221 SE 7th St Apartment

Welcome to Grand Laurel Oak Estate, Gainesville’s largest private retreat blending historic elegance with modern luxury. This 7-bedroom, 7.5-bath mansion invites your group to feel at home in comfort and style. Perfect for groups, events, reunions, retreats, and more. Inside, 5,800 sq. ft. of living space means your group can spread out. There are three distinct living rooms, perfect for game nights, quiet reading, or catching up by the fireplace. A gourmet kitchen with high-end appliances awaits your chefs, and a grand dining room sets the stage for special meals together. Each of the 7 bedrooms is a private suite featuring its own full bathroom, premium linens, and a fireplace in five of the suites. Start your morning on one of the two wraparound porches, sipping coffee on a cozy swing as the neighborhood wakes up. In the evening, step out back to the expansive patio draped in twinkling party lights, an enchanting setting for dinners or celebrations. With seating for everyone under the stars, you can grill out, share stories, and make memories late into the night. Leave the cars in the free parking area and explore downtown Gainesville on foot, where restaurants, cafes, and shops are just a few blocks away. The University of Florida and stadium are a 5-minute drive away, making game days or campus visits a breeze. Despite being in the heart of town, the estate sits on a lush, fenced property, offering peace and privacy behind its oak-shaded gardens. Quiet hours begin at 10pm.
