What to check on this one
- Verify roof age and condition; 1965 build may need inspection or replacement soon.
- Get 4-point inspection (roof, plumbing, electrical, HVAC) required by most insurers for pre-1978 homes.
- Confirm flood zone designation with Alachua County; verify elevation certificate if in AE/VE zone.
- Check plumbing material (polybutylene or cast-iron lines common in 1965 homes; may need replacement).
- Inspect HVAC system age and remaining lifespan; cooling is critical in Florida.
- Verify 2022 remodel permits pulled and inspections passed with county.
Flagged from the listing itself — not an inspection, and no substitute for one. Bring these to the showing.
