2006 NW 14TH AVENUE, Gainesville, Alachua, Residential

Price Improvement! Mid-century modern in Florida Park, under two miles from UF, cared for by the same owners for more than three decades. GRU bills have been running under $100 a month, thanks to a 39-panel solar array with a Tesla Powerwall 2 backup battery and automatic switchover.

The living room sets the tone with a 12 ft tongue and groove ceiling, exposed beams, a cultured stone gas fireplace, and double sliders out to the patio, with hardwood running through all the living areas. The kitchen has custom wood cabinetry, Corian counters, a gas cooktop, and stainless appliances. A music and media room is lined with custom built-ins.

The owner's suite has dual closets, built-ins, and a bath with dual vanities, a walk-in shower, and an electric towel warmer. The large bonus room has a skylight, an electric fireplace, built-in bookcases and counters, a wine cooler, and its own exterior entrance, with the fourth bedroom right beside it. Perfect as a guest or in-law suite for multi-generational family.

Another bedroom is set up as an office with a walk-in closet and a digital Liberty safe. Three full baths, one with a cast iron tub. Updates include a 24-gauge standing seam metal roof (2023) and double-pane windows and sliders.

Washer and gas dryer are included. Outside, the oversized corner lot has a circular drive lined with azaleas and palms, a tiled semicircular patio with a wood-burning grill and hood, a fully fenced backyard, a detached 10x10 workshop with power, and a 12x12 Trex deck overlooking the wooded buffer along Hogtown Creek. Walk to Ring Park, the creek trails, and nearby shopping.
