Alachua, GAINESVILLE
On the market for the first time in 29 years, the Castle House is one of Gainesville's most iconic homes. Built in 1897, this well-loved historic home has maintained its historical character over the decades. Set back on a large lot, the original iron fencing and gates provide a portal into a magically landscaped lot that includes mature camellias, palms and magnolias. Step up onto the oversized front porch outfitted with two porch swings and plenty of additional space for seating and porch plantings. The gorgeous front Dutch door opens into a proper entry with a graceful stairwell that connects the parlor, the formal dining area and access to the private screened side porch. Every room features high ceilings, wide baseboards and heart pine floors. With seven unique fireplaces, built-in bookshelves, leaded glass windows, original lighting fixtures and sconces, it feels like stepping back in time. Yet, this home has been thoughtfully maintained and includes a NEW standing-seam metal roof, central HVAC systems and a newer water heater. The warm and inviting dining room has beautiful wood wainscotting, a plate rail, a fireplace and a swinging door leading into the spacious kitchen. The ground floor also includes a parlor, living room with built-in bookcases, a spacious kitchen and an additional room with attached bath that is ideal for a ground-floor primary bedroom. The kitchen has all wood cabinets and a secondary staircase. Two of the upstairs bedrooms share a jack-and-jill bath with one of them featuring a window seat and beautiful fireplace. The third upstairs bedroom has easy access to the hall bathroom that includes a clawfoot tub. The north facing rooms on the second story can be accessed by an exterior stairwell from the front porch. It has been functioning as an attached separate suite with a full-bath, kitchen, living room, bedroom and a bonus space with lots of natural ight. The third-story is accessible with a staircase and can be used for extra storage or could easily be finished out to an additional space. There is also a detached garage for parking or as a workshop space. The close proximity to downtown Gainesville means this home is walkable to great restaurants and the entertainment district. A truly special home and unique opportunity.
