Description of Property

Under contract-accepting backup offers. Nestled in the heart of the Duckpond, the sought-after historic district, this beautifully updated 1949 all brick home painted in soft gray blends timeless charm with modern comfort. From the moment you step inside, you’ll be greeted by gleaming original hardwood floors, rich in character and warmth, that flow seamlessly throughout the home. Thoughtfully renovated to preserve its classic appeal while adding contemporary upgrades, this 2-bedroom, 2-bath home offers inviting living spaces, a stylish newer kitchen, and updated baths—all wrapped in a picture-perfect exterior that reflects the home's enduring craftsmanship. From the front sidewalk, approach the home from the all-brick walkway flanked with lovely plantings and palms on either side and up to the classic front porch, setting the tone for what awaits. Entering the large living room featuring gas fireplace, built-ins, and wood floors, the space is large enough for two seating areas. Moving to the side of the house is a light filled Florida Room with windows on three sides, all with new Hunter Douglas energy star and sun insulating blinds - a perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee. The dining room bridges the Florida Room with the kitchen and features built-ins, wood floors, and views of the back yard. The renovated kitchen features an abundance of newer wood cabinets, leathered granite counters with subway tile backsplash, under-counter lighting, stainless appliances including a 5-burner commercial style gas range, and a stainless farmer’s sink keeping with the vintage look. A convenient breakfast bar for a morning meal or lunch, spacious pull-out pantry, and utility closet with stack washer/dryer complete the kitchen area. The owner’s suite is an over-sized space with large windows for an abundance of natural light and has two closets, an updated bath with large glass enclosed shower, and vintage tile floors, adding to the character of the home. The guest suite, which is large enough to double as a study, is also gracious in size and features an updated en-suite tub bath with new quartz topped vanity and vintage floors. French doors from the kitchen open to a large romantic brick courtyard featuring beautiful flowering gardens and a re-circulating fountain, adding to the tranquility of the area. The yard is fully fenced and features a delightful wooden arbor with gate for those entering the courtyard through the driveway entrance. The two-car spacious driveway is also brick paved. Around the side of the house and out of view from the courtyard are two storage sheds. This storybook residence also boasts a new roof in 2023, new HVAC in 2024, a Rinnai tankless gas hot water heater, and front and back irrigation. Conveniently located and a short walk to restaurants and the Thomas Center, this beautiful residence is just minutes from the University of Florida, Shands Hospital, shopping, and all that downtown has to offer.
