Experience the rare combination of privacy, acreage, and in-town convenience with this beautifully updated 4-bedroom, 2-bath home set on over two acres in the heart of West Gainesville, just one mile west of I-75.

The fully renovated hall bathroom features a 60-inch vanity, tub/shower combination, and updated flooring. Large windows throughout fill the home with natural light, enhancing its open and inviting feel.

Value check
Is the price right?
The internet’s favorite home-value number comes from a single automated model that has never seen the street, the finishes, or the view — which is why it routinely misses by tens of thousands of dollars. The edgeAI estimate combines multiple independent data sources with our team’s on-the-ground expertise in this exact market.
