Welcome to a home filled with character, warmth and an unmistakable Old Florida feel, set on over an acre of park-like grounds in desirable Geneva Lake Estates. This lovingly cared-for 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers nearly 2,000 square feet with a wonderfully flexible floor plan and an abundance of natural light. Three living areas and two dining spaces provide plenty of room to spread out, including a living room anchored by a beautiful wood-burning stone fireplace, an oversized family room that could easily accommodate a game room, media room, home office or additional gathering space, and a window-filled Florida room overlooking the lush backyard. The kitchen serves as the hub of the home, offering a pantry, generous workspace and a built-in buffet with abundant storage and a granite countertop perfect for serving and entertaining. Large windows throughout bring the outdoors in and showcase the beautiful established landscape filled with crepe myrtles, gardenias, azaleas, magnolias, palms, bird of paradise, blue plumbago and so many more. The colorful gardens and mature tree canopy create a peaceful setting enjoyed by butterflies, birds and hummingbirds. Bedrooms are carpeted, with a mix of LVP and tile throughout the main living areas, and important updates include a 2022 HVAC, 2023 ROOF, 2024 WATER HEATER, newer windows and fresh interior paint. Step outside and the personality of this property really comes to life. Tucked among the gardens is an absolutely charming, storybook-like garden shed with a decorative cupola, stained-glass window and gardening sink. Far more memorable than an ordinary storage building, it is just waiting to become a gardening retreat, hobby space, workshop or she shed. A circular drive and two-car carport add everyday convenience. The home itself sits on just over half an acre, and the included adjoining parcel is just under half an acre, partially cleared, dotted with mature trees and buildable, providing additional privacy today and exciting possibilities for the future. Buyers who don't need the additional land also have the option to purchase the home without the adjoining parcel. Best of all, there is NO HOA. Surrounded by the lakes and natural beauty that make Melrose special, Geneva Lake Estates offers a relaxed small-town lifestyle while remaining convenient to Gainesville, UF, hospitals, shopping and dining. This isn't a cookie-cutter property. It's a home and setting with personality, flexibility and a combination of features that is increasingly hard to find.
