Ideally located directly across from the University of Florida campus and UF Health Shands Hospital, and just one block from Sorority Row, this iconic white brick home with its distinctive orange and blue shutters is one of the best-known student rental properties in the UF corridor. 1254 SW 9th Road offers 6 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and 2,579 square feet of living space on a 0.23-acre lot. Zoned U-9 (University Urban Core) for residential, multifamily, and commercial uses, the property is also located within an Opportunity Zone, providing exceptional long-term investment and redevelopment potential. Designed with student living in mind, several of the oversized bedrooms are large enough to comfortably accommodate two students, creating outstanding rental flexibility and income potential. A separate cottage-style 1-bedroom, 1-bath living area provides additional options for rental income, guest accommodations, private living quarters, or a home office. The home features real hardwood floors, an updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances and newer cabinetry, a newer HVAC system, spacious living areas, and a distinctive spiral staircase that gives the home character rarely found in student housing. Outdoor amenities are equally impressive, including a welcoming covered front porch, a charming brick front patio, and a large rear wood deck overlooking a scenic creek, creating an ideal setting for entertaining or relaxing. A dedicated full-size laundry room adds convenience. The property also features six dedicated on-site parking spaces, plus abundant on-street parking, an exceptionally rare amenity in this prime campus location. With outstanding visibility and frontage along SW 9th Road, unmatched proximity to the University of Florida, UF Health Shands Hospital, and Sorority Row, flexible zoning, strong rental potential, and future redevelopment possibilities, this is a truly exceptional opportunity for investors, parents purchasing housing for students, or anyone seeking a landmark property in one of Gainesville’s most desirable and high-demand locations. For buyers seeking an extraordinary investment opportunity, the adjacent property at 949 SW 13th St. is also available and may be purchased together as a package for $2.2 million. This 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home is currently leased, providing immediate rental income, and offers plenty of parking.
