2057 SW 44TH AVENUE

This charming, single-family house is embedded in nature but within minutes of the University, downtown, and Shands. Newly updated, the home offers spacious, open concept living with vaulted ceilings, a wood-burning stone fireplace, and three sets of French doors leading to a screened veranda. Major updates include the metal roof (2016), fully renovated kitchen and main bathroom (2020), A/C (2018), and tankless hot water heater (2020). The kitchen is equipped with new stainless-steel appliances, including a GE Profile range and Bosch microwave and dishwasher, and the panoramic window above the sink brings in plenty of light. The large main bedroom is defined by a stunning cedar feature wall that wraps onto the ceiling, accompanied by a large walk-in closet and a bathroom with an expansive walk-in shower, double vanity, and modern fixtures. Two additional bedrooms are located down a separate hallway, alongside laundry and a bathroom with a shower/tub combination. Across the home are two flexible living spaces, currently used as a den and an office. The sizable back screened porch is an ideal place to enjoy a quiet evening with family. The house sits on a large lot that backs to the 124-acre Seronola Forest Preserve and boasts mature, high producing citrus trees. You won’t find another property that brings you this close to nature while still only ten minutes from the conveniences of Butler Plaza as well as the cultural life of downtown Gainesville and the University. This well-maintained home combines modern amenities with the charm of a country residence.
