3761 NW 39th Ave., Gainesville, FL 32606

Welcome to ShadowLawn Cottage, a mid-century modern architectural home nestled in the heart of Gainesville. With 3.5 acres of gorgeous landscaped grounds planted with exotic trees and shrubs and a creek flowing through the edge of the property, this 4 bedroom 3.5 bath 2-story home started out with very humble beginnings as a one-room stone cottage. As the home changed ownership, the home grew in proportions. Historically, this land was originally a Spanish grant, subdivided into smaller parcels. It’s current structure has its origins thanks to a Mrs. Dennis (nee Ruth). It’s been rumoured that Mrs. Dennis’ Uncle Babe Ruth came to the cottage for a visit after his retirement from baseball. This home consists of the main house, a sewing room separated by a vine-covered courtyard, a laundry /wash house, a swimming pool and a bomb shelter. Highly motivated sellers! Bring this baby back to life. It oozes untapped potential! Perhaps as an Airbnb or whatever your heart desires, this charming home is calling for its new owner.
