5730 NW 28th Ter, Gainesville, FL 32653

Under contract-accepting backup offers. Welcome to 5730 NW 28th Terrace—a lovingly maintained modified ranch in Gainesville’s Northwood Pines. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers 1,267 square feet of smart, inviting living space that blends vintage warmth with everyday functionality. Step inside to a formal living and dining area that sets a polished first impression—perfect for keeping tidy or hosting guests. Beyond, through a pocket door, the heart of the home opens up: a spacious kitchen with generous prep space and breakfast bar, flows directly into a cozy den with a floor-to-ceiling brick faced wood-burning fireplace and rich pecky cypress walls. A large sliding glass door connects this central living space to the backyard, where you’ll find lush landscaping, a pergola-covered patio, and a fire pit area—all fully fenced and remarkably private. The home’s layout places all three bedrooms along one side, flowing from front to back rather than directly across from the main living area, with pocket doors offering quiet separation between public and private spaces. Whether you need a retreat for remote work, rest, or play, this home lives much larger than its square footage suggests. Upgrades include newer windows, luxury vinyl plank flooring and an owners suite bath re-do. Plus a sprinkler system, two-car garage with storage cabinets and room to work on your projects, and termite bond. Located on a corner lot in a community-oriented neighborhood just minutes from shopping, dining, top schools, medical centers, UF/Shands/VA, and the airport, this home offers comfort, connection, and lasting value.
