Located in one of the most desirable neighborhoods in Gainesville, the beautiful tree-lined streets in Forest Ridge lead to this well-maintained home with a large, fully fenced landscaped yard. Inside you'll find a generous kitchen that opens to a great room with a fireplace and to a dining room, perfect spaces for spending time with family or entertaining. You'll also find engineered wood flooring and new flooring in the upstairs master, tile and carpeting, and fresh paint throughout. Notice the 4 very large bedrooms upstairs and a fifth, sizable bedroom downstairs complete with its own full bathroom. Pass through the back French doors to the spacious screened in porch and private, large wood deck. Close to schools, shopping, entertainment, UF, downtown, and only 200 feet from Ring Park…a park that's great for dog lovers and families with miles of nature trails. Avoid the rush hour traffic and simplify your life by being close to everything!
