About this home
Searching for a carefree home in the peaceful Melrose area? This beautifully refurbished 2-bedroom, 2-bath concrete block home sits on 2 mostly cleared acres with nearly every major update already completed for worry-free living. Recent improvements include a new HVAC system, new roof on the home (installed in late 2023), a months-old roof on the detached two-story Tudor-style garage, new appliances, new well pump, new water heater, new 110-volt wiring throughout both levels of the detached garage, new porcelain tile and flooring throughout the home, and updated plumbing fixtures. The septic system was pumped and inspected at the end of 2023, and a spacious concrete patio provides the perfect space for outdoor entertaining. The detached Tudor-style garage offers endless possibilities as a she shed, home office, workshop, or guest space, while the attached garage could potentially be converted into a third bedroom. A professionally installed 4-foot retaining wall spanning approximately 50 yards elevates the home's grade for added peace of mind regarding wetlands and insurance. The seasonal Lake at the rear of the property varies with annual rainfall, adding a natural backdrop to the property. A private driveway leads to the home and only two quiet neighbors, with convenient curbside garbage pickup. Survey available upon request. Located just about 20 miles from Gainesville and 25 miles from Palatka with minimal traffic, you'll enjoy the charm of historic Melrose, featuring local shops, boutiques, restaurants, a farmers market, ACE Hardware, and a Winn-Dixie just a couple of miles away. This move-in-ready property combines country tranquility with modern updates and small-town convenience.
