Fantastic Architect designed Mid-Century Modern creekside home for sale in NW Gainesville's Florida Park neighborhood. This one-of-a-kind master piece was designed by Architect J. Don Alford and received an AIA Merit Award in 1962. Nestled amongst the trees on .61 acres, this home has 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a study and a bonus room. The post and beam construction allows for expansive views and an open floor plan. As you walk up the drive, you will immediately notice how the home was perfectly adapted to the site. The exposed Ocala Block and wood beams create a large, 2 car carport and covered front entry. From the front door you enter the landing of the stairs. Upstairs is the Great Room with double height wood ceiling, new ceramic tile, built-ins and updated lighting and ceiling fan. This room has a wood burning fireplace at one end and a cantilevered balcony at the other. Off the Great Room is a separate dining area with built-ins, storage closets and floor to ceiling windows. Around the corner is the open kitchen with updated maple wood cabinets, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, induction range and mobile center island. The kitchen is open to a flex space that could be a breakfast room or sitting area that has walls of windows and built-in cabinetry. Off this space is the office with a large built in desk and bookshelves. On the other side of the Great Room are two bedrooms and an updated bathroom. Downstairs is a very large bonus room with terrazzo floors and lots of possibilities. Off the bonus room are two bedrooms and a jack-and-jill bathroom with updated vanity and plumbing fixtures. Also off the bonus room are two large storage rooms, a laundry room and a wall of sliding glass doors that open to a patio. The home has a metal roof, 2017 insulated and tapered TPO roof, tankless water heater and an updated, multi-zone HVAC system. Florida Park is located just a few blocks north of the University of Florida and walking distance to area parks, trails, shops and restaurants. The University Park Neighborhood Association, which includes Florida Park, is a voluntary HOA with annual dues of $20. An unnamed tributary to Hogtown Creek runs along the eastern side of the property. Home includes an alarm system. Large, attached shed off the carport.
