21395 NW 39TH COURT One or more photos were virtually staged (fire shown in fireplace). Set along a deep-water canal leading to Orange Lake, this 3-bed, 2-bath home on 1/2-acre presents a rare chance to breathe new life into a waterfront property filled with possibility. Framed by mature trees and the gentle cadence of life near the lake, the setting reveals views of shimmering water and the kind of backdrop where mornings begin with birdsong and evenings settle beneath a soft Florida breeze. Fresh interior paint provides a welcome head start, while the spacious 1, 849 sq ft layout creates an ideal canvas for thoughtful updates and personal vision. Step through the front door into a light-filled floor plan where vaulted ceilings lend an airy sense of openness. Just off the entry, a dedicated office creates flexible space for remote work, creative pursuits, or a peaceful reading nook. The main living room is anchored by a gas fireplace and opens through double sliding glass doors to a screened-in porch, immersing you in breathtaking vistas and the sounds of nature drifting in from the backyard and canal beyond. Positioned to the right of the entry, the kitchen includes a breakfast bar, walk-in pantry, and adjoining dining area awaiting a fresh new chapter for future gatherings and meals shared after long days on the lake. Nearby, the laundry room connects conveniently to the attached 2-car garage. Privately tucked away off the living room, the primary suite opens to the tranquil canal through double glass doors and includes a generous walk-in closet. The ensuite bath boasts double vanities, a soaking tub, and a spacious walk-in shower. On the opposite side of the home, 2 additional bedrooms share a full bath with a walk-in shower and direct exterior access—ideal for cleaning up after boating or afternoons spent outdoors. Outside, the property’s most compelling feature comes into focus. A gentle stroll leads to the covered boathouse, complete with a boat lift and expansive dock stretching toward calm canal waters, inviting early-morning wildlife viewing and sunset cruises across Orange Lake. A 6x10 utility shed adds valuable storage for tools and outdoor essentials. Nestled within the Orange Lake Shores community near quaint Micanopy and just a short drive from the vibrant energy of Gainesville, this home invites a buyer with imagination to restore its charm and shape it into something truly memorable.
