714 NW 40TH TERRACE GAINESVILLE FL 32607 MLS #GC530106

Standing at the top of the hill on a quiet street in the center of town, this four bedroom three and a half bathroom mid century home is fully updated and ready for its new owners. Entering the foyer from the massive tiled front porch with towering columns, a pair of French doors open at the left to a formal living room currently set as an office and sitting area with two work spaces. Before reaching the beautiful oak staircase, a hall to the right leads to a half bathroom and one of the two huge primary suites. Continuing to the back of the home, you’ll find an open remodeled kitchen with stainless appliances, quartz counters and a breakfast bar, an informal dining area, a spacious den, and a separate formal dining room – all with sweeping views of the paver patio and fenced and landscaped back yard shaded by mature oaks. Upstairs, the oversized primary suite is flooded with natural light and includes two large walk-in closets. Two more generously sized bedrooms and an updated bathroom complete the second floor. New insulated windows and an upgraded HVAC system, as well as a new solar power system (paid in full), ensure modern efficiency in this classic home, and the private well for irrigation helps keep the water bill down. A horseshoe driveway provides plenty of parking for guests and leads to a side entry two car garage and outdoor storage room. One of Gainesville’s best kept secrets, Twin Pines was the site of the 1964 Parade of Homes and is convenient to shopping and dining options, parks and preserves, North Florida Regional, VA and Shands Hospitals, I-75, Santa Fe College, and the University of Florida.
