7216 20TH PLACE
GAINESVILLE, FL 32605
About this home
Behind wrought iron gates and a brick fence on nearly 5 private acres, this magnificent colonial estate offers over 6,000 SF of luxury living in one of NW Gainesville's most exclusive — and best-kept — secrets. No HOA. No compromises. A circular driveway leads to a striking façade with tall round columns and dual balconies. Inside, nearly 20-foot foyer ceilings and a sweeping curved staircase set the tone. The traditional floor plan features a formal dining room, formal sitting room with fireplace, and a spacious kitchen with island flowing into a café area and family room anchored by a double-sided wood-burning fireplace. On the other side of that fireplace, a custom mahogany bar with built-in shelving, lighting, and sink makes the Parlor an entertainer's showpiece. The first-floor primary suite opens via French doors to the garden and pool lanai, with an adjoining study and guest half bath. A Florida sunroom with pool bath overlooks the large pool and travertine paver deck. Upstairs offers five oversized bedrooms and three full bathrooms. The property also features a large barn with true horse stalls and tack rooms — a rare find this close to everything. Minutes to Fresh Market, Thornebrook Village, Publix, Buchholz High, Santa Fe College, UF, UF Health, and Oaks Mall. A legacy estate of this scale, setting, and location is a once-in-a-market opportunity.
