A two story 1960's gem in a non-HOA neighborhood along Biven's Arm beckons you to come for a visit. This is one of those classic Gainesville homes off of 441 and close to UF on a road you have more than likely not driven down before, it's a great reminder to look for beautiful homes off the beaten path that are still close to campus. This home has all the classic features you'd expect, terrazzo and wood floors, pecky cypress accent walls, old tile in great colors, large sized rooms, a huge Florida room with glass sliders, a traditional rectangular inground pool, an immense barn for your projects, all on a 1.7-acre lot. On the main level of this home, you will find a large family room with coffered ceilings, and a gorgeous wood burning fireplace framed in wood and marble. The kitchen connects to this room as well as the formal dining area featuring a full wall of pecky cypress. Across the back of the home there is a Florida room enclosed with sliding glass doors that overlook the pool and backyard with mature trees. Downstairs is a bedroom with a full bathroom, another additional full bathroom, a laundry room with loads of added cabinetry and a second microwave and oven to assist the kitchen. The two-car garage was converted to another living space with a wood burning fireplace and an additional storage room with custom wood shelving. Upstairs there are four more bedrooms that are all generously sized with original wood flooring throughout all bedrooms, an office, and 2 full bathrooms. The two bedrooms facing the back of the home each have an adjoining space that could make a great office or additional closet area. Attached to the peach tiled bathroom upstairs is also a huge walk-in closet with custom wood shelving. For enjoyment of this home outside, there is a fenced in pool -- the wonderful large rectangular pools synonymous with the 1960's. There is also an expansive barn that was used for iron working and could easily accommodate most hobbies and storage. It is possible to enter the property from just behind the barn from SW 18th St. The total size of this parcel is 1.77 acres and with no HOA, there are so many options for how to enjoy this tucked back oasis. With this home there is opportunity to further enhance the style that is already there or modernize the home to fit your tastes. Either way, with over 4,000 feet of living space, there will be something for everyone and plenty of room for all of your needs.
