Rare lakefront home with pool, privacy, and nearly 4,000 sq ft--just seconds from Newberry Road. Four bedrooms open directly to the pool deck for seamless indoor-outdoor living.

Tucked beneath a canopy of mature trees and overlooking a peaceful stretch of water, this one-of-a-kind property is a rare combination of privacy, space, and character--just minutes from the heart of Gainesville.

Set on a 0.96 acre tree-lined lot on the coveted Clear Lake, this 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath home blends timeless mid-century charm with thoughtful modern updates. Inside, natural light pours through expansive windows, highlighting beautifully restored original wood and terrazzo floors that add warmth and authenticity throughout the home. The layout is both open and flexible, with generous living spaces designed for everyday comfort and effortless entertaining.

The kitchen has been tastefully updated with clean, modern finishes, while multiple fully renovated bathrooms bring a fresh, elevated feel to the home. Major system upgrades--including a brand new roof and septic system--provide peace of mind for years to come.

Designed with both functionality and lifestyle in mind, four of the five bedrooms have direct access to the back porch, creating a seamless connection to the pool area--great for easy indoor-outdoor living without disrupting the rest of the home. A second downstairs kitchen adds flexibility for guests, entertaining, or multi-generational living, while a spacious laundry room with a second-floor laundry chute adds everyday convenience.

Step outside and experience what truly sets this property apart. A large pool and expansive deck create the ultimate outdoor living space, great for hosting or unwinding in complete privacy. Beyond the backyard, serene water views and lush greenery give a sense of escape that is increasingly hard to find--yet this is one of only two homes on Clear Lake located just seconds from Newberry Road.

With nearly 4,000 square feet of living space, a rare lot size, and a setting that feels worlds away while still being incredibly convenient, this is more than just a home--it's a lifestyle.

**Please note, due to the lack of rain in 2025, Clear Lake is currently dry. This is a rare occurrence as the lake has not been dry since 2013. The water will return with ample rain that Gainesville typically gets in the spring and summer**
