Under contract-accepting backup offers. Step into a piece of old Florida history with this charming 1925 home located in the heart of Hawthorne. Full of character and timeless details, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence over 1,600 square feet of interior living space on a spacious nearly 3/4 acre in-town lot, blending the craftsmanship of the past with thoughtful modern updates. Zoned to allow for residential or commercial use, from a primary or secondary residence, AirBNB, or turn it into a Business, this property has endless possibilities. If you're looking to make this place your next business venture- we can help with design concepts, code requirements and space fit ups. This property welcomes you with a large 270 sqft full-length screened front porch, the perfect spot to enjoy slow mornings, evening breezes, and the peaceful charm of small-town living. Inside, you’ll find a traditional closed floor plan reminiscent of classic early 20th-century homes, where each room has its own distinct space and purpose. The front door opens into a cozy living room anchored by an original decorative fireplace, a beautiful nod to the home’s nearly century-long history. An elegant arched doorway leads from the living room into a formal dining room, creating a warm and inviting setting for gatherings and family meals. From there, doorways guide you into the kitchen, where another graceful arch reveals a built-in breakfast nook, an endearing feature that captures the charm of a bygone era. Tucked privately at the back of the home is the spacious primary suite, while the guest bedrooms and remodeled guest bathroom are situated along the right side of the house, offering a practical and comfortable layout. While the home proudly showcases its historic character, it has been thoughtfully refreshed with brand new luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout, a freshly painted interior, a beautifully remodeled guest bathroom, and new stainless steel appliances. A new HVAC system was installed just 18 months ago so you can count on cold AC during the Florida heat. A new roof installed in 2023 provides added peace of mind. And the electrical was updated two years ago. Outside, the large backyard offers plenty of room to garden, play, or create your own outdoor retreat, complete with storage sheds for extra space and a built-in carport for covered parking. Located in the quaint and historic town of Hawthorne, this property offers the quiet charm of small-town living while remaining conveniently 20–30 minutes from Gainesville and about 30 minutes to Ocala. Homes like this—rich in history, character, and classic architectural details—are becoming increasingly rare, making this a truly special opportunity to own a piece of the past.
