About this property

Near UF & Downtown | Spacious Home + Backyard

  • Enjoy the space and comfort of a whole home while staying close to everything that brings you to Gainesville. This inviting home offers multiple living areas, a large fenced backyard, comfortable bedrooms, and plenty of room for your group to spread out—all in a convenient location near the University of Florida and downtown Gainesville.

    One of the best features of this home is the amount of living space. Instead of everyone gathering in one room, you`ll have multiple areas to relax, watch TV, read, or spend time together. The main living area offers comfortable seating and a TV, while the additional light-filled living space overlooks the backyard and gives your group even more room to unwind.

    The kitchen is bright and fully equipped for preparing meals at home, with plenty of cabinetry and counter space. A separate dining area makes it easy to sit down together for breakfast before heading out for the day or enjoy a relaxed dinner at home.

    The bedrooms are comfortable and thoughtfully furnished, making this a great choice for families, friends traveling together, UF parents visiting students, alumni returning for events, or guests coming to Gainesville for an extended stay.

    And then there`s the backyard. The large, fully fenced yard is a standout feature—something you don`t often find this close to central Gainesville. There`s plenty of green space, mature trees, and room to enjoy the Florida weather. The screened porch creates another outdoor living area where you can enjoy your morning coffee or relax at the end of the day without leaving the house.

    A Location That Makes Gainesville Easy
    Staying here puts you in a convenient central Gainesville location with easy access to the University of Florida, Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, downtown Gainesville, restaurants, coffee shops, grocery stores, parks, and other everyday conveniences.

    It`s an especially appealing home for UF visits and Gator weekends because you can stay close to campus without squeezing your entire group into hotel rooms. Come back after a busy day and enjoy a real kitchen, comfortable living areas, private bedrooms, and your own backyard.

    Whether you`re in Gainesville for a UF event, visiting family, attending a game, working in the area, or simply need a comfortable home base for a longer stay, this home gives you the combination that`s hard to beat: space, privacy, outdoor living, and a convenient Gainesville location.
