Mid-century Home 2 miles to UF/Downtown/Shands & Walk to Coffee Culture
Walking distance to Coffee Culture, Planet Fitness and Alfred A. Ring Park Trail. Centrally located 2 to 2.5 miles from Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, downtown Gainesville, and UF Health Shands Hospital. Enjoy this comfortable mid-century home featuring vaulted ceilings with impressive exposed beams. This home has been furnished and decorated with a peaceful and comfortable ambiance. Get ready to relax and enjoy Gainesville!
THE SPACE: If you are looking for a comfortable home that is centrally located in a quiet neighborhood in Gainesville, then this is for you! Walking distance to the following: - morning coffee at Coffee Culture - your workout in at Planet Fitness - experience the peaceful trail at Alfred A. Ring Park
You will find a lot of mid-century charm here, including the ceiling with exposed beams, built in closets in every room, and the original wood floors. There is also a built-in oven that many would say works better than modern ovens (heats 50 degrees hotter than the temperature you set). There is also a built-in radio in the wall that doesn't work perfectly without static, but you can still hear the radio on it which many guests find as a neat experience.
For those looking to stay in, a 55-inch flatscreen smart TV with access to Netflix, Hulu, etc. is available. In addition, a stocked kitchen is available for guests to cook and dine at their convenience..
LOCATED: Coffee Culture is on the same block and is a short walk. The coffee is delicious with inexpensive prices, and it's a great place to bring a laptop and get work done. You won't be dissapointed!
The closest grocery store is Winn-Dixie in walking distance. Keep in mind that Ward's Supermarket is a quick 3 minute drive from the house and it has a wide array of fresh produce and plenty of natural and organic options. This is as local as it gets in Gainesville when it comes to grocery stores!
For outdoor lovers, Alfred A. Ring Park is a 10 minute walk away and it's very relaxing nature trail.
OTHER THINGS TO NOTE: Make sure NOT to park on the street that is the same side as the house because it's a tow away zone. The other side of the street is perfectly fine.
There is an external camera looking outside the front door to ensure that the correct amount of guests in the reservation are staying at the property.
