Single Family Detached Gainesville

Tucked into the trees on 1.62 acres in The Hammock, this architecturally designed residence offers a rare combination of privacy, natural beauty, and thoughtful design, with sweeping views across a private pond and the surrounding woods. Originally built by Mike Warring and extensively updated in recent years, the home feels distinctly connected to its setting, with expansive windows, multiple balconies and decks, and water views from nearly every living space.

New ultra-modern front doors open to a dramatic sunken living room, where soaring windows frame the pond beyond and immediately establish the home’s sense of place. Recently refinished hardwood floors and matching beams carry throughout the main living areas, while a wood-burning fireplace adds warmth to the otherwise clean, architectural space.

To the right, the completely renovated kitchen features sage green cabinetry, quartz countertops, a marble backsplash, and JennAir and KitchenAid appliances. An oversized working island connects the kitchen to the dining area and a second living space, all overlooking the water and opening onto an expansive rear deck. Just beyond, a wet bar with wine refrigerator and an updated powder bath make the space equally well suited for entertaining or quiet evenings at home.

The opposite side of the main level offers three generously sized guest bedrooms and a beautifully renovated bathroom with a dual-sink vanity. A spiral staircase leads to an unexpected second-floor bonus suite with its own full bathroom, sleeping alcove, and private balcony—an ideal space for guests, a studio, or a secluded retreat.

Up the central staircase, the entire upper wing is dedicated to the primary suite. Completely private from the rest of the home, it includes its own wood-burning fireplace, private balcony overlooking the pond, an oversized walk-in closet, spacious updated bathroom, and a separate office or flex room.

Outside, extensive landscaping complements the wooded setting without competing with it. Multiple decks and balconies create a constant connection to the water, while the 1.62-acre homesite provides remarkable privacy within one of Northwest Gainesville’s most established neighborhoods. With San Felasco Hammock Preserve State Park just beyond the neighborhood, the setting feels removed from the city while remaining convenient to shopping, dining, mountain biking, running trails, and everything else northwest Gainesville has to offer.

Architectural, private, and exceptionally peaceful, this is a home defined as much by its setting as its design- one that feels entirely different from the moment you step through the front door
