Property Description
Virtually Staged. A Landmark Opportunity at the Gateway to the University of Florida. Rarely does a property become available that offers the perfect combination of incredible location, visibilty, flexibility, long-term investment potential, and a current income stream. This recently renovated 4-bedroom, 2½-bath residence sits on an expansive 0.37-acre corner parcel, and is perfectly positioned on the iconic corner of SW 13th Street and Archer Road. Located directly across the street from the UF campus, Shands Hospital, and adjacent to Sorority Row, the location is beyond prime. For buyers seeking an extraordinary investment opportunity, the adjacent property at 1254 SW 9th Road is also available. Together, these two highly visible corner properties can be acquired as a package creating one of the most recognizable gateway assemblages at UF. With immediate rental income, unmatched visibility, and tremendous redevelopment potential, this is a generational investment opportunity that is unlikely to be duplicated. Whether you're a parent looking to purchase premium housing for their UF student, members of the Greek community searching for an unrivaled off-campus location, a professional office, restaurant, a hospital employee who wants to walk to work or an investor seeking a trophy asset, this property delivers. A striking architectural staircase serves as a unique focal point, adding charm and character. Several of the oversized bedrooms are spacious enough to comfortably accommodate two students. The expansive front lawn creates an incredible entertaining space and can comfortably host events, tailgates, etc. of approximately 100 guests. Inside, you'll find an extensively updated residence featuring a modern kitchen with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry, and beautiful real hardwood floors that were just completely refinished and look incredible! There is also a spacious private deck overlooking a peaceful wooded backdrop. Major improvements include a new roof (2021), complete re-pipe (2021), fresh interior and exterior paint, new lighting, new landscaping, and a brand-new HVAC system (2026), providing peace of mind for years to come. Moreover, parking for at least 6 cars - an extraordinary feature in this highly sought-after University district where on property parking is rare. There is also ample on street parking too. The property is zoned with the coveted U-9, allowing for residential, multifamily, and commercial uses, and enjoys over 138 feet of frontage on SW 13th Street (US 441) with exposure to more than 20,000 vehicles per day.
