Multiple Offer - Highest and Best by July 22nd at 5pm. Offered for the First Time in Over 70 Years — Historic Estate Across from Ben Hill Griffin Stadium and the University of Florida. 16 & 18 NW 20th Terrace FOR SALE! (Main House with detached 2BR Guest House)) Some homes are measured in square feet. Others are measured in history. This incredible opportunity to own both won't last long. This remarkable estate has been lovingly cared for by the same family since 1948 and occupies one of the most coveted locations in Gainesville. The home was purchased by David and Patricia Fuller, whose family became woven into the fabric of University of Florida Athletics. David Fuller served as the University's legendary head baseball coach from 1948 through 1976, becoming the winningest baseball coach in program history. He also served for twenty-nine seasons as an assistant football coach and was inducted into the University of Florida Athletic Hall of Fame. Beyond its remarkable location, the property reflects decades of authentic craftsmanship and family tradition. The distinctive brick walls surrounding the front and rear courtyards were hand-laid by Patricia Fuller and her sons using original bricks reclaimed from renovations to Ben Hill Griffin Stadium—creating a one-of-a-kind connection to Gainesville's athletic heritage. The beautifully remodeled main residence offers four spacious bedrooms and three fully renovated bathrooms. The stunning chef's kitchen was created to be more open and inviting for hosting guests on game day. The house has been completely rewired and re-plumbed, offering you peace of mind for years to come. Outside, the repainted shaker siding helps the house to keep it's classic appearance. This is a perfect combination of enjoying modern conveniences while sticking to a timeless aesthetic. Complementing the main home is a detached two-story guest residence featuring two bedrooms, one full bath, a full kitchen, living area, and private laundry. Whether used for guests, multi-generational living, short or long-term rental opportunities, the guest residence provides exceptional flexibility and income potential. As Gainesville gathers each fall to watch the Gators just across the street, this home stands as a reminder of the city's traditions, memories, and enduring spirit. Properties with this combination of location, history, architectural character, and investment potential rarely become available. This is more than a home—it is an opportunity to become the next steward of one of Gainesville's truly iconic addresses.
