Description
The beautiful Shands-Cannon estate home sits on a quarter acre lot in the historic Duckpond neighborhood. Good bones and likely one of most interesting homes in the historic district! This classic and stately home provides an abundance of living space with six full bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms, and a newer roof in 2018. The welcoming entry opens into a formal dining room with gorgeous built-ins and the great room that includes a wood burning fireplace, anchored by French doors leading to an enclosed porch that functions perfectly as a family room. The eastern wing of the first floor hosts the utilitarian quarters of the home with a two-car garage, covered entry into the spacious and cozy kitchen that includes a breakfast nook, a potential office or butler's pantry, dedicated laundry room and a guest bath. With a private entrance, the downstairs suite includes a full bedroom and bath with two additional rooms. It could easily be remodeled to become an attached dwelling unit. The curved stairwell leads to three bedrooms on the second floor. The owners' suite includes a gas burning fireplace, a full bathroom, a walk-in closet and two side-by-side closets. The additional two rooms share a common bath with period vintage tile. A second stairway leads to the third floor with two more bedrooms and a shared bathroom. Intimate exterior entertaining spaces abound with a screened back porch, open patio, arbor with mature grapevines and a covered gazebo. The tiered concrete fountain and fish pond could easily be brought back to life. Additional features of this grandiose estate include a private back driveway and a large lot that could accommodate a pool, if desired. This home has been thoughtfully renovated over the years and well-loved by its most recent owners that resided there for nearly 20 years. Located on a very private street in the heart of downtown Gainesville, it is a short walk to the Thomas Center, shopping, restaurants and a weekly farmer's market. Built to the highest standards with solid wood floors, a brick exterior, custom moldings and timeless architectural details throughout. This is a gorgeous home. Come take a look!
