The kitchen includes updated cabinetry, granite countertops, a subway tile backsplash and stainless steel appliances. The fenced yard located off of the kitchen has a covered porch and plenty of room for gardening or a pool, if that is your wish. The second story houses three of the four bedrooms and two bathrooms. The primary bedroom includes two good-sized closets and an updated bathroom from 2023 with custom cabinetry, a double vanity, tiled shower and solid surface countertops. The hall bathroom was updated in 2019 with a tile surround and vanity. The exterior was completely repainted in 2022 with meticulous attention to details like the restoration of every screen with a three-color palate. The large, double lot is stunning with a variety of native plantings, palms, fruit trees, a rose and herb garden, flowering camellias, azaleas and an irrigation system. Only steps away from the Thomas Center, you have access to the well-loved public gardens that host yoga and meditation workshops under gracious live oak trees. The south-facing entry is screened and includes a porch swing. The east side of the home includes an owners’ entry through a private courtyard and a spacious two-car garage with plenty of space for two vehicles, storage and a workspace for projects. All of the major projects are complete including two new HVAC units in 2022, new roof in 2021, fully updated plumbing in 2023, updated electrical and interior painting in 2024. Walking distance to art galleries, farmers’ markets, restaurants and all that downtown Gainesville has to offer and only a short bike ride to the University of Florida. Rare opportunity to purchase a completely restored and move-in ready historic home. Welcome to paradise!
