Welcome to this delightful Suncrest cottage in the popular Stephen Foster neighborhood, where charm, comfort, and convenience come together beautifully. With attractive curb appeal and a spacious interior, this home is sure to delight! One of the most inviting features is the fully enclosed front porch, now a sun-filled bonus room with expansive windows that go from ceiling to floor. Whether you envision a cheerful plant room, cozy reading retreat, or welcoming sitting area, this flexible space is sure to become a favorite. From there, a charming glass door keeps light moving through the home and leads into a spacious living room highlighted by a beautiful brick fireplace with natural gas, giving the home warmth and character. The warm wood flooring extends through much of the home, while tile in the kitchen and baths adds practicality. The primary bedroom is spacious and features an ensuite private bath with tub/shower combo. The second bedroom is spacious as well and has a hall/guest bath just outside the bedroom door and off the hallway so it is convenient for guests. The kitchen opens to the main living and dining areas through a pass-through, making the layout feel open and connected. It is equipped with a gas stove, Bosch dishwasher, refrigerator, double sink, and disposal. Keep going back to enter another large bonus room that can act as an office, another sun room, or just provide extra storage and pantry possibilities. The washer and dryer are conveniently tucked into the closet in this room as well. Step outside to a backyard designed for enjoying the Florida lifestyle, complete with privacy fencing, space for gardening, a paver patio with built-in fire pit, and an included storage shed. There is also a 2 car garage that would be great for storage, or even as a studio or hobby room as the opening was fitted with double doors by a previous owner. If you wanted to you could certainly have a garage door reinstalled to be able to park 2 vehicles inside. All just minutes from University of Florida, a quick commute to UF Health, The VA and the Vet School, downtown Gainesville and lots of nature parks. There is plenty of dining, shopping, and more. Just 4 minutes drive to one Publix, Aldi or Wards Grocery Store and 6 minutes to another Publix. So convenient! Don't miss this adorable cottage. Call today to schedule your tour!
