About this home
16603 NW 168TH TERRACE
Virtually Staged. Rock the afternoon away on the porch as the sun sets on Heritage Oaks and this gorgeous craftsman style home in beautiful Alachua, Florida. Perched on a gently sloping corner lot with a meticulously maintained front yard the leaded glass entry welcomes you into a stately arched foyer. You'll immediately appreciate the hand scraped engineered hardwood floors, high tray ceilings, and crown molding of the sprawling and open great room bathed in natural light from a group of large windows. The kitchen is a chef's delight with 42" solid wood cabinetry, stainless appliances, granite counters, and coordinating stone backsplash. You'll look forward to the end of every day in the spacious primary suite featuring a spa-like bathroom with dual vanities, an oversized walk in closet, large walk in shower, and a relaxing jetted garden tub. The split floorpan includes two more comfortable bedrooms and a full bathroom on the other side of the home, as well as a clever office nook. The screened lanai and paver patio create the perfect setting to enjoy the fully fenced back yard and central Florida weather all year long. Alachua is a friendly community with a charming downtown, many excellent dining and shopping options, and a booming business corridor all conveniently located with easy I-75 access to both Gainesville and Lake City. The natural beauty of world renowned springs is also nearby, as well as many other recreational opportunities, Shands, VA and North Florida Regional hospitals, Santa Fe College, and the University of Florida!

Value check
Is the price right?
The internet’s favorite home-value number comes from a single automated model that has never seen the street, the finishes, or the view — which is why it routinely misses by tens of thousands of dollars. The edgeAI estimate combines multiple independent data sources with our team’s on-the-ground expertise in this exact market.
