Welcome to Dacostas Addition, part of the Oakview area in NW Gainesville where you can ride your bike to Cypress & Grove, grocery stores, parks, and UF. Built in 1949, the home is truly charming and with the added pool and surrounding paver patio it’s an oasis that feels peaceful, nostalgic, and welcoming. This home received a metal roof in 2020, has a two-car detached garage, and the parcel is .32 acres so there is a lot of yard space for gardening. As you walk through the picket fence, down the front walkway, and up the stairs to the beautiful tile porch you enter the home though the 74-year-old wood door with original hardware. Please take a moment to open and close the door and appreciate the true craftmanship of that era. As you enter the home you will find the bright living room with two skylights and the original wood floors which are eye catching. The living room connects to a dining area and the kitchen. The kitchen receives wonderful natural light and overlooks the front yard, but it could use some updating. There is also a door in the kitchen with steps down to the driveway for easy unloading of groceries. This home has 3 bedrooms that are a comfortable size and one of the guest bedrooms has a Murphy bed and shelving system. The main bedroom has a slider as well as a door that exits to the pool area. The home shares a full bathroom in the hallway. This is a super sweet house in an ideal location and the combination of a house rich in history with a modern pool area is truly unique. We look forward to your showing!
