7820 NW 20TH LANE GAINESVILLE FL 32605 MLS #GC526223

Lovely brick and Hardi Board traditional pool home located on a cul-de-sac in the convenient neighborhood of Shenandoah, minutes from Santa Fe Community College, UF, I-75, and great shopping. Boasting a very private lot full of stunning granddaddy oaks, this 4 bedroom (or 3 bedroom with study) 2.5 bath home offers a flexible floor plan with all public areas graced with gleaming wood floors. The main house consists of 2996 heated and cooled space and the air-conditioned enclosed porch adds another 586 sq. ft. of additional living for a total of 3582 heated and cooled. Approaching the residence you are greeted by a welcoming brick courtyard area featuring landscape lighting leading to the double front doors into the foyer. Off to the left is a large Great Room with brick gas fireplace, views to the pool area, and french doors to the air conditioned porch. A side area off the Great Room can accommodate a game table or breakfast area. Off the right side of the foyer is the study or 4th bedroom with two sets of built-ins (formally the closets), a large picture window over-looking the front courtyard, and a second door that opens to the Guest Room side of the house. The updated kitchen is loaded with personality and features wood glazed cream cabinets, island with shelving and glass doors, granite counters with designer backsplash, stainless appliances, a wet bar area, and a over-sized panty with custom shelving. An adjacent corner area can accommodate a breakfast nook. Open to the kitchen is a large room with wood floors that the current owner used as a formal Dining Room and showcases crown molding, crystal chandelier, and double doors to the air conditioned lanai. Off of this area is a charming half bath for guests. The Owner’s Suite is adjacent to the Great Room off a private foyer and is a split plan from the Guest Rooms. Oversized and featuring plantation shutters, the Owner’s Suite is large enough for a sitting area which opens through french doors to a private and romantic brick courtyard which winds around to the pool. The owner’s bath features two separate and expansive vanities, one with dressing table area, a jetted tub, walk-in shower, private water closet and bidet, and huge walk in closet. On the Study side of the house are two additional Guest Rooms, both with plantation shutters and both serviced by an over-sized hall tub bath with door to the lanai to double as the pool bath. The air conditioned tiled lanai is lined with large windows to take in the beautiful yard and majestic oaks and opens from one side to the pool area. Stepping out of the lanai is a large tiled upper lounging deck area that steps down to the pool and spa featuring a new one year old screen enclosure, 2 year old heater, and an automatic pool sweep. A large inside laundry with built-in cabinets and sink and an over-sized two car garage complete the picture. With two new 2020 hot water heaters and 2015 roof, this timeless home is ready for your personal touch.
