Unique opportunity to own a historic, block home on a rare half-acre lot in the historic Duckpond neighborhood! Owned by the same family for generations, this home is ready to be transformed back into the gem it once was. Enclosing the rear porch would add another 345 square feet of living space, and allow for an open concept living, dining and kitchen area. The current family room downstairs could become a fantastic owners' suite. There is already a ground floor bedroom and bath, and two bedrooms upstairs with beautiful wood floors and a jack-and-jill bath. All new plumbing was installed in 2018. The fantastic U2 zoning allows additional densities and accessory dwelling units. The beautiful lot has mature trees and plants including a large grapefruit tree! Walkable to downtown Gainesville and a short bike ride to the University of Florida. So much potential!
