Welcome home to Shady Lane - a light and bright fully-renovated cottage in the historic Duckpond neighborhood! With limited inventory, strong buyer demand, and steady appreciation expected through 2026, owning in Duckpond isn’t just buying a home — it’s investing in one of Gainesville’s most beloved and resilient neighborhoods. Located on a unique flag-shaped lot and tucked behind another home, this home was gifted the unique moniker of Shady Lane by the current owners. The street front home at 113 NE 7th Street is also currently listed. If purchased together, these two homes would be ideal for multi-generational living or to have one as an income-generating property while living in the other. Or, just call Shady Lane your home! The open floor plan for the main living spaces is warm and inviting with special features like the butcher block kitchen island with plenty of seating, the magnificent mantel surrounding the fireplace and solid wood beams. Stylish and modern touches complement the classic original finishes. The primary bedroom features a walk-in shower with subway tile and a heated tile floor. The other two bedrooms share a fully-renovated bathroom. Refinished wood floors and historic windows throughout. Completely updated plumbing, electrical, HVAC and a durable METAL roof. This paradise is in a prime location with amazing restaurants, public parks, a farmer's market and the University of Florida just a short bike ride away.
