About 5021 W University Ave

Are you looking for a private 1.35-acre oasis with a completely remodeled block construction home in the heart of Gainesville, but feels like you’re worlds away on a private preserve? Look no further because this is your opportunity! This home has been completely redone from the ground up with a new roof (2024), new dual pane windows (2024), new HVAC (2024), new water heater (2024), new exterior paint (2024). The interior of the home boasts brand-new stainless-steel appliances, LVP flooring throughout, new countertops and cabinets in the kitchen, new vanities in both bathrooms, fresh interior paint, new lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. As you wind your way through the quaint tucked away neighborhood of Sugarfoot, you will find this gem down a semi-private drive that is lined with beautiful natural landscaping in all directions. As you arrive home you have all the conveniences of modern day living while being secluded from the unvarying lifestyle of a typical suburban neighborhood. Take your pick of a full-sized two-car garage attached to the home or another full-sized detached garage perfect for extra storage or additional covered parking. As you enter the home you will find a delightful open concept living and dining area that seamlessly flows into the beautiful kitchen. Look out the kitchen window for glimpses of natural Florida wildlife of all shapes and sizes. Journey down the hallway to find two guest bedrooms with plenty of room to stretch out and relax. Continue to the primary bedroom to find even more room, a walk-in closet and en-suite bath. Exit through the dual paned sliding glass door to find an enclosed screened-in back porch perfect for relaxing after a long day in one of the most gorgeous natural settings you will find in Gainesville. All this while being only minutes from shopping, dining and the University of Florida and Shands. A bonus – your side yard is literally right next to the Clear Lake Nature Park with an amazing .5 mile loop to really explore the nature and wildlife that North Central Florida has to offer!
