THIS EXCEPTIONAL HOME IS UNIQUE, IN AN A-RATED SCHOOL DISTRICT, AND IT'S MAINTENANCE FREE. Perfect for families of all ages, it's an exquisite 3 bed/ 3 bath home in desirable Meadowbrook. There's no other home in Meadowbrook that has a double lot with a 1,904 sq. ft. two-story home and a huge walled-in, very private New Orleans style brick courtyard. The home has 2,716 sq.ft. under roof, and greatly expanded living space due to the enormous courtyard with its garden areas, built-in barbeque station, wrought iron gates, and Roman wall fountain. Because all downstairs rooms open onto the sunroom and the courtyard, you can keep your eyes on yougsters and pets while you work at home, cook or entertain. Pride of ownership shows in every detail. In fact, the home is so updated it has: a recycling pump for continuous hot water; a generator for inclement weather; a HVAC system, hot water heater, and roof that are just a few years old; e-piping that protects all plumbing; spectacular window walls; double-crown molding; custom hardwood and contemporary tile floors throughout; granite counters in the kitchen and all en-suite bathrooms; bidets; custom blinds; and stained-glass windows. In short, this residence has been meticulously maintained and it's move-in-ready. The primary bedroom is extremely spacious, the second bedroom can also be used as a guest room and/or office, and the upstairs bedroom can easily be used as a generational living suite. The granite island, granite countertops and top-of-the-line appliances in the kitchen are especially stunning. This home is also maintenance free because the HOA takes care of everything outside of the home, including the roof, painting of the home's exterior, and year-round yard maintenance. In your free time, you can enjoy the community's clubhouse, fitness center, pool, tennis courts, and extensive walking and biking areas along Meadowbrook's tree-shaded streets. This home is less than a half hour drive from Alachua's high tech centers, North Florida Regional Hospital, the Univ. of Florida, Shands Health Centers, and the VA hospital.
