About 4812 Ne 255th Drive
Classic Melrose farmhouse on approximately 2.4 acres beneath grand oaks—vintage character with the big-ticket updates done. A MUST SEE to appreciate all the original charm while having all the modern conveniences of today. The home was constructed from Long Leaf Pines that were cut and milled right on the property. You'll feel miles away as you look out over your beautifully manicured yard, enjoying all the giant oaks, magnolias, tall pines, fruit and cedar trees. Recent improvements include a new metal roof (May 2025), 200-amp electrical service/panel (Summer 2024), full pro paint inside & out (May 2024), Leaf Systems whole-house water treatment + Reverse Osmosis at the butler’s pantry (Mar 2022), sewer plumbing replaced in the crawl space (2022), and a 90-amp RV power run + water line by the shop area. Inside, comfortable living spaces flow to a country kitchen and dining area; 3 bedrooms / 2 baths and about 2,439 sq ft (buyer to verify). Wide porches and a shaded yard invite year-round indoor/outdoor living. Quiet, tree-lined road just minutes to historic Melrose and Melrose Bay with straightforward access to Gainesville/UF, Keystone Heights, and Palatka.
