Nestled behind the gates of Millhopper Forest, one of Gainesville's most picturesque neighborhoods known for its tree-lined streets, sidewalks, and timeless appeal, this exceptional residence is located within The Cottages, an exclusive enclave of luxury garden homes designed for elegant, low-maintenance living. Residents enjoy comprehensive exterior maintenance including front and rear lawn care, irrigation service, gutter cleaning, and power washing of driveways and sidewalks, allowing more time to enjoy the lifestyle this remarkable community offers. A former Parade Home, this stunning Southern Living-inspired residence immediately captivates with its inviting front porch with brick paver accents, beautiful Florida fieldstone detailing, and outstanding curb appeal. Built in 2007 with exceptional craftsmanship and architectural character throughout, the home offers approximately 3300 square feet of heated and cooled living space in a thoughtfully designed three-way split floor plan. Inside, wide-plank wood flooring flows throughout the main living areas, including the formal dining room, study, great room, and family room. An integrated sound system enhances both the interior living spaces and outdoor lanai, creating the perfect atmosphere for entertaining. The welcoming foyer is flanked by a handsome study featuring custom wainscoting, extensive built-in cabinetry, and a built-in desk, while the large formal dining room provides an elegant setting for gatherings. The spacious great room serves as the heart of the home with a classic gas fireplace, custom wood mantel, extensive built-ins, and french doors opening to the lanai and pool. The beautifully updated gourmet kitchen is designed to impress, featuring custom 42-inch white cabinetry, granite countertops, subway tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances including a gas cooktop, and a generous breakfast area. Just beyond, a stunning family and media room addition completed in 2016 offers an entire wall of custom built-ins with integrated television space, abundant natural light, wood flooring, and panoramic views of the pool and outdoor living areas. The private owner's retreat is a luxurious sanctuary with direct access to the lanai and pool, dual oversized walk-in closets, and a spa-inspired bath featuring granite-topped vanities, a jetted soaking tub, separate shower, and private water closet. Two guest bedrooms share a well-appointed bath in their own private wing, while the fourth bedroom is positioned upstairs as a versatile bonus suite complete with a full bath—ideal as a guest retreat, game room, home theater, fitness room, or flex space tailored to your needs. Outdoor living is equally impressive. The expansive covered lanai overlooks a beautifully resurfaced freeform saltwater pool with raised planter accents and a private fenced backyard. Recent improvements provide peace of mind and exceptional value, including a new roof (2023), 22-kW whole-house generator, new pool screen enclosure (2026), resurfaced pool (2026),pool pump (2023), and new gas water heater (2026). A spacious indoor laundry room complete with washer and dryer and a two-car garage complete this meticulously maintained residence. Combining timeless architecture, luxury finishes, extensive updates, and the ease of maintenance-free living, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy one of Gainesville's most desirable gated communities.
