Property Description

Step into a captivating blend of historical charm and modern functionality with this expansive 4-bedroom, 3-bath home just blocks from High Springs' restaurants and shopping. High and dry on a generous 0.73-acre lot, this 2,785 sq ft concrete block residence offers both space and character, beginning with its welcoming covered entryway and mature landscaping. As you enter, original hardwood floors, high ceilings, and open floor plan welcome you in. Two large living rooms and two dining spaces are in place, offering plenty of flexibility for entertaining and relaxation alike. The custom kitchen is nicely updated, with custom wood cabinetry, an island, stainless steel appliances, lots of counter space, a breakfast bar with corrugated tin accents that add a unique farmhouse touch, and an additional walk-in pantry for ample storage options. Adjacent to the kitchen, the dining room invites natural light through large windows and is perfectly suited for everyday meals or hosting guests. Generously sized bedrooms offer plenty of space for relaxation and privacy, with the primary suite serving as a peaceful retreat complete with a walk-in closet and private ensuite bath. To the side of the home is a spacious screen-enclosed patio, offering the perfect space to enjoy year-round warm weather in comfort. An above-ground pool with child safety fencing and pool sweep offers a refreshing option during the warmer months, while the sprawling backyard provides plenty of opportunity to establish a garden or enjoy a variety of recreational options. Additional upgrades include a new heat/AC system (2024), new appliances (2023), metal roof (2021), whole-home surge protection, low utilities with Duke Energy and the city of High Springs, and a home warranty. A freestanding 10x12' concrete block storage shed provides room for tools or hobbies, and mature trees offer privacy and shade throughout the yard. This historic arts-and-crafts farmhouse retains its 1937 roots while offering the updates needed for today’s lifestyle and could easily last another 100 years with proper maintenance. This property offers convenient access to the heart of High Springs, with local shops, popular springs and state parks, and the larger metropolitan area of Gainesville just a short drive away. Whether you’re looking to settle into a spacious homestead or simply want a home with timeless appeal and outdoor enjoyment, this property delivers a rare combination of space, character, and comfort!
