240 6TH, GAINESVILLE, FL 32601

Description

This home is set back from the street with a welcoming presence. Built in 1928, the craftsman style bungalow has been meticulously maintained by the current owners. You enter the home through a large screened porch which is a great place for your rocking chair and that morning cup of coffee. The living room is filled with light through the large double-hung windows. A wood-burning fireplace with art deco mantle provides a focal point. Throughout the home, hardwood floors, restored to their original luster, reflect a quality of craftsmanship seldom found in newer homes. In the dining room, the original chandelier has been beautifully restored and rewired. The kitchen features hexagonal porcelain tile countertops with black trim, and a generous breakfast nook. The two bedrooms are also filled with natural light. The bathroom features period tile and fixtures. A sleeping porch completes the home and is currently used as the laundry. From the kitchen, a rear porch leads to the back yard with a brick patio overlooking Sweetwater Park. The central location is within walking distance of numerous restaurants, entertainment venues including Bo Diddley Plaza, DePot Park, and biking distance to UF and Santa Fe College downtown.
