Description for 717 NE Boulevard, Gainesville, FL, 32601
One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Welcome to the historic Thomas House and Gardens, built in 1934 and nestled within Gainesville's beloved Duckpond Historic District. From the moment you arrive, you'll be captivated by the timeless charm of original hardwood floors, crystal doorknobs, abundant natural light, and a stunning marble fireplace that serves as the heart of the home. Thoughtfully updated for today's lifestyle, the spacious kitchen features stone countertops, extensive cabinetry, a generous pantry, and modern conveniences without taking away from the home's historic character.The bright sunroom, complete with terracotta tile floors, provides the perfect space for reading, working, or simply enjoying views of the gardens. Beyond the interior, this over half-acre property (a rarity in the Duckpond) unfolds into a series of enchanting outdoor spaces. A private courtyard offers a peaceful retreat for morning coffee or evening gatherings, while winding garden paths lead through an English garden filled with blooming azaleas, jasmine, camellias, ferns, and agapanthus. Peak around one corner to find a charming teak gazebo with bench swings. Another turn invites you to go back to the days of lawn games and garden parties. Enjoy the gentle flurry of activity of cardinals, blue jays, and woodpeckers, in a setting that feels worlds away from the city while remaining just a 10 minute walk to downtown Gainesville with its restaurants, Hippodrone Theatre and booming nightlife. The Thomas House seamlessly blends historic elegance with modern comfort. Significant updates include a stunning chef’s kitchen, a newer roof (2022), and updated bathrooms. The Thomas House is more than a home, it's an opportunity to become the next steward of a remarkable piece of Gainesville history. Rich in character and architectural detail, this exceptional property offers the rare combination of historic significance, modern updates, and expansive outdoor living spaces in one of the city's most treasured neighborhoods.
