A rare Gainesville retreat that feels like a mountain treehouse! Nestled on 1.38 private wooded acres in the highly desirable Maple Hill neighborhood, this one-of-a-kind contemporary home is tucked away along one of Gainesville's most scenic winding, hilly streets-yet is located just 2.5 miles from Ben Hill Griffin Stadium and the University of Florida. Designed to bring the outdoors in, the home features soaring vaulted ceilings with exposed wood beams, walls of glass, and breathtaking views of the surrounding woods from nearly every room. The remodeled kitchen is beautifully appointed with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and modern finishes while maintaining the home's distinctive architectural style. The main level offers two bedrooms, including the primary suite, plus spacious living and dining areas that open to a large covered deck overlooking a crystal-clear creek below. The walkout lower level includes an additional bedroom and full bathroom, along with a second oversized family room-perfect for guests, a home office, or multi-generational living. Outdoor living is just as impressive with expansive covered decks on both levels, creating peaceful spaces to relax, entertain, or simply enjoy the sights and sounds of nature. Additional features include a 2-car garage, generous storage room, and immediate availability for a one-year lease. If you've been searching for something truly special, this home offers the serenity of a mountain retreat with the convenience of being just minutes from UF, shopping, restaurants, and everything Gainesville has to offer. Available now for immediate occupancy. Owner is a licensed Florida Realtor.
