Property Description
Built in 1970, the home and neighborhood reflect the charm, mature landscaping, and generous lot sizes that are increasingly difficult to find in newer communities. If you enjoy walks through nature, take a stroll over to Alfred A. Ring Nature Park and Hogtown Creek and make the most of what Gainesville has to offer. With easy access to the University of Florida, UF Health, the VA Hospital, and the shops and restaurants of Downtown Gainesville and Thornebrook Village, nature isn't the only thing you will feel connected to while living in Forest Ridge.
Inside, the home offers comfortable and functional living spaces designed to suit a variety of lifestyles. The spacious living and dining areas are filled with natural light, while the kitchen provides abundant cabinet storage and flows easily into the breakfast area and screened patio. The large screened porch creates the perfect place to relax, entertain, or simply enjoy the quiet backyard setting year-round. The home also features generous closet space, a spacious laundry room, and a layout that feels both practical and welcoming.
Recent updates provide peace of mind and modern comfort, including new exterior paint, a new garage door and motor, all new ceiling fans and light fixtures, and a new dryer. One of the standout features of the property is the rarely found Permalock 50-year metal shingle roof. With a four-point inspection and wind mitigation report completed following the 2025 roof replacement, this home offers valuable insurance benefits and added confidence for future homeowners.
With its private setting, timeless neighborhood character, and unbeatable central Gainesville location, this Forest Ridge home offers a unique opportunity to enjoy space, charm, and convenience all in one.
