Meticulously updated and beautifully maintained from top to bottom, this exceptional 5-bedroom, 3-bath POOL home is nestled in the highly sought-after Raintree neighborhood. Thoughtfully designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the split-bedroom floor plan offers flexibility, privacy, and an abundance of space. At the heart of the home is a stunning, updated kitchen featuring a massive island, gas range, and a newly added wine/coffee bar, creating the perfect gathering space for family and friends. The spacious living area is anchored by a charming brick wood-burning fireplace, while two sets of sliding doors seamlessly connect the interior to the covered pool and patio area. The third bathroom conveniently opens directly to the pool, making outdoor entertaining effortless. The generous primary suite provides a peaceful retreat and includes an adjoining room that can easily serve as a home office, nursery, sitting room, or private flex space. Throughout the home, custom blackout window treatments add both style and functionality. The outdoor living spaces are just as impressive. Enjoy the sparkling pool surrounded by a travertine pool deck and removable child-safety fence, along with new landscaping, irrigation, and a brand-new wood perimeter fence with a dedicated turf dog run. Fresh exterior and interior paint give the home a crisp, polished feel, while thoughtful additions throughout include new storage cabinetry in the laundry room, a brand-new garage door opener, and a reverse osmosis water filtration system. Energy efficiency and peace of mind have also been thoughtfully considered. Solar panels help keep GRU utility costs low, and approximately $15,000 in electrical and gas work has already been completed in preparation for a whole-house generator. While the seller will be taking the generator itself, the substantial installation labor and infrastructure are already in place-allowing the future owner to add a generator with significantly less expense and hassle. Beyond the home itself, Raintree offers a wonderful sense of community. Optional HOA funds help support neighborhood traditions and events throughout the year, including a Halloween party with costume contest, hayride and trick-or-treating, holiday caroling followed by a potluck celebration, a spring Easter egg hunt, and a Fourth of July gathering. Beautifully updated, exceptionally well maintained, and filled with thoughtful improvements inside and out, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy a move-in-ready pool home in one of Gainesville's most desirable neighborhoods.
