Set on a large corner lot just east of the Historic Duckpond area, this bright and airy 1950s home offers flexibility and value that’s hard to find. With 5 bedrooms and 3 full baths, the standout feature is a fully integrated 2-bedroom, 1-bath rear wing with its own private entrance (and HVAC system)—well suited for extended stays, guests, or income-producing potential.
Inside, natural light fills the main living spaces. The family and dining area centers around a wood-burning fireplace with updated brick, blending original character with clean, modern touches. Key updates include double-pane windows, updated kitchen, a metal roof, a tankless water heater, new gutters w/ leaf guards,—improvements that matter.
Step outside to a newer paver patio and a completely separate, custom studio, ready for work, workouts, creative projects, or a quiet retreat.
Location ties it all together: approximately 1.2 miles to The Hippodrome, about 2.5 miles to University of Florida, 3 miles to UF Health Shands Hospital, and 3.5 miles to Malcom Randall VA Medical Center. A rare combination of space, flexibility, and proximity in one of Gainesville’s most established areas. Video Tour: https://youtu.be/xuhp_Kz8PPI
