Virtually Staged. Nestled beneath a canopy of mature oaks in the sought-after Haile Plantation area, this timeless Southern Living-style estate blends classic architecture with elegant everyday living. Situated on an expansive 2/3-acre beautifully landscaped homesite in Albury Round, this custom residence offers exceptional curb appeal with its large front porch, stately columns, and welcoming brick staircase entry. Spanning 3,294 heated and cooled square feet, the thoughtfully designed floor plan features 4 bedrooms, 4 baths, great room, formal dining, a private study, and a versatile bonus room. Enter through the expansive foyer, flanked by a formal banquet-sized dining room adorned with a tray ceiling, wainscoting, and crown molding, and a handsome study featuring extensive custom built-ins, crown molding, and ample space for both work and relaxation. The heart of the home is the dramatic great room, highlighted by soaring two-story ceilings, gleaming wood floors, an electric fireplace framed by custom millwork and mantel, and an impressive Restoration Hardware chandelier. French doors open to the newly refurbished deck, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living. The kitchen features white cabinetry, a large center island with a 5-burner gas cooktop, double ovens, microwave, newer refrigerator and dishwasher, and opens to a spacious breakfast area with picturesque views of the park-like backyard and deck access. The downstairs primary suite is a private retreat, filled with natural light from numerous plantation-shuttered windows and featuring french doors to the deck. The oversized custom walk-in closet offers abundant built-in storage and drawer space. The primary bath includes dual vanities, a jetted tub, large walk-in shower, and private water closet. A full guest bath conveniently serves the main level. Upstairs, three generously sized bedrooms each offer walk-in closets. One bedroom enjoys a private en-suite bath and convenient laundry chute, while two additional bedrooms share a spacious adjoining bath. Completing the upper level is a bonus/media room featuring wood floors, an electric fireplace, floor-to-ceiling shelving, multiple storage closets, and a large screen television, creating the perfect space for movie nights, gaming, or relaxing with family and friends. Designed for entertaining and enjoying Florida’s natural beauty, the expansive deck overlooks the lush, park-like grounds and connects to a charming courtyard area and winding walkway leading to a large brick entertaining terrace at the rear of the property. Additional features include an inside laundry room and an oversized two-and-a-half-car garage with a dedicated golf cart bay. Recent updates provide peace of mind and include a new 2025 roof, two 2018 HVAC systems, and a newer tankless water heater. Ideally positioned near Hawkstone Country Club with premier golf, as well as two Haile Villages with dining and boutique shopping. Located near top-rated schools, the University of Florida, and UF Health, this is a rare opportunity to own a signature residence that embodies the very best of classic southern living in Gainesville.
