Welcome home to this fantastic concrete block and stucco 4-bedroom pool home in Gainesville's sought-after Forest Ridge neighborhood. Sited on a beautiful 1/3-acre lot in the back of the neighborhood, this home provides a perfect oasis only two miles from UF, and provides easy access to Shands Hospital as well as nearby shopping and restaurants. Interior features include a sunken living room, dining room, and a large sunny kitchen that opens to the family room with fireplace. French doors off the family room open to a screened room with views of the large pool and beautiful gazebo with summer kitchen! Enjoy peace of mind with a new HVAC (2024), re-pipe (2023), along with other updates. There is a large air conditioned laundry/utility/storage room adjacent to the kitchen that is not included in the heated/cooled square footage. This home is near a small neighborhood park and a nature trail that leads to Alfred Ring Park, a gorgeous 21-acre city park with trails and beautiful views of Gainesville's Hogtown Creek.
