You won’t be disappointed! Located in the Sugarfoot neighborhood (AKA Anglewood/Fletcher Heights) in the heart of the city, this concrete block home has curb appeal and character galore: Beautiful, original hardwood floors throughout most of the home; a Florida/flex room (office? family room? studio for dancer/artist?) with the original quarry tile flooring (under carpet), built-in bookshelves surrounding a gas fireplace, plus a huge picture window overlooking a large flagstone patio and landscaped back yard on a .34-acre lot; roof new in Feb. 2021; HVAC and water heater new in 2013; house re-plumbed in 2008; house exterior freshly painted and front awning replaced in fall 2021; oversized 2-car attached garage; small enclosed sun room just off the kitchen; great floor plan; large rooms in 2,148 heated/cooled square feet of living space. This home has been lovingly cared for by generations of the same family since it was built in 1962. It’s an easy walk to Green Acres Park, where there are community gardens, playground and exercise equipment. You can walk to Clear Lake and watch the sunset. The HOA is voluntary. City bus stops are just outside the neighborhood. So are restaurants, theaters, shopping and Gainesville Health and Fitness Club and 2.5 miles west is Oaks Mall.
