They don't build homes like this anymore! Resting on over an acre across two city lots, this four-sided brick ranch with a finished terrace level blends enduring craftsmanship with endless possibilities-all just minutes from Downtown Gainesville. Inside, two dramatic brick fireplaces anchor both the living room and terrace-level den, creating a warm heartbeat for gatherings. The main floor offers inviting living spaces, including a formal dining room, sunroom-style billiard room, and an open connection between kitchen and family room. Three bedrooms and two baths complete the main level, while downstairs extends the lifestyle with a full kitchen, additional bedroom and bath, flexible rooms, and abundant storage. Step outside to discover a private sanctuary of mature trees, flowering gardens, and visiting wildlife. Whether you imagine weekend cookouts, expanded gardens, or simply savoring the quiet, the setting invites it all. With thoughtful updates to roof and systems, this is a rare retreat in the city-full of character, space, and timeless appeal.
