This Gainesville historical home, The Laird House, constructed by M Parrish, Jr., was originally built and sold to two sisters who wished to live next door to each other.

Fast forward to 2017, this historic home was a subject of the notable City tour of homes featuring those built between 1881 to 1949, suggesting its significance to the City of Gainesville. Now is your opportunity to live in this historic home in the sought-after Duckpond neighborhood. Through the years, the home was updated with the creation of an alcove and the then-new kitchen, insulation, wiring, and a detached 2-car garage, which is currently configured for a one car and a large workshop. The kitchen was remodeled in 2006, with various appliances replaced since then.

A clean 4-point inspection for home owners insurance is available. Since the original homes family members lived side-by side, the house shares a driveway with the neighbor on the left. The shared driveway provides access to the detached 2-car garage, and to the side entry kitchen door, affording quick access to the house. The front of the home has a charming curbed step front entrance with iron front porch railings. Next to the front door is the Historic
