1024 NE 10th Ave., Gainesville, FL 32601

Mid-century cottage just a mile from downtown Gainesville. Set diagonally on a large corner lot in a quiet northeast neighborhood, this adorable concrete-block and stucco home has mature landscaping -- including azaleas, camellias, clumping bamboo, and roses -- and its own little bridge over a swale! Originally a 2/1, the house has a 16 x 30 addition that includes a fireplace, a full bathroom, a walk-in closet, washer and dryer, and terrazzo floors. The addition could be used as a large owner's suite or family room. The house has been well maintained (full PEX repipe in 2023, new roof in 2017, gas water heater in 2017, electrical upgrades in 2014) but retains its vintage charm with an enclosed sunroom in front, original metal kitchen cabinets, and additional built-in storage in the eat-in kitchen. The beautiful yard has a detached carport, a concrete and paver patio, a covered storage area perfect for bikes and grill, an 8 x 12 storage shed (built in 2019) and an extra workspace for gardening. It's an easy bike or walk to the MLK Center, Tom Petty Park, the Main Street Publix, Cypress and Grove, and the Thomas Center.
