Charming 1930s Craftsman in a prime location! Step into timeless elegance with this meticulously maintained and furnished 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home, offering 1,246 square feet of heated and cooled living space. Ideally situated in the desirable Bed and Breakfast District, just two miles from the University of Florida and UF Health, this residence exudes historic character with original wood floors, classic picture rail detailing, and thoughtfully preserved architectural charm. The 2019 kitchen renovation features stainless steel appliances, a farmhouse sink, sealed quartz countertops, and custom wood cabinetry with integrated lighting—enhancing both style and functionality. The spacious living room, centered around an original fireplace, opens to both the dining area and an additional sitting room, creating an inviting and versatile living space. Major updates ensure peace of mind, including a roof and HVAC system installed in 2018, along with updated electrical and plumbing completed under previous ownership. The front yard is framed by a charming white picket fence, "green" landscaping, low-maintenance ground cover, and a winding brick paver path that adds to the home's curb appeal. Enjoy Florida's beautiful weather in the expansive backyard, featuring raised garden beds, a cozy fire pit, and ample space for entertaining or relaxing under the stars. The property also offers the potential to add heated and cooled improvements, such as an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), providing flexibility for future expansion or investment. Whether you're seeking a primary residence, a charming retreat, or an investment opportunity, this home offers the perfect blend of classic character and modern comfort in an unbeatable location. Just blocks from downtown theater and restaurants, minutes to Depot Park—a 32-acre city park—local breweries, and historic downtown Gainesville. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of Gainesville's history!
