949 SW 13TH STREET

A Landmark Opportunity at the Gateway to the University of Florida. Rarely does a property become available that offers the perfect combination of incredible location, visibilty, flexibility, long-term investment potential, and a current income stream. This recently renovated 4-bedroom, 2½-bath residence sits on an expansive 0.37-acre corner parcel, and is perfectly positioned on the iconic corner of SW 13th Street and Archer Road. Located directly across the street from the UF campus, Shands Hospital, and adjacent to Sorority Row, the location is beyond prime. For buyers seeking an extraordinary investment opportunity, the adjacent property at 1254 SW 9th Road is also available. Together, these two highly visible corner properties can be acquired as a package creating one of the most recognizable gateway assemblages at UF. With immediate rental income, unmatched visibility, and tremendous redevelopment potential, this is a generational investment opportunity that is unlikely to be duplicated.

A striking architectural staircase serves as a unique focal point, adding charm and character. Several of the oversized bedrooms are spacious enough to comfortably accommodate two students. The expansive front lawn creates an incredible entertaining space and can comfortably host events, tailgates, etc. of approximately 100 guests. Inside, the owner has done extensive work throughout, along with FULLY FURNISHING the entire property for a turn key AirBnb if you would like. You’ll find an extensively updated residence featuring a modern kitchen with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry, and beautiful real hardwood floors that were just completely refinished and look incredible!
