Property Description
Step into timeless character and an unbeatable location with this two-story vintage brick traditional home, proudly showcasing a Heritage Marker reading “Dr. Harry Merchant Family 1938.” Located just seven blocks from UF, enjoy the convenience of an easy walk to campus while avoiding the hassle and expense of parking. A welcoming foyer opens into a spacious living room filled with natural light, complete with a wood-burning fireplace and access to a charming sunroom. Solid wood (red oak) floors run throughout the home, adding warmth and continuity. The remodeled kitchen flows seamlessly into a large dining room, creating the perfect space for both everyday living and entertaining. Out back, a private yard offers a peaceful retreat, framed by a beautiful stone wall along the rear and side, with mature landscaping including camellias, crepe myrtles, and other established trees that provide shade and privacy. A two-car garage is accessed via a rear neighborhood lane. The garage currently houses the washer and dryer, with additional hookups available for a stackable unit in the convenient first-floor half bath near the office. Upstairs, all three bedrooms are generously sized. The primary suite features a second fireplace for cozy evenings and a renovated ensuite bath with a marble-tiled shower. An adjacent sunroom—currently used as a quiet, light-filled office—offers a serene space to work or unwind. Additional highlights include two HVAC systems replaced in 2020, a garage roof updated in 2021, and a basement space accessible from the foyer—perfect for storage or even a future wine cellar. A rare blend of historic charm, thoughtful updates, and prime location—this home truly stands apart.
