From the moment you walk in, you’ll appreciate the open layout, warm wood-look floors (with no carpet anywhere), and thoughtful touches throughout. The heart of the home is the kitchen—a dream space for anyone who loves to cook or bake. You’ll find a gas cooktop with a true exhaust hood, wall oven and microwave, stainless steel appliances, and a massive walk-in pantry. The oversized island is perfect for everything from morning coffee to rolling out cookie dough. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the spacious living and dining areas, all overlooking the large screened lanai. And yes—the gas grill out back is included and already connected to natural gas, making outdoor cooking a breeze. The backyard is fully fenced and a great size for relaxing or playing. The split bedroom layout offers privacy, with two guest rooms and a full bath near the front of the home, and the primary suite tucked away in the back. The owner's suite features a large walk-in shower, double vanities, and a custom walk-in closet. All bedrooms include ceiling fans, and the laundry room comes complete with a washer and dryer. Bonus: the two-car garage has extra storage built in. Grand Oaks is a popular neighborhood with a pool, pavilion, and playground, conveniently located in SW Gainesville near UF, Shands, Celebration Pointe, and Butler Plaza.
