MAJOR PRICE IMPROVEMENT! Welcome to this rare mid-century ranch, a timeless architectural gem designed and built in 1952 by noted Gainesville architect Merle Haynes. Located just six blocks from the University of Florida and its renowned sports venues, this 2,900 sq ft home blends classic design with modern convenience, all set on a beautifully landscaped over half-acre lot. Lovingly cared for by only two owners and never rented, this home exudes warmth and craftsmanship throughout. Inside, you'll find heartwood oak and pine trim, custom built-in cabinets and bookcases, and hardwood floors flowing through the main living areas. The tile-floored bathrooms, wood-paneled study, and fireplace add to the home's rich, inviting character. The spacious, eat-in kitchen is perfect for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring high-end appliances including a Wolf gas cooktop, double oven, two refrigerators, an undercounter ice maker and beverage fridge, plus a dishwasher and washer/dryer. Step outside to a 1,600 sq ft brick patio professionally designed with lighting for evening entertaining, along with brick garden paths and a 3-car driveway by Landscapes Unlimited. The two-car garage offers built-in storage, and the rooftop solar electric system brings energy efficiency. Nature lovers will be enchanted by the park-like garden, featuring a camellia grove and many trees, including fig, olive, calamondin orange, magnolia, and live oaks. Layered throughout are palms, sagos, tea olives, bougainvillea, gardenias, azaleas, hydrangeas, crepe myrtles, and loropetalum hedges. A well and irrigation system support this thriving landscape year-round. With 3 bedrooms, generous closets, a formal dining room with built-in china cabinets, and a large living room with fireplace, this home offers space, character, and a location that’s hard to beat. Homes like this rarely come on the market—schedule your private showing today and experience the unique charm and history of this Gainesville classic.
