What's the number one rule of real estate? Location, location and this property fits the bill perfectly. This modern contemporary pool home is located in University Acres, a community of 1+ acre lots on quiet streets with mature landscaping, no HOA, and conveniently located just minutes from UF, shopping, I-75 and all that Gainesville has to offer. Custom built by Parrish Construction by the current owner, this home sits on a 1 acre homesite that backs to a private conservation area; the distinctive exterior architecture defines this home and features Ocala block details with CBS block construction. A stunning lot with mature trees and beautiful garden areas creates a background that is hard to duplicate.
