This home is not for everyone — and that’s exactly the point. Set in a quiet, non-HOA enclave of established, upscale homes just off Riverside Drive, this distinctive residence offers impressive square footage across three finished levels. Designed with intention, it prioritizes originality, privacy, and livability over passing trends. Desired hardwood floors span the main level. At the heart, the kitchen showcases a large island, granite countertops, soft-close cabinetry, double ovens, and a casual breakfast area. You’ll love the light-filled, sunken conversation room with skylights and beamed ceilings. A formal dining room, living room with a white-washed fireplace, an awesome library/office with built-ins, and a convenient guest suite with full bath complete the communal level. Upstairs, the primary suite is a true retreat featuring vaulted ceilings, skylights, a private balcony, and a two-sided fireplace. The spa-inspired bath includes a jacuzzi tub, steam shower, sauna, bidet, and dual walk-in closets. Three additional bedrooms, a secondary bath, and a tucked-away bonus room offer flexibility and quiet separation. The finished terrace level includes a private entrance, second kitchen, and full bath—ideal for multigenerational living, a private guest suite, or income potential. Mature landscaping surrounds the home, with a rare level front yard and a private, fenced backyard. A full-length rear deck extends the living space outdoors – imagine the memories made there across all seasons! Recent updates include a newer roof, popcorn ceiling removal, hardwood flooring upgrades, and an energy-efficient garage door system. Additional notable features include whimsical stained-glass windows, a whole-house generator, backup propane tanks, dual HVAC systems, an abundance of storage, and a private irrigation well. Epically located close to downtown Gainesville, parks, dining, shopping, medical facilities, and major highways. This truly unique abode offers a rare opportunity for buyers seeking architectural character, privacy, and flexibility.
