Brand new was installed in Nov 2023! Welcome home to Forest Ridge, located just 2 miles north of UF. Meticulously maintained, this concrete block and brick POOL home boasts 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a 2-car garage and sits on a beautiful DOUBLE LOT in the back of the neighborhood. Interior features include a formal living room, formal dining room, and a large kitchen that opens to the great room with a wood-burning fireplace. French doors off the great room and off the primary bedroom lead you to a huge, light & bright sunroom where you will enjoy views of your enormous lap pool and your second lot, which provides the perfect place for a garden and gives the feeling of peace and tranquility. The lushly landscaped yard features citrus trees, a fig tree, an olive tree and several blueberry bushes. One of the newest improvements to the property are the 12 KW of solar panels to keep those utility bills low! Other improvements include a water softener system, updated windows, re-piped supply lines, and a newer oven and cooktop. There is a large laundry/utility/storage room off of the garage that is not included in the heated/cooled square footage. Across the street there is a small neighborhood park and a nature trail that leads to the gorgeous Alfred Ring Park where you will marvel at the beautiful views of the Hogtown Creek.
