## Description

### Agent Description
A Duckpond cutie with a dreamy front porch and an income-producing detached apartment.

Built in 1919, this two-story charmer has the kind of soul old house lovers are always hoping for: heart pine floors, tall ceilings, huge windows, a beautiful original staircase, and gorgeous formal living and dining spaces that feel both grand and livable.

A full bedroom and bathroom downstairs make the layout practical, not just charming, while upstairs you’ll find additional bedrooms, bonus flex space perfect for an office, and a clawfoot tub tucked into a spacious bath.

The detached 1/1 garage apartment has its own private entrance and offers income potential, guest space, or room for multigenerational living.

Major updates include a metal roof in 2020, HVAC in 2022, updated PVC plumbing and sewer lines, and 200 amp electrical. All just moments from downtown Gainesville, UF, and the charm of Duckpond living.
