18844 NW 244th St, High Springs, FL 32643

There's something special about a home that has been part of a community for more than a century. Built in 1910, this historic railroad-style home in High Springs offers a wonderful combination of old Florida character, country atmosphere, and outdoor space that's hard to find in the heart of town. With 3 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, and approximately one-third of an acre, this is a property with personality, history, and room to make it your own. The long paved driveway leads to a classic wood-sided home surrounded by mature trees and established landscaping. One of its most appealing features is the wraparound porch, a place made for rocking chairs, morning coffee, and enjoying the slower pace of small town living. Inside, hardwood floors, decorative molding, and the home's traditional railroad-style layout reflect its early 1900s roots. Granite countertops, newer appliances, and a new metal roof bring practical updates to this historic home while preserving the character that makes it memorable. The outdoor space is just as appealing. The fully fenced yard offers room for gardening, pets, outdoor gatherings, or simply enjoying the grassy lawn beneath the trees. A detached garage, workshop, and additional storage shed provide valuable space for hobbies, projects, tools, and equipment. With a covered patio, open patio, deck, and wraparound porch, there are several ways to enjoy the outdoors throughout the year. For buyers who would like even more space, the adjacent lot is also available separately. See MLS #799652 for additional details. High Springs is one of North Florida's favorite small towns, known for its historic downtown, locally owned shops, restaurants, and easy access to some of the area's most beautiful natural attractions. The nearby Santa Fe River, Poe Springs Park, and Gilchrist Blue Springs State Park offer opportunities for swimming, paddling, and enjoying the outdoors. Gainesville and Alachua are also within reach for shopping, employment, healthcare, and other everyday conveniences. If you've been looking for a home with genuine history, useful outdoor space, and a connection to the character of High Springs, this one deserves a closer look.
