805 NE 5th Ave., Gainesville, FL 32601

Truly magnificent brick Colonial Revival in Duckpond. Most of the historic fabric is intact with gorgeous oak floors and custom built-ins throughout the home. The downstairs includes a living room with fireplace, library, dining room, Florida room and office. The kitchen has original cabinetry in pristine condition, a fabulous copper vent hood, a proper butler''s pantry and another pantry under the stairs. Minor renovations like new countertops, appliances and flooring could bring this back to its former glory. Unique butler''s pantry has an unusual pass through in the cabinet to the second floor, and the original butler bells. On the second floor, the spacious master bedroom includes a large master bath and a walk-in closet. All of the rooms are spacious with generously sized closets. Updates include an architectural shingle roof in 2014, a 2011 HVAC, updated electrical panel and hot water heater. The two-car garage has a thoughtfully placed side-entry. Excellent entertaining area outside on the cracked tile patio with mature gardens of camellias and azaleas. Plenty of room for a pool, or a future mother-in-law suite. All of this within walking distance of downtown!
