Opportunity knocks in one of Gainesville's most desirable quadrants. This 1,008 sq ft, 2-bedroom, 1-bath home sits on SE 15th Street -- less than 1.5 miles from the University of Florida campus and steps from the city's most walkable corridor. The home is solid where it counts: a 5-year-old roof is already in place, giving your renovation a strong foundation to build from. The rest of the home needs work, and the price reflects it. Bring your contractor and your vision -- the bones are there. The location is the story. Half a mile from Depot Park, a beloved 32-acre green space featuring waterfront trails, a splash pad, picnic pavilions, and direct trailhead access to the Gainesville-Hawthorne State Trail -- 16 miles of paved trail winding through state parks and conservation land. Cyclists and trail runners live for this access. Steps away, South Main Station and Heartwood Soundstage anchor a buzzing local dining and entertainment scene: wood-fired pizza, craft beer, live music, and independent bookshops -- all walkable from the front door. With UF enrollment consistently above 60,000 students and staff, the rental demand in this zip code runs year-round. Whether you flip it or hold it as a long-term rental, the fundamentals are hard to ignore: proximity to campus, trail access, a revitalized neighborhood core, and a roof that's already done. Cash offers only. Sold as-is. Inspections to be done prior to offer.
