Property Description

Under contract-accepting backup offers. For the first time in nearly 80 years, this Finley Heights home is ready for its new owners. Opportunity knocks in one of Gainesville's most convenient and established locations. Just minutes to the University of Florida, UF Health, downtown Gainesville, and nearby shopping and dining, it's hard to beat the accessibility and long-term value of this NW address. The home offers 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms on a generous third-acre lot, less than 2 miles from UF. A NEW roof was installed in 2024, taking care of one of the big-ticket items. Inside, you'll find two separate living areas filled with natural light, giving the layout flexibility and room to reimagine the space. The water heater was installed in 2013, and some plumbing and electrical upgrades have been made over the years, including a 2003 electric panel. Laundry room off the kitchen and the washer and dryer are included. This is a fixer-upper and is priced accordingly. The bones are solid, the footprint makes sense, and there's real potential here for someone willing to put in the work. One unique feature is how easily the layout could be adjusted to create a 3/1 main home plus an attached 1/1 with its own private entrance - ideal for rental income, an in-law suite, or a student housing setup. In a location that consistently rents well, that flexibility adds meaningful upside. There's also plenty of parking, including a two-car carport with a screened-in front porch, and room on the lot to improve curb appeal or expand outdoor living over time.
