Set on a generous 0.44-acre lot in the tranquil Northwood Oaks community, this 3-bed, 2-bath home offers a solid foundation and a fantastic head start for those ready to add their own personal touch. Significant "peace of mind" updates have already been addressed, including a new roof (2022) with gutters, a newer hot water heater, and a brand-new stove. As you step through the front door, you are immediately greeted by a spacious light-filled living room with luxury vinyl plank flooring. Designed for connection, the heart of the home showcases a streamlined kitchen that opens seamlessly to the dining area. While the property offers plenty of opportunity for your own creative updates, the middle bedroom features brand-new flooring (2026), the primary bath has already been refreshed with a new shower and vanity, and the guest bath includes a new vanity. Everyday practicality is built-in with a dedicated laundry space—complete with a new exterior door and a washer and dryer that stay with the home. The transition from the interior to the outdoors is seamless; from the dining area, you are invited out to the recently screened-in porch, a private gallery from which to view your expansive, fully fenced backyard—a massive canvas of green space offering plenty of room for little ones to play. Whether you are relaxing indoors or utilizing the oversized two-car garage with its new fire door and quiet opener, every corner of this 1,365 sq ft residence shows the care of a well-maintained property. Perfectly positioned in Northwest Gainesville, you are just minutes from UF, Shands, and HCA Florida North Florida Hospital, as well as the local favorites at Magnolia Parke and the natural beauty of Devil’s Millhopper Geological State Park.
