1479 Burns Drive

Just off Riverside and Thompson Bridge in the heart of Gainesville, this all-brick home puts you minutes from downtown, medical facilities, shopping, and dining. Inside, hardwood floors run the length of the main level - not a stitch of carpet - through an open, sunny floor plan. The large kitchen and butler's pantry make hosting easy, and a flexible room off the foyer, framed with custom built-ins, works as a formal dining room or office. The living room opens into a sunroom set up as an additional dining space and keeping room, a favorite spot for slow mornings. Anchoring the main level is the oversized primary suite, complete with a spacious bath and two custom closets. A bonus flex room suits well as a rec room, home gym, or teen hangout. Upstairs, a large open loft area doubles as a second living space alongside three bedrooms and two full baths. Step outside to the back deck and flat, fully fenced yard, where a creek runs along the rear of the property - great for the dogs to cool off, with a new outdoor shower for rinsing off after. Out front, the rocking-chair porch is a nice spot for morning coffee or evening sunsets, now with brand-new Anderson windows across the front exterior and a new front door arriving in September. Hardwood trees and creek access give the backyard privacy, while the flat, manicured front yard adds curb appeal. Storage is abundant with custom built-in cabinetry throughout, and the attached two-car garage rounds things out. It's a comfortable, well-located home in one of Gainesville's most convenient and sought-after spots.
