4249 NW 56TH WAY, Gainesville, FL 32606

Located in the highly sought-after Huntington neighborhood, this 2,760 sq ft home sits on just under half an acre directly across from the community pond, offering a setting that combines space, privacy, and convenience in one of the area’s most desirable communities.

Originally designed as a 4-bedroom home, this property features a large third bedroom with the potential to be restored to a fourth, offering flexible options to suit your needs. Inside, the home immediately opens up with soaring ceilings that carry through the main living areas and into the primary suite, creating a sense of volume that’s hard to find.

The layout is built around a large, open-concept kitchen and living space that truly functions as the heart of the home. The kitchen stands out with its size, layout, and functionality. Featuring extensive counter space, a large center island, breakfast bar seating, and abundant cabinetry, it is designed for both everyday use and entertaining.

It opens directly to the main living area, allowing for easy flow and connection throughout the home. The living room is a standout space, anchored by a custom built-in wall with fireplace and shelving, and framed by a full wall of windows that bring in natural light and views of the pool and backyard.

The ceiling height combined with the openness of the space makes it feel expansive without losing comfort, and the layout offers multiple options for furniture placement and gathering. The primary suite continues the theme of scale and separation, featuring its own fireplace, a custom feature wall, and a spacious bathroom with soaking tub, walk-in shower, and generous layout.

It feels like a true retreat within the home. Step outside and the property really starts to separate itself. The screened-in pool, recently resurfaced, anchors the backyard and is complemented by a covered patio with a built-in wet bar, an extended paver patio, and a dedicated firepit area.

Mature trees line the rear property line and create a high level of privacy. The property also offers practical advantages, including an extended driveway with ample parking, a large two-car garage with extended ceiling height, and a side yard with a double gate for hidden boat or trailer parking.

Major updates have already been completed, including a new roof in 2018, pool heater in 2019, updated kitchen appliances with a newer dishwasher in 2022 and oven in 2026, pool resurfacing in 2024, and both the pool pump and one HVAC unit replaced in 2025. A well-rounded property that delivers on space, layout, flexibility, and indoor-outdoor living in one of the area’s most desirable neighborhoods.
