Description

One or more photos were virtually staged (fire shown in fireplace). Shaded by native sycamores in summer and bathed in gentle warmth come winter, this fully restored 1,200 sq ft, 3-bedroom, 1-bath country home rests on a private 1.25-acre setting along a paved road, just 15 minutes from Gainesville. Thoughtful, practical upgrades set it apart from the start - a sturdy metal roof, a newer air conditioner, and a newer water heater mean the big-ticket items are already handled.Past the spacious front yard and covered entry, the interior opens to an airy, light-filled layout. Newer laminate flooring runs underfoot, and a welcoming dining space flows seamlessly into a sunlit kitchen outfitted with sleek stainless steel appliances. Just beyond, a cozy rear living room anchors the home, its classic masonry stone wood-burning fireplace made for cool evenings and the crackle of a real fire. On the opposite wing, three comfortable bedrooms share a tastefully modernized full bath.Step onto the covered back patio to catch a gentle breeze, then head to the garage, which conveniently houses the laundry. Beyond the patio, a sprawling, level backyard framed by natural woods and dramatic clumping bamboo offers room to spare for weekend gatherings, gardening, or stargazing under wide country skies.Tucked into the quiet countryside of Archer with no HOA fees, this property delivers a serene rural lifestyle just 20 minutes from Butler Plaza, Celebration Pointe, the University of Florida, and UF Health Shands Hospital. Nearby, outdoor escapes like Blue Springs Park and Devil's Den await - and it's only 20 minutes from the World Equestrian Center, putting world-class equestrian events and dining within easy reach.Schedule your private tour today and experience everything this exceptional property has to offer!
