Price reduced! A built-tough, Mid-Century Modern home that would make Frank Lloyd Wright proud, as the floor to ceiling windows bring the outdoors in. This 3000+ sq foot home is cradled on 1.9 acres in the very heart of Gainesville. This original Ocala block home boasts 5 bedrooms (including the mother in law suite), 3 bathrooms, plus a flex/ media room. As you enter the home from the front door, you won't miss the rich hardwood floors throughout, nor the lovely beams above. The living and dining room spaces, with its floor to ceiling windows have breathtaking views of the backyard. The warm wood tones make it perfect for a cozy evening in or a fun night of entertaining. The kitchen has granite countertops, a chalkboard wall, breakfast nook, and lovely views into the yard. In the South wing, you'll find a large master bedroom with 3 closets and a vintage bathroom. The second bath on this side of the house is a vintage Mamie Pink Bathroom (named for Mamie Eisenhower). The second bedroom has a side deck where you can enjoy your morning coffee. And the 3rd bedroom is currently being used as an office. The North wing of the home includes a full Mother In-law Suite with kitchen, bath, and extra storage with separate entrance that could also work as the perfect home business space. It's large enough that you can easily make the mother in law suite into your own private master suite with 2 adjoining rooms. One of which can be used as a media room. It has a hidden drop down screen for a projector. This room leads you out to the pool area, originally a salt water pool. Perhaps you'll spend the afternoon lounging by the pool or on your new composite deck. Come evening, you'll want to sit in your oversized screen porch area to read, draw, or play games. Watch breathtaking views of nature from every window of the house as a myriad of birds flit about the yard, deer meander through, and bunnies hop about. To top it off, this home has a metal roof and new AC. This is quite possibly the ideal location: Enjoy this quiet slice of forest with its walking/ bike trails all around the neighborhood, while still being only 4 minutes from the newly renovated Publix Shopping Center, Gainesville Health & Fitness Gym (with it's 80,000 sq feet of state of the art equipment) and local restaurants. You are 5 minutes from Fresh Market and the Upper Crust Bakery, 6 minutes away from the University of FL and HCA NFL Hospital, plus only 12 minutes away from UF Health Shands Hospital. Even the newly developed Celebration Pointe and Sportsplex are only 13 minutes away. Call to schedule a tour today. You won't want to miss this one of a kind home.
