Property Description

Welcome to the Tree House—one of Gainesville’s most notable mid-century modern residences nestled amid the canopy overlooking Hogtown Creek. Originally designed in 1956 and set on a stunning almost one-acre homesite, this jewel box of a property features a meticulously restored two-bedroom, one bath residence with additional detached workshop that could easily be transformed into an accessory dwelling unit. A rare architectural treasure set in an abundance of nature, this home evokes the feeling of a luxe Costa Rican villa while embracing the timeless principles of Frank Lloyd Wright inspired design—where architecture and nature exist as one. Breathtaking panoramic views and an abundance of natural light greet you as soon as you walk through the door. Continuous glass sliders spanning the entire back of the home dissolve the boundary between indoors and out, creating an immersive living experience second to none. The Tree House's distinctive, organic character is showcased through stacked limestone brickwork, refinished hardwood floors and numerous preserved original details. At the heart of the home, a handcrafted wood-burning fireplace anchors the living area creating a central focal point of warmth, while the partially open kitchen has been sleekly updated to blend contemporary convenience with timeless design. Highlights include a modern cooktop, stainless steel sink, stainless smart refrigerator, custom spice rack and newly restored original Thermador oven. Each bedroom boasts original mid-century built-ins and wall-to-wall sliding wood closets, cedar lined with striking natural grain and custom millwork, offering generous storage while serving as a true design feature. The absolute showstopper, however, is the home's back porch which runs the entire length of the residence and features exposed beam ceilings, completely refinished decking and sweeping views of the surrounding greenery. This elevated indoor-outdoor living space feels like a private sanctuary—perfect for morning coffee, evening gatherings, or simply taking in the peaceful, nature-filled setting. Along the west side of the main residence, you'll find an intimate courtyard with multi-level patio featuring mosaic flagstone pavers, custom lattice work, a creeping vine wall and slatted wood privacy paneling. An additional elevated wood deck overlooks the space, creating a layered, garden-inspired environment ideal for entertaining or quiet relaxation. Adjacent to the courtyard, is an almost 300 square foot detached workshop, complete with a separate electric panel, making it the ideal place for a home gym, yoga studio or easy ADU conversion. A jasmine covered carport flanked by breeze blocks, as well as a freshly mulched driveway with guest parking area and a large thoughtfully landscaped front yard finish out this incredible home. Despite its private, refuge-like setting, this one-of-a-kind property is conveniently located walking distance from Aldi, Publix, coffee shops, and offers a direct route down 13th Street to the University of Florida. Eclectic, sultry, and undeniably unique—the Tree House is a masterclass in mid-century modern design, restored and ready for its next steward. Don't miss this opportunity to make it yours!
