Located on the southeast side of the lake, you not only have THE BEST SUNSET VIEWS but also convenience to Melrose's famous restaurants like Blue Water Bay and Fryer's as well as the 1935 charming gas station/convenience store Chiappini's (featuring live music on the weekends!). The home is located less than 30 minutes to Gainesville, 5 minutes from downtown Keystone restaurants/shops, and just within Bradford county for much lower taxes than the Alachua county side! For those with water toys, there are two public boat ramps and one private boat ramp in the neighborhood or just leave your boat on the home's lift for immediate enjoyment. Lake Santa Fe offers 5,850 acres of water fed by the Floridan Aquifer, offering ample room for boaters, water skiing, tubing and more. The home offers a great layout with two bedrooms on the main level and a SECOND owner's suite upstairs with second large private bathroom and views of the lake. An updated kitchen boasts granite counters and stainless steel appliances with an eat in kitchen and bar top seating. The spacious living room has a stone fireplace and flows nicely to the glass sunroom. The home has a boat lift, new stringers and new walkway boards on the dock, new roof, new water heater and tons of parking/storage.
