Call for Offers Due Friday, May 23 at 5:00 PM (Sealed Bids)

For the first time in over a century, the largest single parcel on Gainesville’s Historic Green Street is being offered for sale. 424 Green Street is a legacy property—originally built in 1907 by John Hosch and held in the same family ever since. As the oldest privately owned property on Green Street, this 1.36± acre site sits at the intersection of history, prominence, and opportunity.

Situated on a lot offering triple frontage—approximately 110 feet on Green Street, 105 feet on Boulevard NE, and 50 feet on Green Street Place—this is a one-of-a-kind offering with unmatched visibility and scale in Gainesville’s most recognizable corridor. The site is zoned R-O, O-I, and R-II, allowing for a wide range of future uses including office, retail, residential, or development.

The property includes a 3,656± SF historic residence/office, a 255± SF cabin with a striking mica stone chimney and arched batten style door, a historic two-bay garage, and a barn that dates back to 1898. The main structure was converted for office use in the 1990s and features period architecture with Neoclassical Revival influences, including a wraparound verandah porch, dual staircases, and custom millwork. Construction details tie directly to the former Gainesville First United Methodist Church, further connecting this site to the city’s architectural legacy.

Located within the Green Street Historic District — a half-mile stretch listed on the National Register of Historic Places — 424 Green Street is surrounded by some of Gainesville’s most notable 19th and 20th-century homes and businesses. The property offers excellent visibility and accessibility with approximately 110 feet of frontage on Green Street, one of Gainesville’s primary commercial corridors.

The site benefits from proximity to downtown Gainesville, nearby professional offices, dining, retail, and new development projects that continue to enhance the area’s vibrancy. Green Street serves as a gateway into the city, making this location ideal for a residential, office, or boutique commercial user seeking a historic setting with modern convenience.
