Under contract-accepting backup offers. Tucked away on a lush, nearly half-acre parcel in the coveted Mason Manor neighborhood, this timeless 1957 pool home offers approximately 3,425 sq ft of living space, all on one level of solid concrete block construction. With 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, warm hardwood floors, and a stately brick fireplace, it’s a home that feels both rooted in history and ready for new stories. Your tour begins in a sunlit foyer, where gleaming original hardwoods and twin coat closets welcome you in. Down the left wing, three tranquil bedrooms await, two with views of the sparkling pool and their own doors to the deck. A guest bath offers a second exterior entrance, perfect for poolside gatherings. At the far end, the primary suite unfolds like a private sanctuary, with an expansive ensuite bath and a walk-in closet the size of a small room. At the heart of the home, the kitchen is a picture of classic craftsmanship, featuring solid wood cabinetry, a charming farmhouse tile backsplash, and a peninsular island for casual dining or conversation. Windows wrap the space in natural light, offering serene views of the pool and lush backyard. The breakfast nook’s French doors lead straight to the shaded patio and pool deck. A formal dining room flows seamlessly into an intimate sitting area, then onward to the grand 20’ x 33’ family room complete with a brick fireplace, custom wood built-ins, and a cozy bay window seat. A private fourth bedroom suite rests just beyond, separated by the laundry room and a spacious utility area, ideal for guests, extended family, or a quiet work-from-home haven. Outside, a storybook setting unfolds: a charming courtyard, a sweep of emerald lawn, and a massive covered patio beneath your caged pool deck. The north-side driveway offers parking for up to four vehicles in addition to an oversized two-car garage. Daily walks to Loblolly Woods Nature Park and Hogtown Creek are just steps away, with a trail entrance down the street. Summer afternoons and starlit evenings have never looked better. The two adjacent lots are being offered separately, but all three parcels can be purchased together to create a rare estate property in the heart of Gainesville.
