Description

Step into a rare blend of early 1900s craftsmanship and thoughtful modern design. This meticulously restored historic home has been rebuilt from the ground up with hundreds of thousands invested in high-quality upgrades and thousands of hours of skilled, hands-on care—all with the goal of preserving its character while providing the comfort and efficiency of modern living. What began as a labor of love became a full-scale transformation. Beneath layers of wallpaper and plaster, the original beadboard walls and ceilings were uncovered and carefully restored by hand, revealing the home’s true turn-of-the-century personality. The original hardwood floors were repaired, refinished, and paired with custom period-appropriate trim, maintaining every bit of the home’s nostalgic warmth. Where possible, original windows were reglazed and restored; when not, custom replicas were crafted to match seamlessly. Every system has been thoughtfully updated, including a brand-new HVAC system with all new ductwork and central air, dual attic fans and vapor barriers for climate control, and completely new electrical, plumbing, and gas lines serving the kitchen, laundry, and on-demand tankless water heater. Every modern convenience was added with respect for the home’s original footprint, including a new third bathroom, a Jack-and-Jill bath with dual vanities and a walk-in shower, and a custom laundry and pantry with built-in cabinetry. The craftsmanship continues throughout with custom-built cabinetry, a cozy reading nook, restored shiplap and beadboard, repainted cast and wrought iron railings, a rebuilt roof, re-leveled foundation using original brickwork, and a beautifully restored brick patio. The interior and exterior have been freshly painted in curated, historic colors that honor the home’s soul. A detached garage with new electrical service, tankless gas water heater, and gas-powered stove and dryer complete the package. This home is not just a remodel—it’s a reverent restoration that honors the craftsmanship of the past while embracing the standards of today. Every inch has been elevated with intention, warmth, and enduring quality. Located within walking distance to downtown High Springs, local restaurants, brewery, and shopping, and only minutes from the Santa Fe River, springs, and an easy drive to Gainesville or Lake City.
