This rare, vintage colonial revival home in University Park features unique period craftsmanship and is located less than a mile north of the University of Florida, making it an easy walk or bike ride to campus and midtown restaurants. The structural solid brick exterior is unheard of in modern residential construction. Large windows are found on all sides of the house. The interior is finished with unique wood trim and built-in cabinetry. Glass door knobs with intricate brass hardware are found on several interior doors. Solid red oak floors cover most rooms, including all bedrooms. A fully renovated kitchen features custom ceiling-height cabinetry, brick herringbone floors, beadboard-finished walls, and stainless steel appliances. The adjacent breakfast nook is separated from the formal dining room with a swinging door. The living room features a large, stately fireplace. An adjacent air conditioned sunroom overlooks the backyard with a variety of mature trees, including camellias, rhododendron, and privet, providing shade and serenity. A solid stone wall separates the backyard from the rear alleyway. The master bedroom is unusually large for the period and features an en-suite bathroom and walk-in closets. French doors open from the master to a second sunroom, which makes for a bright and airy private study or lounge. Both upstairs and downstairs HVAC systems were replaced in 2020. A small basement serves as a mechanical room, convenient storage, and even a wine cellar. A detached two car garage opens to the alleyway behind the house and is invisible from the home’s facade. This type of home is highly unusual for the area, and is becoming increasingly rare in Gainesville. Help preserve its grandeur as the fifth owner in its 85 year history.
