One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. There’s something special about turning onto the quiet streets of Willow Oak in SW Gainesville. Maybe it’s the way the neighborhood feels tucked away from the rush of the day, or how each home reflects pride of ownership. As you approach this custom-built 3-bedroom, 2-bath home, the inviting front porch almost seems to greet you, hinting at the comfort and care waiting inside. With over 1,700 square feet of thoughtfully designed space and a brand-new roof installed in June 2025, this is a home that’s been prepared for its next chapter. Step through the front door, and you’re welcomed by a spacious foyer that opens into a home filled with warmth and quiet elegance. Sunlight filters through plantation shutters, casting soft light across crown molding and updated fixtures. The kitchen sits at the heart of it all, where granite countertops and an easy, open layout make everything—from busy mornings to relaxed evenings—feel effortless. You can imagine coffee at the breakfast bar, holiday meals in the dining room, and conversations that linger long after dinner ends. The home’s three-way split floorplan creates a natural sense of privacy, giving everyone their own space while still bringing you together in the main living areas. And just beyond the living room, French doors open to a paver patio that feels like your own private escape. It’s easy to picture weekend cookouts with the built-in gas grill hookup, quiet evenings under the stars, or simply enjoying the Florida air after a long day. Life here is not only comfortable—it’s convenient. The home sits in a peaceful part of the community, just a short walk from the neighborhood pool and cabana, where afternoons can be spent unwinding close to home. And when it’s time to head out, you’re only minutes from I-75, making travel and commuting simple. Nearby shopping, local restaurants, and everyday conveniences are all close at hand, while UF, Shands, and the VA are just a short drive away. Over time, this house becomes more than walls and rooms. It becomes the place where mornings begin slowly, where friends gather easily, and where coming home always feels like the best part of the day.
