Property Description
Experience breathtaking sunsets and panoramic lake views from this clean and bright 2BR/2BA condo on the shores of Bivens Lake — just 1.5 miles south of UF, Shands Hospital, and the VA Medical Center, and only one block from a bus route. This home is beautiful and move-in ready with newer luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout. The kitchen features custom KraftMaid Cabinetry, Corian countertops, generous counter space, and abundant storage. The open concept layout flows seamlessly from kitchen to dining and living areas, all leading to the show-stopping sunroom. The 280+-square-foot tile sunroom, with floor-to-ceiling sliders, expands the living space and frames spectacular west-facing lake views and unforgettable sunsets. Step directly outside for lakeside access — perfect for canoeing or kayaking — or enjoy the community pool and pavilion with gas grill, tables, and seating. The primary suite overlooks the lake and includes a spacious walk-in closet with built-in cubby storage and a beautifully finished en-suite bath featuring a natural stone walk-in shower with built-in seat. The second bedroom offers a large closet, and the adjacent hall bath includes a tub. A convenient washer/dryer alcove is centrally located. Three ceiling fans and front and rear screen doors allow for wonderful cross-breezes year-round. Two interior bike hooks provide protected storage. Additional upgrades include a newer Trane HVAC system (11/2024) with programmable touchscreen smart thermostat and fresh interior paint.The monthly HOA fee covers water, sewer, trash, recycling, pest control, exterior insurance, roof, building maintenance, grounds, pool area, stairwells, and parking lot — offering low-maintenance living with peace of mind. Nestled in Bivens South just north of Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park, this community offers a truly unique setting where daily life includes sightings of alligators, Great Blue Herons, hawks, Sandhill Cranes, and even White Pelicans. It's rare to find waterfront living with this level of convenience in Gainesville. This is a rare opportunity to own true lakeside living in Gainesville with unmatched natural beauty and everyday convenience.
