About this home
3916 SW 98TH DRIVE
Virtually Staged. Original Frank Sapienza Parade of Homes on a Double sized corner Lot in Haile Plantation's Bueller's Way This custom-designed residence was proudly featured in the Gainesville Parade of Homes and is offered for sale by its original owner. Situated on a double corner lot totaling approximately 0.44 of an acre, this spacious home offers 4 bedrooms, a dedicated office, and 3 full bathrooms, providing an exceptional combination of comfort, functionality, and privacy in one of Gainesville's most desirable communities. Owned by the original owner since it was built, this home has never been a rental property. Designed with both everyday living and entertaining in mind, the thoughtfully planned three way split-bedroom floor plan offers generous living spaces filled with high ceilings and natural light. The kitchen is equipped with quality solid wood cabinetry and durable Corian countertops. The spacious family room opens to an oversized screened lanai overlooking a very large back yard, creating the perfect setting for outdoor dining, family gatherings, or simply relaxing while enjoying Florida's beautiful weather. A skylight in one of the bathrooms brings in natural light, adding warmth and character. The home's exceptional setting further enhances its appeal. A beautifully maintained common green space stretches across the front of the home, providing peaceful views and a park-like atmosphere. Just a short walk away is the Hampstead neighborhood playground, making this an ideal location for families. The side-entry two-car garage enhances both curb appeal and privacy, while the home's position on the oversized lot provides additional outdoor space and separation from neighboring properties. Recent improvements include fresh interior paint and new luxury vinyl flooring. Roof was replaced with high quality architectural shingles in 2012. Upgraded energy efficiency - double paned windows throughout to keep utility bills low and keep a quiet interior environment. Integrated security infrastructure - equipped with a fully wired dedicated alarm system. Located within one of Gainesville's most desirable school zones, the home is zoned for Chiles Elementary School, Kanapaha Middle School, and Buchholz High School. Residents of Haile Plantation enjoy miles of scenic walking and biking trails, mature tree-lined streets, golf, parks, shopping, dining, and a true sense of community, all just minutes from the University of Florida, UF Health, North Florida Regional Medical Center, and I-75.

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.
