Under contract-accepting backup offers. Virtually Staged. One-of-a-kind student housing and premier investment opportunity! Ideally located directly across from the University of Florida campus and Shands Hospital, and just one block from Sorority Row, this iconic white brick home with its distinctive orange and blue shutters is one of the best-known student rental properties in the UF corridor. The home has 6 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and over 2,500 square feet of living space on approximately 1/4 of an acre. Zoned U-9 (University Urban Core) for residential, multifamily, and commercial uses, the property is also located within an Opportunity Zone, providing exceptional long-term investment and redevelopment potential. Designed with student living in mind, several of the oversized bedrooms are large enough to comfortably accommodate two students. A separate cottage-style 1-bedroom, 1-bath living area provides additional options for rental income, private living quarters, gym, or a home office. The home features real hardwood floors, an updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances, newer cabinetry, a newer HVAC system, and a distinctive spiral staircase that gives the home character rarely found in student housing. Outdoor amenities are equally impressive, including a welcoming covered front porch, a charming brick front patio, and a large rear wood deck overlooking a scenic creek, creating an ideal setting for entertaining or relaxing. A dedicated full-size laundry room adds convenience. The property also features on-site parking for at least 6 cars, plus abundant on-street parking, an exceptionally rare amenity in this prime campus location. Additionally, for buyers seeking an extraordinary investment opportunity, the adjacent property at 949 SW 13th St. is also available and may be purchased together as a package for a discounted price. The adjacent home has 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath and is currently leased, providing immediate rental income, and offers ample additional parking and a front lawn that can accommodate approximately 100 people for a party or event. Together, these two properties create one of the most recognizable gateway campus corner assemblages at the University of Florida. With outstanding visibility and frontage along SW 9th Road, unmatched proximity to UF, Shands Hospital, and Sorority Row, flexible zoning, current income stream, and future redevelopment possibilities, Whether you’re a parent looking to purchase premium housing for their UF student, members of the Greek community searching for an unrivaled off-campus location, a professional office, restaurant, a hospital employee who wants to walk to work or an investor seeking a trophy asset, this property delivers.
