Locals know this beautiful Queen Anne house as the Blanding House. Built in 1899 by Horatio Davis, a judge and twice mayor, Lt. General Albert Blanding lived in this home from 1900 – 1910, retaining its ownership until 1958. Nestled in the charming Duckpond neighborhood, this historic property blends timeless character with spacious living just minutes from downtown. Situated on a corner, .16-acre lot, the Blanding House offers approximately 2,854 sq. feet of living space. Victorian porches are one of a kind, aren’t they? Featuring intricate gingerbread trim, this iconic front porch serves as your social hub for entertaining and for comfortable front porch seating, perfect greeting your neighbors and friends. Inside, the residence is currently configured as a duplex, offering two separate living spaces that provide flexibility for a variety of uses. The property features three bedrooms, two kitchens, two bathrooms, and dual staircases. Each floor offers a comfortable living space ideal for tenants, guests, or an owner-occupant seeking additional rental income, featuring its own fully functioning kitchen, living space, bedroom(s), bathroom, and 100-amp service panel. Downstairs is the master bedroom and bath, a laundry room which houses a stacked washer/dryer and the two water heaters that service the home. In addition, there are two large living spaces, and access to the front and south-side porch. When used as a duplex, the front living space, with its sliding pocket door, was often used as an additional bedroom. Upstairs are two bed-sitting rooms, each easily accommodating a large bed, desk, couch and several chairs; a bathroom, screened enclosed and open porches, and the attic access. UPDATES include: Dec 2025 water heaters (2), beautifully finished heart pine floors, March 2026 roof, and fire-resistant drywall on the downstairs ceiling. Designed for easy conversion from its current duplex layout to a traditional residential home, one or two downstairs walls can be removed, and the rear staircase re-opened for upstairs/downstairs access. This corner lot provides mature surroundings and outdoor potential—perfect for relaxing, gardening, or enjoying Gainesville’s warm climate. Located just minutes from downtown Gainesville, parks, restaurants, and the University of Florida, the property offers a rare combination of historic character, income potential, generous space, and a prime location. Whether used as a primary residence, income-producing duplex, or future investment opportunity, this unique Duckpond property offers exceptional potential in one of Gainesville’s most desirable historic neighborhoods. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Seller has a recent survey, which requires an amended tax parcel and legal description for the house on its single lot. Buyer has a first right of refusal for the north 50 feet as a separate lot, or can purchase the home on both lots – see GC538386.
