Welcome to this lovingly maintained, one-owner home in the highly sought-after Turkey Creek Forest, a gated 55+ community in Northwest Gainesville. Proudly owned and occupied by the original owner since it was built, this well-cared-for residence reflects years of attentive maintenance and pride of ownership.

Additional conveniences include a covered carport and an attached storage/utility room/laundry room, offering plenty of space for tools, and extra storage. Residents of Turkey Creek Forest enjoy an active lifestyle with exceptional amenities including a clubhouse, swimming pool, tennis courts, shuffleboard courts, and a variety of social activities and events. The community also provides nightly security patrols, typically from 9 PM to 4 AM, for added peace of mind. Conveniently located near shopping, dining, healthcare facilities, and major roadways, this home offers the ideal combination of comfort and convenience.
