Less than 5 minutes, and only a mile and a half from UF, here is your opportunity to live in Forest Ridge, a non-HOA subdivision. Located due north of campus on NW 22nd Street, this mid-century modern home was built in 1965, within the first year of Forest Ridge’s development. All major mechanicals have been upgraded for you – the home has been re-piped, the metal roof installed in 2019 with a 25-year manufacturer warranty, 2021 porcelain tile floors in the kitchen and nook, a new 2023 HVAC, and an April 2024 water heater. Original terrazzo floors flow throughout the main living area, bedroom hallway, and the bedrooms for easy maintenance. The kitchen was remodeled to include custom wood cabinets, granite counters, a tile back-splash and stainless-steel appliances. One on end of the kitchen is a pantry and a double door closet that houses the washer/dryer, and a door that exits onto the 2-car carport. On the opposite end is the breakfast nook with sliding glass doors that open onto the screened porch. This ranch-style home features the three bedrooms off of the family room. Two guest rooms share a full hallway bath with original shower tile and updated vanity and toilet. The master bedroom has a nook perfect for an armoire or desk. The master bathroom has been tastefully updated to include a single sink vanity, a step-in shower with pretty, modern tile and an in-shower bench., and walk-in closet outfitted in 2020 with two custom IKEA closet systems including custom hanging areas and drawer for storage. Stretching across the nook and family room is the screened rear porch. Complete with tile, this three-sided screened area extends your living space outdoors. In the rear yard is a slab tiled area with a semi-perimeter wall for casual seating and for hosting barbeques with friends. The yard is fully fenced with a low maintenance vinyl privacy fence. There is also a small shed in the corner of the yard for storage. The attached carport has direct access into the house. Opposite the house access door is an enclosed closet that is 7 ft x 20 ft for storage. This home also has designated road parking spots. Forest Ridge is in a great location that’s close to Santa Fe College, downtown Gainesville, UF, UF Health, and the Gainesville airport. This home is also within a few minutes’ walk to hiking trails through the abutting Ring Park and close to Loblolly Woods.
