Beautifully maintained home in Gainesville

The house is beautiful outside and inside, very clean and beautiful Feng Shui colors and decor inside, roomy bedrooms with very convenient 1 full bathroom and 1/2 bathroom. Location is great, close to shopping, restaurants and downtown, minutes away. We got a loaded kitchen with nothing missing, with new appliances.
