Cottage

Tucked into the charming Hickory Walk enclave of Haile Plantation, this beautifully remodeled corner home offers a rare blend of privacy, thoughtful design, and effortless indoor-outdoor living just moments from the vibrant Haile Village Center. As you arrive, mature landscaping and thoughtfully curated gardens set the tone. Native Oakleaf hydrangeas line the side yard, while a custom milled wood trellis draped with American wisteria adds architectural charm above the garage. Step inside to discover soaring ceilings and a light-filled interior where every area captures views of the landscaped outdoor spaces beyond. Unlike many homes in Hickory Walk, this 2 bedroom, 2 bath floorplan offers expanded living and dining areas, creating a more spacious feel for entertaining or relaxing at home. In the kitchen, an additional flexible dining or office nook provides the perfect space for casual meals, morning coffee, or a work-from-home setup. At the heart of the home is a stunning 14’ x 14’ lanai, uniquely positioned between the living room, dining area, and primary suite. Partially covered and beautifully integrated into the home’s design, the lanai creates a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience and serves as a natural bridge to the enclosed backyard oasis. The backyard has been carefully designed for both entertaining and tranquility. Construction-grade pavers and artificial turf create a polished outdoor living space surrounded by gardens featuring a butterfly wildflower area, fig tree, plum trees, and a loquat tree. Whether hosting friends around the teak dining table, grilling under the stars, or enjoying a quiet evening on the lanai, this outdoor space is truly special. As an added bonus the seller is leaving the entertaining equipment at the home for you! Included with purchase are the double sided gas grill with cover, wood burning grill with cover (great for pizza), two outdoor standing work cabinets with covers, 10 outdoor armchairs with cushions, 4 gray folding side tables, 4 contemporary outdoor dining chairs, 54” round teak dining table, four vintage woven wicker chairs with cushions, two matching side tables, garden stool, two potted palms and two outdoor front porch chairs with cushions and planted Italian ceramic pot. Inside, the home showcases a curated collection of design upgrades, highlights include designer wallpaper accents, a Tony Duquette chandelier, plantation-style shutters, custom cabinet hardware, and refreshed interior paint throughout the main living spaces and bedrooms. Practical benefits add even more value: free irrigation water, gutter guards, updated water heater (2022) and insurable roof (2016). Hickory Walk residents also enjoy convenient golf cart access points throughout Haile Plantation. Living here means enjoying the best of the Haile lifestyle. Just minutes away, Haile Village Center offers local restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, and the popular Saturday farmers market. Miles of scenic walking and biking trails weave throughout the community. Beyond Haile, the home offers quick access to Butler Plaza, Celebration Pointe, the University of Florida, UF Health/Shands Hospital, and North Florida Regional Medical Center, making it an ideal location for anyone seeking convenience without sacrificing neighborhood charm. This is a rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully updated home in one of Gainesville’s most beloved communities.
