If you are a biker this is a prime spot with instant access to the Archer Braid trail and if you commute east in the morning for work, you would be on the south side of Archer Rd and can zip right out to work. This home features a roof installed in 2015 as well as a hot water heater and AC unit from 2016. This summer, the home received a makeover with fresh interior paint, new LVP flooring throughout the living spaces, updated blinds, a serviced and cleaned AC unit, cleaned ducts, butcher block countertops, a new kitchen sink with faucet, and a brand-new stove. The home is on septic, with GRU water, and Clay for electric. With the wood siding in excellent condition, this would be a smooth purchase for all types of mortgages; conventional, FHA, VA, and USDA! No flood zones to worry about either! This is such a prime spot and with a full acre adorned with mature trees and grass, you can feel like you have a great parcel of land without sacrificing any of the modern conveniences that Gainesville has to offer. With the updates the home received this summer, this is a move in ready property with nothing to add to your to-do list except unpack and enjoy the home and land. Make an appointment to see this desirable home today!
