Custom-built by well-known Gainesville builder Fred Mason as a wedding gift for his daughter, this exceptional home is one of the first built in the sought-after Pine Hill Estates neighborhood and has remained in the builder’s family since its construction in 1960. Set on a private 1.15-acre lot, the two-story residence offers 3,148 square feet of heated and cooled living space with three bedrooms, two full baths, plus a separate studio in-law suite featuring its own entrance, with double closets, and full bath with a beautiful floor to ceiling bow window that looks out into the garden —ideal for guests or multigenerational living. A formal dining room located just off the foyer features picture-frame molding and offers both sliding doors to the foyer and a secondary entrance to the kitchen, creating an elegant yet functional layout for entertaining. The custom kitchen, designed by Stringfellow Supply Company, is equipped with a new double oven, built-in refrigerator, and gas stovetop range. The home includes both a large living room and a cozy sitting room, each with a gas fireplace and direct access to the expansive back deck. The living room also features built-in shelving, while detailed picture-frame molding and corner rosettes add classic architectural character throughout. Additional storage is conveniently located beneath the staircase. The fully irrigated and landscaped backyard is designed for outdoor enjoyment, complete with a spacious deck, built-in outdoor grill, and winding pathways that are beautifully illuminated at night. A powder room on the main level is already plumbed for a future full bath, offering flexibility for a new owner.
