River Run Plantation is the location of this beautiful home in one of High Springs’ most desirable subdivisions. Designed in a traditional style with a brick front, it has an elegant appearance and an inviting appeal. 1.2 acre lot has a spacious back yard with a wide variety of blooming shrubs and mature trees. Blackboard fencing with wire mesh creates a safe, secure place for pets. The perimeter fencing is of hedge sufficient to provide considerable privacy. This homesite is arguably among, if not the, prettiest in the neighborhood. The back screened porch leads onto a stone semi-circular patio. Inside is a split-plan bedroom arrangement with three bedrooms and a hall bath on the north side, and the master bedroom and bath are on the south side. In the center is the living room which features a gas fireplace and oversized windows offering an excellent view across the screened porch to the attrative landscaping in the back yard. The formal dining room with its cast-iron chandelier is open to the living room. Granite countertops of a warm, earthy tone complement the soft brown of the cabinetry to convey a “heart of the home” feel to the kitchen/breakfast nook area with its large bay windows offering a view to the back yard. Glass French doors lead from the breakfast noon onto the back porch. The master bath has separate sink areas, a glassed-in shower stall, a walk-in closet, and a jetted garden tub. The laundry room near the kitchen leads into the 2-car attached garage. The driveway is of concrete and leads to a double gate in the back yard fence. At the very back of the lot is a workshop shed with electricity and water. The interior is newly painted. River Run Plantation is a self-contained subdivision (minimum one acres lots) with one entry from Boat Ramp Road (old US Hwy 441), which ends in 1/2 mile at the Santa Fe River. This part of the river is ideal for canoes and kayaks, with very little motorized boating. Also 1/2 mile away is the Winn-Dixie supermarket and shopping plaza. The downtown business district is 1.7 miles from this home. Of considerable advantage is that High Springs is halfway between Gainesville and Lake City, each city offering a variety of shopping and entertainment amenities. To live here is to have quick, easy access to what is needed for daily living and, maybe best of all, convenience to enjoyment of the natural world in the area’s many parks along the rivers and springs.
