PRICED TO MOVE, this Melrose waterfront retreat is one of the best values on the market. Set on a private canal just off Lake Santa Fe, this 3-bed, 2-bath home with a large bonus room delivers rare amenities at this price point—an oversized screened pool, a private dock with boat lift, and a 3-car climate-controlled garage ideal for storage, hobbies, or a home workshop. Inside, the bright open layout flows to a spacious kitchen and a generous living area perfect for entertaining. The split floor plan offers a private primary suite, while the bonus room adds endless flexibility for guests, office, or recreation. With direct, easy access to one of Florida's premier lakes, well-maintained systems, and a lifestyle that's hard to duplicate at this price, this is a property worth a second look. Opportunities like this don't last. Lake Santa Fe offers world-class boating, skiing, and fishing, plus stunning sunset cruises. Melrose provides a relaxed small-town feel with cafés, galleries, and quick commutes to Gainesville, Keystone Heights, and Palatka.
