Property Description

Step back in time and fall in love with this classic mid-century gem! Nestled in the heart of Gainesville, this three-bedroom, two-bath charmer at 817 South Rusk Street is filled with warmth, character, and the kind of craftsmanship that's hard to find today. From the moment you pull into the wide driveway, you'll feel the pride of ownership and care that has kept this home in beautiful condition for decades.Inside, the spacious living area welcomes you with built-ins, a timeless brick fireplace, and the cozy glow of a home that has hosted countless family gatherings. The vintage kitchen is a show-stopper in its own right—gleaming original cabinetry with retro pulls, mint-green tile backsplash, and an antique gas range that feels like something straight out of a 1950s postcard. There's room for everyone at the kitchen table, where morning coffee and conversation come naturally. The bedrooms are comfortably sized, and the two full baths offer a blank canvas for your creative updates—or keep them classic for that authentic retro feel. A large backyard shaded by mature trees provides the perfect space for weekend barbecues, gardening, or simply relaxing under the Texas sky. This home offers the best of both worlds: solid mid-century construction with endless potential to make it your own. Whether you're a first-time buyer looking for character, a savvy investor searching for a standout property, or a dreamer ready to bring vintage style back to life—this one won't last long.Moments from downtown Gainesville, parks, schools, and restaurants, this is your opportunity to own a true piece of local history. Don't wait—homes with this much charm and potential disappear fast! Schedule your showing today and make 817 South Rusk Street your next chapter
