About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Nestled amid majestic oaks on a generous 2.75 acre parcel of land in Gainesville, this Florida home welcomes you to unwind and savor moments of quiet reflection. Two-story columns on the front porch evoke a sense of grandeur, complemented by a brick façade and the warmth of wood siding. Stepping through the threshold you are greeted by a spiral staircase that ascends to a second-story loft, creating an enchanting focal point that invites exploration, leading to a versatile space ideal for relaxation or creative endeavors. On each side of the loft is attic storage. Five bedrooms and two bathrooms, ample space for comfortable living. The roof and plumbing of the home were updated in 2015. Property has a working well with water softener, filtration system, and UV light purification. Includes refrigerator, range, dishwasher, and washer/dryer. French doors from the dinning room open to a side deck for morning coffee, alfresco dining or gatherings under the stars. There is a spacious shed, ideal for housing outdoor equipment, building materials or pursuing hobbies. Nature enthusiasts will delight in the property's proximity to the Hawthorne Alachua trail and nature parks. Offering accessible opportunities for outdoor recreation, wildlife observation and leisurely strolls amidst nature's splendor. Situated just 9 miles from the vibrant heart of downtown Gainesville and a mere 8 miles from the town of Micanopy, this residence offers a perfect blend of tranquility, accessibility, and vintage charm.
