Under contract-accepting backup offers. Step into timeless character with modern comfort in this beautifully renovated 1948 concrete block home near Gainesville’s beloved historic Duckpond district. Offering 1,725 heated/cooled square feet plus a 228-square-foot Florida room (ready for conversion to conditioned living space), this property blends classic architecture with thoughtful 2024 updates throughout.
A metal roof crowns the home, while the interior has been fully refreshed with all-new Plantation Shutters and blinds, newly painted inside and out, re-piped plumbing, a new HVAC system, and a gas tankless water heater. New light fixtures, plumbing fixtures, customized and upgraded closet shelving, modernized bathrooms, and so much more. The re-roofed porch welcomes you into bright, open living spaces featuring beautiful quartz countertops, a spacious kitchen island, stainless steel appliances including a French-door refrigerator, quality dishwasher, and gas range, with a stone farm sink and a charming butler’s pantry that adds both style and functionality.
The updated bathrooms, new fixtures, and tasteful finishes create a cohesive sense of comfort and quality. Outside, the front yard has been regraded and freshly sodded with lush Zoysia grass, offering an inviting curb appeal. The opened-up landscape provides a fresh canvas for the new homeowner to bring their creative vision to life—whether designing a tranquil garden, modern patio, or outdoor entertaining space. An electric vehicle charger at the covered carport adds convenience for today’s lifestyle.
Perfectly positioned near downtown Gainesville, the University of Florida, and UF Health/Shands, this home offers easy access to parks, the Duckpond walking district, local coffee shops, the farmers market, the Hippodrome Theatre, and Gainesville’s vibrant dining and shopping scene.
