One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Must-see beautiful 5-bedroom, 3-and-a-half bathroom home in NW Gainesville’s desirable Emerald Woods subdivision (no HOA fees). Don’t miss out on this impeccably maintained home safely tucked away in the back of the neighborhood. Extremely private and quiet. There are no visible neighbors outside the back side of the house, just beautiful natural scenery giving a complete sense of privacy while still being near the heart of town (1.5 miles to Santa Fe College), 6.5 miles to UF, and downtown Gainesville. The home has much space to spread out, featuring two large living rooms, vaulted ceilings, and a private attached mother-in-law suite with an optional second private entrance. At the heart of the home is a beautifully remodeled kitchen with expansive counter space, an abundance of cabinetry, high-end appliances, and a long island breakfast bar big enough to fit the whole family! All this is capped off with a real-brick wood-burning fireplace and incredible views of the beautiful private backyard. In addition, the house has a spacious mudroom, two garages, and three outdoor porches/patios to help you enjoy the outdoor privacy even more! Throughout the house, you will find upgraded tilt-out windows and French doors with screens, allowing you to enjoy good weather and let in the fresh air and breeze in with ease. On the second floor, there is a skylight, multiple large windows, and French doors leading out to a private master balcony overlooking the backyard. Perfect for morning coffee. This is truly a unique home you won’t want to miss seeing. Schedule a viewing today!
