner's suite has been beautifully remodeled into a private retreat, thoughtfully separated from the additional bedrooms for added comfort and privacy. A kitchen dinette provides the perfect spot for morning coffee, while the large pantry, oversized utility room, and two-car garage offer exceptional functionality and storage. Outside, an open wood deck overlooks the expansive backyard, providing endless opportunities for entertaining, gardening, pets, play, or simply enjoying the tranquil surroundings. Major improvements including a brand-new metal roof and new rear windows add both value and peace of mind. Located just minutes from I-75, shopping, dining, UF Health, HCA Florida North Florida Hospital, and the University of Florida, this move-in-ready property delivers the rare combination of acreage, privacy, and convenience that so many buyers are searching for.
