Description

Under contract-accepting backup offers. Set on a prominent corner in one of Gainesville’s most vibrant and connected pockets, this thoughtfully preserved 1910 duplex offers a rare blend of historic character and enduring functionality. Moments from the University of Florida and surrounded by beloved local restaurants, the location supports both a dynamic lifestyle and consistent rental demand, making this a compelling opportunity for investors and owner occupants alike. The home’s sunny yellow exterior and covered front porch introduce a sense of classic Southern charm, while inside, both residences reflect careful stewardship of the home’s original spirit. Across the two units, a total of four bedrooms and three bathrooms unfold within well considered layouts that balance privacy with livability. Unit A offers a 2 bed 1 bath configuration with a charming private walk up that creates a sense of separation and retreat. The interior carries a cozy, comfortable feel, well suited for quiet living while still benefiting from the energy and accessibility of the surrounding neighborhood. Unit B welcomes with an airy entry that leads into a light-filled living room, where an original fireplace anchors the space with quiet presence. Hardwood floors extend underfoot, honoring the era while offering warmth and continuity. An elegant passthrough connects the living area to a thoughtfully arranged kitchen, creating an easy rhythm for everyday living and gatherings alike. Butcher block counters provide generous workspace above grey cabinetry, while natural light enhances the efficiency of the galley design. A discreet laundry closet on the main level adds convenience without interrupting the flow. The primary suite reflects the proportions and character of early 20th century design, offering a spacious retreat complemented by a charming ensuite bath and an expansive walk in closet. Whether envisioned as an income-producing asset, a dual residence for shared living, or a strategic house hack, this duplex presents flexibility rarely found in such a storied setting. Proximity to campus, strong rental appeal, and timeless architectural character come together in a property that continues to offer both purpose and possibility.
