The property is conveniently nearby the Gainesville Airport, Ward’s Supermarket, the Auk Market, Shopping Centers, and Shands. Newly renovated 1946 cottage located on half an acre lot within the North Stephen Foster neighborhood. The 1308 sqft house is set away from the road offering plenty of privacy including a large back patio with an outdoor dining space and charcoal grill.

The interiors boast beautifully designed furnishings to create a welcoming space for gatherings amongst family and friends. The property offers the newest amenities with all the upgrades including a restored electric vintage fireplace.

The newly remodeled modern kitchen is fully equipped for cooking your favorite meals or you can grill outside on the patio for the game day. The yard is spacious and calming with plenty of room everyone!

All three bedrooms are on the 2nd floor so climbing stairs is required. Please park in front yard closest to the house.

The property can only accommodate (8) people max for an overnight stay. If guests want to host a gathering; we have a (15) person maximum at all times. Please Note: Any special gatherings need to be approved by host with an additional fee. Thank you.

The neighborhood is secluded and quiet featuring the classic old Florida historic charm. The neighbors are friendly and keep to themselves. The streets are lined with traditional ranch style houses each with their own quirky aesthetics. The neighborhood is truly unique and one of a kind. No cookie-cutter suburban vibes here!

The property is located in North West Gainesville within the Stephen Foster neighborhood. It’s conveniently nearby the Gainesville Airport and the famous Ward’s Supermarket, the Auk Market, and close to Lowes on 13th & 23rd.

The location is only 4 miles from UF Shands, and not far from all the amenities Gainesville has to offer; including 2.5 miles to Ironwood Golf Course and 4 miles to H Spurgeon Cherry Westside Pool and Water Park!
