Nestled on a peaceful 1-acre lot in the heart of Southwest Gainesville, this charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath home is the kind of place that invites you to slow down and enjoying your surroundings. Tucked away in the quiet, peaceful neighborhood of Willow Bend and surrounded by mature trees and nature, it offers the rare feeling of a peaceful retreat while still being just minutes from everything you need- the perfect balance of privacy and convenience. Inside, every space calls you to settle in and stay awhile. The custom built-in library creates the perfect nook to curl up with your favorite book, enjoy a quiet morning coffee, or work from home in a space that inspires calm and creativity. The large eat-in kitchen has ample storage space, and recently updated appliances including a double oven to make hosting gatherings a breeze. Just beyond the living spaces, the back porch becomes an extension of the home—a peaceful place to view the garden, listen to the birds, and unwind after a busy day. You will enjoy the Mandarin, Grape Fruit, and Meyer Lemon trees that have been planted and nurtured with care, and a shed to store your gardening tools. The fully-fenced acre offers the space for family and pets to roam safely. Whether you're gathering with friends, enjoying family dinners outdoors, or simply soaking in the beauty of the natural surroundings, you'll find yourself wanting to spend as much time outside as you do in. Cozy and full of character, the home was designed for everyday comfort featuring a double garage and offers peace of mind with recent updates including 2019 HVAC, 2018 roof, 2023 water heater, and a whole home water softener. Located in one of Southwest Gainesville's most sought-after areas with highly desirable schools, this one won't last long. Schedule your showing today.
