Description
Fully Rebuilt Architectural Estate on Half Acre - Private Pool + no-expense-spared private estate. Rare opportunity to own this truly one-of-a-kind MCM residence in historic Florida Park. Featured in Gainesville Modern's Annual MCM Home Tour, the owner, a famed designer that has been featured on the cover of Architectural Digest and in Dwell and other national design publications, has completely renovated this iconic Gainesville home believed to be originally designed by David Reaves. The conditioned space was expanded, the ceilings were raised, a pool and bathroom were added, a new TPO roof system was put on, steel-wrapped 4' cantilevered overhands were added, a gas line was run for the built-in gas burners and tankless water heater, Tadelakt (a superior lime-based plaster) was washed on the walls, all new electrical and plumbing and much more. The stairs in the tiled foyer lead to a large chef's kitchen where the large concrete island takes center stage with built in gas burners and outlets. Wrap-around open shelving offers a great place to display your prized glassware and the counter overhang allow for bar stool seating. A soaring ceiling in the oversized great room and a wall flanked with retractable slider glass doors overlooking the wood deck and lap pool bring the outdoors in and is ideal for entertaining in a park-like setting. This room almost doubled in size when the ceiling was raised 4 feet and the adjoining patio was incorporated into the living area, making one spacious and airy room. An expanse of south-facing picture windows facing the front floods the great room with natural light and views of the beautiful trees. A wood burning fireplace and adjoining wide built-in platform-bench seating creates a cozy focal point for the room. The large concrete free standing custom juice wet bar with poured marble facade and refrigerator connects the dining area to the kitchen. A bank of retractable sliders brings the outdoors in! A large primary bedroom sits on the east side of the house and its luxury bathroom hosts a double steel vanity, rain shower and tub. Another bedroom with exposed wood beams, an outdoor courtyard full bathroom shares a hall with the primary bedroom. Two other bedrooms are on an opposite side of the house (note one of these bedrooms has had a wall removed and has been converted to a public room ideal for a home office, playroom or formal dining room). Owner is happy to add wall back if desired. Other bedroom has exterior entrance through a side screened porch with raised planters/garden bed that leads to the driveway. Wood flooring throughout main level of home. A full basement with a mini-split and concrete flooring sits below the main level offering additional living space and houses the laundry center. It has both interior and exterior entrances and windows streaming in natural light. A newly-poured concrete pool is nestled around a tropical sandy beach and palms. Privacy abounds as property has mature landscaping, a custom pedestrian gate, a custom powder-coated steel driveway gate and is fully fenced. Don't miss this opportunity to own this masterpiece.
