CROSS CREEK Nestled in the unspoiled heart of Florida, this beautiful 2 bedroom, 1 & 1/2 bath manufactured home nicknamed The Sandhill has been completely remodeled by meticulous craftsmen with an artistic eye for design and beauty. Upgrades throughout the home include luxury vinyl floors, new carpet and fresh paint. Additionally, a brand new economical mini split AC system, newly installed electrical panel and upgraded outlets ensure comfort, safety and economy. The kitchen features new, whitewashed butcher block countertops, and new stainless steel sink, stove and refrigerator. Custom ceramic tiles by designer Angela Harris Dunmore add a custom tropical flavor to the kitchen walls. A raised Spanish tile is carried into both bathrooms to complement new vanities, lavatories and even a soaker tub. Located on a third of an acre lot (double lot) in a small and friendly community, the home boasts two enclosed screened porches, plenty of space to grow a vegetable or flower garden, and two carports for vehicles or boats. An added bonus: It is located on a paved street and is on city water and sewer, which many such rural properties in Cross Creek are not. Whether you're searching for a primary residence, a weekend retreat, or an investment opportunity, this home can fill the bill. Like the magnificent sandhill cranes it is named after, this home is a part of Cross Creek. And you will have the best of two worlds: the peace and quiet of country living less than five minutes from some of the best fishing in Florida on Orange Lake (500 acres) and Lochloosa Lake (5, 700 acres) but less than 30 minutes away from bustling Gainesville with the University of Florida and its world class medical facility UF Health. Renowned author Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings immortalized Cross Creek in her books. Her residence, now a state park, is less than 3 minutes away, as is the legendary Cracker cuisine restaurant The Yearling, named for her most famous novel and a favorite with locals as well as visitors. She fell in love with Cross Creek. Perhaps you will too. Call today for an exclusive look at this unique and affordable treasure in one of Floridas loveliest regions.
