The Laurel Oak Inn is a landmark Victorian hospitality property located on one of north central Florida’s most historically significant streets, just steps from downtown. Originally built in 1885, this grand mansion has long been regarded as one of the crown jewels of the district and underwent a comprehensive restoration in 2005 to preserve its architectural integrity while modernizing its systems and functionality. The inn features nearly 1,000 square feet of covered wraparound porches showcasing classic Victorian woodwork and providing an inviting outdoor gathering space. The interior offers tall ceilings, expansive windows, extensive millwork, and original heart pine floors throughout. The main level includes a spacious living room, formal dining room, guest suite with en suite bath, half bath, and a large eat-in kitchen designed to support hospitality operations. The second floor houses laundry facilities and four additional guest suites, each with a fireplace and private en suite bathroom. The third level features a private penthouse apartment with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchenette, a dining area, a living room, and an office, making it ideal for an owner-operator residence, extended stay guests, or multigenerational use. Set beneath mature laurel oaks draped in Spanish moss, the grounds provide a serene setting well suited for events or guest enjoyment. The property is approved for a liquor license and restaurant license and has a proven operating history as a successful historic inn. It is offered with the option to convey fully furnished, allowing for a true turnkey hospitality investment. The Laurel Oak Inn presents a rare opportunity to acquire a distinguished, income-producing historic property with flexible use potential in one of Gainesville’s most desirable and walkable districts.

Two magnificent silver date palm trees frame the approach to this stunning Tommy Waters built, custom, four bedroom, four and half bath home, immediately setting the tone for the exceptional quality and curb appeal that awaits. Brick pavers lead you to the front entry, where elegant four-panel glass double doors open into a light-filled foyer. Overhead, a soaring vaulted ceiling adorned with striking cypress beams creates a dramatic yet welcoming first impression. Just off the foyer, you’ll find a beautifully appointed powder room featuring quartz countertops—perfect for guests. As you continue forward, the home opens seamlessly into the spacious family room, designed for both comfort and entertaining. Cypress beam coffered ceilings add warmth and architectural interest, while the lunar gas fireplace, finished with floor-to-ceiling porcelain tile and flanked by open shelving, serves as a sophisticated focal point. Fully pocketing sliding glass doors span the back wall, effortlessly blending indoor and outdoor living as they open to the expansive brick-paver lanai, swimming pool, and heated saltwater spa. Beyond the lanai, the home enjoys exceptional privacy, backing up to a serene seven-acre common area that will never be built on, with additional green space along one side of the property. The heart of the home is the gourmet kitchen, thoughtfully designed with both beauty and function in mind. White 42-inch shaker cabinets—some with glass fronts and integrated LED lighting—offer abundant storage, while quartz countertops provide a clean, modern finish. A massive 10-foot center island anchors the space, featuring a large trough sink with built-in accessories and ample seating. Cooking enthusiasts will appreciate the 48-inch gas range, pot-and-pan drawers, a hideaway walk-in pantry and stylish three lantern chandeliers that add a touch of elegance. Adjacent to the kitchen, a separate dining room showcases a gorgeous chandelier, making it ideal for hosting intimate dinners or special occasions. The open, three-way split floor plan ensures privacy throughout, with all four bedrooms offering en suite bathrooms. The primary suite is a true retreat, boasting a spacious bedroom, a custom oversized walk-in closet, and a luxurious spa-like bathroom. Dual vanities with quartz countertops are complemented by a dedicated storage vanity, a freestanding soaking tub, and a large walk-in shower with a rain head. The oversized laundry room includes a sink, window, and plenty of cabinets, while a convenient mudroom drop station keeps daily life organized. The oversized three-car garage provides plenty of room for vehicles and storage. Throughout the home, engineered luxury vinyl plank flooring offers durability and style, with tile in the bathrooms and laundry room. Energy efficiency is a standout feature, with open-cell foam insulation, a zoned HVAC system, tankless water heater, low-E windows, and Clay Electric all contributing to impressively low utility bills. This four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath custom home is loaded with high-end finishes, thoughtfully designed spaces, and an unbeatable setting—offering luxury, comfort, and privacy in every detail. The Oakmont community offers a clubhouse, a resort-style swimming pool with lap lanes and a water park, a fitness center, tennis, pickleball, basketball and a playground.
