Imagine living in an established affordable neighborhood with all the best amenities like clubhouse, pool, playground, tennis courts, jogging trails, and so much more!
You know you’ll be busy and don’t want headaches so you want a home that doesn’t require much maintenance. With a new roof and Hardi (concrete board) siding exterior maintenance is a breeze.
Have to get to and from work quickly? This home is just a quick drive to Archer Road and the Shands/UF/VA corridor in Gainesville.
You’ll love coming home to the vaulted ceilings and open floor plan. The details on the trim work like crown molding and chair rail add a touch of elegance. Wood floors in the main living area and new carpet in the bedrooms are welcoming.
French doors open into the office/den from the main living area, so you have a quiet space to work at home.
Open kitchen has lots of storage and a brand new fridge and microwave just for you.
Master bedroom is on the opposite side of the home from the two extra bedrooms and hall bath, giving you a little extra privacy. The tray ceiling and walk in closet are details you won’t get everywhere.
Master bathroom was renovated in 2017 with a spa-like shower you will want to relax in.
The fenced back yard is an oasis you can enjoy from your screened porch or by stringing up a hammock or setting up a fire pit while you star gaze.
The two car garage and laundry room round out the features on this home, adding and out of the way space for storing your odds and ends, hobbies, crafts, and general necessities.

Neighborhood Details
Residents of Mentone enjoy a modern and established neighborhood with easy access to work, shopping, and play.
Many residents work at Shands, the VA, or UF (or attend a graduate program there), and appreciate the short commute.
Being 10 minutes from the Archer Road shopping district and 20 min from UF during rush hour is a huge win.
Southwest Gainesville is an ideal location if you work long hours at Shands, UF, or the VA and need a beautiful quiet place to live. Mentone has been around long enough for the trees and landscaping to mature, so the homes are nestled in natural Gainesville Flora and Fauna, just what many locals prefer.
There is a nice club house / pool area, sidewalks, and green spaces in the neighborhood. Nearby there are great restaurants , retail shopping, and grocery stores.
HOA Features
Dues are $600 per year, paid quarterly.
The winding streets help keep the traffic speeds safe, and the jogging trails, clubhouse pool, and playground provide a lot of activities without leaving Mentone.
Dues cover common area maintenance, such as entry signs, fences, pools and trails.
