Description

Your private island-inspired retreat in the heart of west Gainesville’s highly coveted Town of Tioga awaits. Positioned on a quiet horseshoe cul-de-sac with no through traffic, this nearly 4,000 square foot custom pool property blends timeless coastal architecture with an effortless sense of comfort, creating a place that feels refined and relaxing from the moment you arrive. Inside, natural light pours through expansive windows and sliding glass doors, casting a warm glow across the open living spaces. Ten foot ceilings, vaulted wood-beamed details, and neutral luxury vinyl plank flooring enhance the airy coastal feel while maintaining an elevated sense of style. At the heart of the home, the chef’s kitchen brings everyone together. Premium appliances, an oversized breakfast bar, walk-in pantry, and built-in ice maker make entertaining seamless, while the open flow into the dining and living areas allows gatherings to unfold naturally. Large sliders in the living room and kitchen extend the space outdoors, embracing the Florida lifestyle year round. A dedicated pool bath adds convenience for guests. Tucked privately on the main floor, the primary suite feels like a luxury resort escape. Wake up to views of the pool, enjoy morning coffee from the in-room coffee bar, and unwind in the spa-inspired bath featuring a soaking tub, dual vanities, separate water closet, and oversized walk-in closet with a dedicated laundry area. Vaulted wood-beamed ceilings and direct access to the pool courtyard elevate the sense of serenity. Upstairs offers flexibility for modern living. A spacious bonus room currently functions as a home gym and includes a plumbed closet for future guest or multigenerational living. Adjacent, a secondary lounge with wet bar and refrigerator creates the perfect setting for movie nights or relaxed evenings with friends. The expansive family room easily accommodates seating and recreation space for a billiards or card table. Three additional bedrooms complete the upper level, including one with an ensuite bath and dual walk-in closets, along with a hall bath and second laundry area. Outside, the atmosphere feels more like a private getaway than a traditional backyard. The Key West style dipping pool anchors a secluded courtyard framed by paver patios and lush landscaping, creating an intimate setting for quiet mornings, sunset cocktails, or weekends spent entertaining. Built with enduring quality in mind, the property features a concrete block first floor and durable metal roof. Recent updates to the pool and irrigation system further enhance the move-in ready appeal. Unlike building new construction, this property offers the rare opportunity to enjoy a fully completed custom residence without the lengthy timelines and unexpected costs associated with the process. Located just two minutes from Tioga Town Center, residents enjoy immediate access to restaurants, boutiques, entertainment, fitness studios, healthcare services, and everyday conveniences including Publix, Aldi, and Starbucks. Community amenities include scenic walking trails, a resort style pool and hot tub, tennis courts, basketball courts, sand volleyball, playgrounds, and a community garden. This is a rare opportunity to own a nearly new, move-in ready luxury property in Town of Tioga, where custom coastal design, everyday comfort, and exceptional entertaining spaces create a lifestyle that feels like a permanent vacation.
