Description
Come for the architecture and stay for the views in this stunning example of Mid-Century Modern Architecture in Gainesville's Buckingham West neighborhood. Lakefront, Ocala block 6 bedroom, 3 full bathroom and 2 half bathroom home built in 1968 on 1.29 acres. Attributed to Architects Jack Moore and Lester May, the post and beam construction allows for the lake to be the star as it seamlessly incorporates the outside in. High ceilings, open floor plan and graciously sized rooms are filled with stunning views and lots of natural light. Many updates include main roof in 2022, updated electrical and new HVAC 2022. The large front yard has a circular driveway and oversized porte cochere with electrical vehicle charging station. Off the covered front entry, with double doors, is the foyer, half bathroom and open stairway to the walk-out finished basement. To the right is the large kitchen with pantry, breakfast bar, two sinks, stainless steel appliances and center island. Off the kitchen is the dining area with built-in shelves, wood ceiling and sliding glass doors overlooking the lake. To the left of the dining area is the large Great Room with a wall of windows. There are two guest bedrooms and bathroom. At the end of the hall is the large en-suite Primary Bedroom. The Primary bathroom has two vanities, separate shower and jetted tub. The bedroom has separate mini-split, two closets with one large walk-in and sliding glass doors to the covered porch which runs the length of the house. The entire upstairs has newer laminate floors, wood ceilings, beams and clerestory windows. Downstairs has an open plan with loads of possibilities including a kitchenette that could be converted into an in-law suite, large flex space with vintage vinyl tile and doors that open to the downstairs patio. To the left of the stairs are two bedrooms and a Jack-and-Jill bathroom. To the right is another bedroom, laundry room, utility room, workshop, half bathroom and multiple storage rooms. Off the downstairs patio is a fenced dog run and to the left a side garden sanctuary. To the right is an outdoor storage room with steps leading up to the covered workshop just off the kitchen. The rear yard has a pergola that is perfect for entertaining. The low maintenance yard meanders down to the private, spring fed lake and boat dock. Truly a rare find, this home is centrally located just 5 miles to the University of Florida, 2 miles to NFRMC and a short drive to area shops and restaurants. Zoned for Terwilliger Elementary., Kanapaha Middle and Buchholz High School. No HOA. Survey available. City water. Two septic systems.
