Property Description

Some homes are built. Others are engineered to endure for generations. Welcome to Richmond, where timeless craftsmanship meets one of Gainesville's most remarkable private settings. Constructed with FULL STRUCTURAL BRICK, this is not a conventional wood-framed home with brick veneer. True structural masonry construction is rarely found in residential homes today and represents a level of durability, strength, and craftsmanship that is increasingly difficult and significantly more expensive to replicate. Positioned on 1.46 private acres overlooking a scenic ravine and framed by majestic live oaks, the property offers a setting that feels secluded while remaining just minutes from the best of northwest Gainesville. Beyond the home itself, the owners have created MORE THAN $200,000 of value IN PROFESSIONAL LANDSCAPING AND HARDSCAPING, transforming the grounds into a private resort. Stone walkways, outdoor gathering spaces, mature landscaping, automatic landscape lighting, and thoughtfully designed entertaining areas create an environment that is every bit as exceptional as the residence itself. Comfort and efficiency were equally prioritized with FULL ISONENE SPRAY FOAM INSULATION THROUGHOUT THE DETACHED GARAGE APARTMENT, providing outstanding energy efficiency, quieter interior spaces, and year-round comfort. Designed by renowned architect Tom Hunt, the home blends timeless architecture with thoughtful functionality. Soaring ceilings, extensive crown molding, engineered hardwood flooring, plantation shutters, multiple fireplaces, and expansive windows fill the home with warmth, character, and natural light. The chef's kitchen serves as the heart of the home, featuring custom Busby cherry cabinetry, a six-burner Thermador range, generous preparation space, and seamless flow into the living and entertaining areas. The primary suite offers its own private retreat with a fireplace, sitting area, and direct access to the outdoor living spaces. Outside, entertaining becomes an experience. Relax beside the screened pool overlooking the ravine, unwind in the hot tub, gather around TWO OUTDOOR FIRE PITS, including one gas and one traditional wood-burning, enjoy evenings beneath the lighted gazebo, or rinse off after a swim in the outdoor shower. Every space was intentionally designed to bring people together while embracing the natural beauty surrounding the home. The detached garage apartment offers outstanding flexibility for extended family, guests, a private office, multigenerational living, or future income potential. Luxury is often measured by finishes. True quality is measured by how a home was built. For the buyer who appreciates exceptional construction, enduring craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and investments that cannot simply be duplicated, this Richmond estate represents a rare opportunity.
