11719 NE 7th Ave, Gainesville, FL 32641

This classic 1960's Florida ranch style home is located in the charming historic community of Windsor on the east side of Gainesville, Florida. Just a 20-25 minute drive to downtown, Shands hospital and University of Florida. The house is nestled in a beautiful natural setting. It's surrounded by towering pines, magnolia trees, and flowering azaleas hedges, and it's within walking distance of the ancient old growth forest and Newnan's Lake Shoreline. The house is located on .5 acres at the end of a paved neighborhood street. The neighborhood is quiet and friendly, private and secure. Listen to the quiet and enjoy the song birds and butterflies while sitting in the comfort of a screened in porch. Enter this beautiful home through an inviting all glass and wood "traditional" Florida sunroom. The spacious kitchen has an electric stove and refrigerator, cabinets, and a built in kitchen bar. In addition to 2 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, the house also boasts two spare rooms (great for a home office and/or crafting and/or hobby space). The kitchen door opens to garden boxes and a large, sunny backyard perfect for outdoor entertaining. The charming interior was recently updated with new durable floors, modern light fixtures, and counter tops while maintaining a wooden cabin like feel with wood cabinets, and unique craftsman details. Most rooms have ceiling fans and bright natural lighting through windows that actually open. The central AC/heat pump system was recently improved to insure superior air circulation and comfort. There is a large utility room with laundry hook ups, dry storage shelving, plus an attached carport. There are also several small out buildings for garden tools and dry storage. Utility providers are Cox Communications and Clay Electric. The house is on well water and a septic system. Although the property is not fenced, well behaved pets are welcome contingent on an in-person meeting. Monthly pet rent, and refundable security deposit will be discussed at interview. This cozy little home offers a unique country living experience, close to the city and with modern convenience but surrounded by the wild beauty of real Florida! We are looking for a renter that shares our appreciation and for respect for this cozy older home, community and the amazing natural Florida that surrounds us. We have walking trails that lead to the lake, a creek, giant oak trees, and wild azaleas bloom during spring. You will be living on a wildlife sanctuary at the edge of a 600 acre body of water. The sunsets are remarkable and a public boat ramp and park is about a mile away. There is a small winery down the road and recreational hiking or biking trails in either direction, but the closest convenience store is at least 10 miles away. The perfect renter will be tolerant of abounding wildlife: bald eagles, the occasional bobcat, deer, raccoons, lizards, and yes, snakes and spiders! The perfect renter will be gentle on this well built and maintained, older home.
