Property Description

Welcome to a rare Gainesville opportunity with a story you almost never see — this custom-built brick home at 1410 NW 28th Street has had just one owner since it was built in 1967 and has never before been offered for sale. Set on approximately one-third of an acre with no HOA, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers timeless character, solid construction, and a location that is hard to beat. With approximately 1,920 heated and cooled square feet and around 2,500 total square feet, the home offers generous living space, including a separate breakfast room, spacious garage, and multiple living areas that give buyers flexibility for everyday living, entertaining, hobbies, or working from home. Inside, the home is filled with natural light and has been refreshed with brand-new upgraded carpet in the bedrooms and professionally installed luxury vinyl plank flooring in the front living room and dining room, along with fresh interior paint throughout, creating a clean and move-in-ready feel. These were not basic builder-grade selections, but quality materials chosen to give the home a more elevated feel. Major updates have already been tackled, including a brand-new 2026 roof with transferable warranty and a brand-new gas water heater. A recent four-point inspection is also available, giving buyers added confidence that the major systems have been reviewed and are in good working order. What makes this property especially compelling is the combination of location, lot size, and freedom. There is no HOA, and the home is located with impressive proximity to the University of Florida — close enough to enjoy the energy of game days and even hear activity from Florida Field. With short-term rentals allowed, buyers may also appreciate the flexibility this property offers, whether for primary living, a second home, or an investment-minded purchase. The home still offers room for a new owner to make it their own. The kitchen and bathrooms are functional and well-kept, with a charming retro feel that some buyers may love as-is while others may choose to update over time. The property also features a notably steep driveway, which buyers should be aware of. That said, this is a solid, substantial, move-in-ready home, and it has been priced accordingly with the understanding that a future owner may want to make additional tasteful finish updates over time. In exchange, buyers will find a well-built, well-maintained home with character, space, and a setting that is becoming harder to find. This is not a cookie-cutter house. It is a home with history, substance, and potential — refreshed where it counts, honest about where a buyer may want to personalize, and full of opportunity in one of Gainesville’s most convenient locations.
