A rare private sanctuary in the heart of Gainesville, this home has been masterfully transformed with major upgrades and architect designed additions, offering tranquility just minutes from UF (1.3mi), Shands (2.4mi) , and Downtown (2.2mi). From the moment you enter, seamless sight lines draw your eye from front to back while the fully fenced yard creates a sense of complete privacy. Soaring 10 ceilings and a sustainability minded renovation enhance both comfort and efficiency, complemented by a high efficiency HVAC system and smart home technologies. Every detail connects you to the outdoors. Professionally designed gardens surround a custom, self sustaining water garden, while curated outdoor lighting creates a peaceful ambiance perfect for evening relaxation or entertaining. The setting feels like your own private park, tucked away on a quiet dead end street in a beautiful canopied neighborhood. A detached building with a separate entrance and private parking offers incredible flexibility, ideal for a home office, studio, in law suite, or short term rental opportunity. Thoughtful additions such as a barrier free shower and ADA design features add both function and long term livability. This is a rare opportunity to own a one of a kind property where privacy, design, and location come together effortlessly.
