Residential Property - Single Family Residence in Gainesville
Listing Price: $899,000
Description of Property
Just blocks from the University of Florida and tucked down a quiet street in the coveted Stringfellow Broome neighborhood, this historic brick pool home is a rare find. A covered front porch and a pergola laced with climbing roses create curb appeal that hints at everything waiting inside — a residence where original architectural details have been preserved and thoughtful updates have been seamlessly integrated, where a lush courtyard garden and sparkling pool await beyond the back door, and where every room reflects a level of craftsmanship and character that is truly irreplaceable. ~~ Historic charm abounds with dual fireplaces, beamed ceilings, and custom built-ins that create an atmosphere that feels both grand and intimate. Beautiful oak floors and basket-weave terra cotta tile flow throughout, while intricate historical millwork at every turn speaks to the care and quality that defines this home. ~~ The layout is as functional as it is impressive, with four bedrooms, a living room, dining room, family room, and a library nook with French doors that open to the outdoors, a perfect setting for quiet mornings. The updated kitchen strikes the perfect balance between modern convenience and character, featuring a gas range, stainless refrigerator, and stone countertops alongside ample cabinetry, all while preserving the aesthetic that makes this home so special. The bathrooms have been similarly updated with care. Throughout the home, generous storage — extraordinary for a historic property — ensures everything has its place, and practical modern upgrades including a tankless water heater and whole-house generator mean. ~~ Outside, the fully enclosed brick courtyard is a private sanctuary. The covered patio has been outfitted with a summer kitchen and overlooks the sparkling pool and spa. The setting is lush and serene with beautiful mature landscaping, offering a true retreat feeling just minutes from everything Gainesville has to offer. A detached workshop add versatility, and a unique rear access alley rounds out the outdoor picture. ~~ This is a home that offers something increasingly rare — genuine character, extraordinary Florida living, and an in-town location that cannot be beat. For the sophisticated buyer who has been waiting to find something truly special, the wait is over.
