*Back on the market due to no fault of the home.* One or more photos was virtually staged (fire shown in fireplaces). Spectacular historic home on Cholokka Boulevard in the heart of Micanopy’s Historic District! Located on a mossy oak-lined street that hosts a marvelous Fall Festival and is filled with endearing antique stores, specialty shops, cafes, and the 1845 Herlong Mansion B&B (next door neighbor), the 3-bed, 2.5-bath home features a beautiful .67-acre lot and comfortable, traditional covered porches across the front of the home featuring both open and screened areas. You’ll feel the old Floridian atmosphere as you approach the home, step up to the front door and walk into the breathtaking interior that has many of the original designs including 11’ high ceilings, pine wood flooring, wainscoting, French doors, and bay windows. The spacious kitchen was upgraded in 2017 with new cabinetry, s/s appliances and granite countertops. Ceiling lights and fans have also been updated. The rooms are gorgeous, large and comfortable, easily flow into one another, and have lovely views of the property’s mature foliage. The large central room features a wood burning fireplace insert with lined flue. The huge and luxurious master suite would uplift any weary soul. Two front screened-in porches offer discreet viewing of the charming Boulevard while outdoor backyard seating provides time to rest and reflect under mature cabbage palms, stately old oaks, pecan trees, bamboo, wax myrtle and grape arbor. The septic tank and drain field were replaced in 2014, a new HVAC system was installed in 2015, and the exterior was painted in 2017. A steel storage shed, matching the loveliness of the house, was added to the property. Zoned C-1, you can start the business venture you’ve been dreaming of, or just enjoy living in a beautiful move-in ready circa 1890s home. When it’s time for a change of scenery, Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park with 8 trails, over 300 species of birds, and wild-roaming bison, horses, deer and alligators, is only a couple of miles away. It’s also a short commute to I-75, and Gainesville is just 12 miles north on Hwy 441. If you love the idea of living in a gem of a home that is on the National Register of Historic Places, you’ll want to schedule a private showing before this opportunity passes you by!
