Surrounded by mature trees and backing to a serene, wooded backdrop, the home provides a peaceful retreat with no rear neighbors-creating a truly secluded setting. Inside, the home has been thoughtfully updated with a neutral, designer-inspired palette and luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout the main living areas, complemented by plush carpeting in the bedrooms. The open-concept floorplan is anchored by a cozy wood-burning fireplace, while dual French doors on either side of the living space invite in natural light and frame picturesque views of the expansive wood deck and tranquil backyard. Designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining, the kitchen flows seamlessly into the living area and features a generous bar-height counter for casual dining, along with a separate dining space. Just off the kitchen, a versatile flex area offers the perfect opportunity for a home office, desk station, or butler's pantry, with a discreetly tucked-away laundry area nearby. The outdoor living space is equally inviting-ideal for morning coffee, quiet evenings, or gathering with guests while enjoying the sights and sounds of nature. Impeccably maintained and showcasing true pride of ownership, this home offers the rare feel of a private woodland cottage while remaining just moments from the conveniences of Haile Village. Enjoy the popular weekly farmers market, scenic walking trails, boutique shopping, and local dining. Optional membership to Hawkstone Country Club provides access to golf, tennis, and resort-style pool amenities. A unique opportunity to experience elevated cottage living in one of Gainesville's most desirable communities. Schedule your private showing today.
