Professional photos coming soon. Just listed: This gorgeous Craftsman Bungalow is completely updated and set in one of the most spectacular gardens. This two-bedroom, one-bathroom home was built in 1941 and is just two blocks east of the Duck Pond. Walk to nearby restaurants, parks and downtown Gainesville. Just 10 minutes to the University of Florida and Shands/UF Health. All the heavy lifting has been done but the charm and period details remain right down to the picket fence in the front yard. From the covered front porch you enter through the Dutch door into the large, open Great Room with original wood floors. The Great Room features a vintage wood burning stove and opens to the dining area and kitchen. The whole home has updated double-paned windows. The kitchen has updated cabinets, tiled counter tops, gas cooktop and stainless steel appliances (2020). Off the dining area are French doors to the large covered screened porch. This runs the width of the entire house. The full-sized washer and dryer, purchased in 2020, are located on the porch. To the right of the Great Room is the bathroom with custom tile on the walls, built-in storage, claw foot tub and updated lighting and plumbing fixtures. At the end of the hall on the right is the guest bedroom with built-in closet, updated windows and wood floors. To the left is the primary bedroom which also has updated windows and beautiful wood floors. A set of French doors leads to the screened porch. The rear yard has a wood privacy fence with gates on each side, brick walkways, and a large brick patio. Reclaimed Augusta Block bricks have been used throughout the .17 acres for the driveway, planters, walkways, firepit, raised fish pond and waterfall. There is a storage shed for wood and tools as well as a second, larger walk-in shed. This has a lean-to porch off the side, pergola on the front and offers lots of storage and work space. The beautiful gardens have many fruit trees including peach, fig and blueberry. There are raised planters in the front, an irrigation system throughout the property and a cistern. The home has a 50 year metal roof (2012), new HVAC system (2021), gas tankless water heater (2019). The plumbing was replaced in 2011, and a new sewer line was installed in 2025. Electrical was updated and rewired completely in 2010. No HOA or historic district. This is truly a turn-key property in a great NE Gainesville location in a beautifully done setting.
