About this home
A Gainesville Landmark — Timeless Craftsmanship, Downtown Location, and Resort-Style Living. Built in 1948, this iconic Gainesville residence stands proudly at the corner of Dixon Drive and Bradford Street on 1.5 beautifully landscaped acres—just four blocks from the downtown square. Its enduring brick construction reflects the remarkable craftsmanship of its era, with portions of the home resting on solid concrete pilings that speak to its “Sandy Flats” heritage.
Inside, character and substance meet modern livability. The main level offers an inviting owner’s suite plus an additional bedroom or office suite, both designed for comfort and flexibility. The living plan has a graceful flow opening into generous living spaces where natural light and timeless materials blend seamlessly.
The terrace level extends the home’s charm with cork-under-LVP floors, masonry walls, a secondary kitchen, huge recreation room, full bedroom or office, and half bath—ideal for guests or multi-generational living. A detached brick two-car garage adds exceptional function with attic storage above and a full storage room below. Outdoors, the property transforms into a private retreat with a sparkling saltwater pool, diving board and slide, shuffleboard court, and an open-air pool house featuring two full baths, living areas, and a third kitchen and bar—perfect for entertaining on a grand or intimate scale. An additional half-acre portion of the property fronts Bradford Street, offering potential for a guest home, future expansion, or a separate downtown build opportunity. Moments from Gainesville’s restaurants, shops, and weekly events—plus Brenau University, historic Green Street, and Lake Lanier—this home embodies the grace and strength of a bygone era while sitting at the very heart of where Gainesville is headed next. Showings begin the week of December 8th.
