Tucked inside Haile Plantation, this updated 3-bedroom, 3-bath home with an office blends flexibility and style. With just over 2,300 square feet of living space, it also includes a detached guest suite with its own bathroom and closet, great for visitors, a private workspace, or a creative studio.

The remodeled kitchen offers new cabinetry, sleek countertops, stainless appliances, and a gas range, ideal for cooking or entertaining. The main living and dining areas open to the screened-in pool and patio, creating the indoor–outdoor flow everyone wants in Florida. A new air conditioner installed just a few months ago adds comfort and peace of mind.

You don’t even have to leave Haile Plantation to enjoy a round. Neighborhood playgrounds, trails, and the shops and restaurants of Haile Village are all minutes away, and you're only about 10 miles from UF, Shands, and the VA Hospital.

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.

The edgeAI estimate is a starting point, not an appraisal or a broker price opinion. It is generated from public records, listing data and market modeling, and is subject to change once a licensed real estate professional personally inspects the property.
