Character and modern updates define this 3-bed, 2-bath home situated on a sprawling 0.34-acre corner lot just 3 miles from the University of Florida! The 1,498 sq ft residence stands out for its durable stucco and stone exterior, a roof installed in 2023, and high-efficiency double-pane windows that refresh the traditional ranch profile. The front lawn and established garden beds frame the picturesque walkway that leads to a beautiful front door offering timeless curb appeal. Once inside, you are immediately greeted by an expansive open-concept great room where rich engineered hardwood floors stretch from the entrance into the common areas and down the hallway. This central hub flows into a modern farmhouse eat-in kitchen that includes an apron-front sink, gas stove with artisan backsplash, oversized breakfast bar, industrial-chic lighting, and a skylight bathing the space in natural light. Beyond the social center of the home, the private hallway leads to the sleeping quarters where unique bespoke bedroom doors add a touch of handcrafted elegance, and the guest bathroom features an updated vanity and tub-shower combination. The primary suite boasts an ensuite with a walk-in shower for personal comfort. Sliding glass doors off the great room open to a spacious screened porch, perfect for enjoying the Florida breeze before stepping out to the large, partially fenced backyard which includes a storage shed and plenty of room for gardening. Practicality is rounded out by a one-car garage that houses the laundry area and efficient natural gas systems. Tucked within the established Palm View Estates, this property places you a block from city transit and a short stroll from the nature trails at Westside Park and the boutique shops of Millhopper.
