Just two miles from UF, located in the Westmoreland neighborhood, is an architect-designed and custom-built Mid-Century Ocala block home. Architect Don A Halperin was a distinguished professor and Director Emeritus of the School of Building Construction at the University of Florida. Professor Halperin designed this home which was built in 1962. The students in the School of Building Construction took on a project to add a 540 SF Screened porch to the back of the home. This "party porch" is an excellent addition with its post-beam construction and architectural features. The original owner resided in this home until 2014, and it was sold to the current owners in 2015. This Mid-Century Ranch, nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac, has beautiful and rare clamshell plaster ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace in the living room, and original hardwood flooring in the two guest bedrooms. The home has been very well maintained. The kitchen opens to the great room creating a cohesive living space. The kitchen was updated in 2015. The primary suite has carpet, and the remainder of the home has wood-look tile flooring. A floor plan is featured in the photo lineup to show you the spacious areas of the home and all the extra closets throughout the home. The primary suite has a walk-in closet with custom built-ins, a reading nook/desk area with the original built-in bookshelves, and a renovated en-suite bath. The hall bath has also been renovated and serves the two large guest bedrooms. All the windows have been replaced, the HVAC system was replaced in July 2015 with a 17 SEER dual-stage blower with a 4-inch filter, and GRu gas water heater. The roof was replaced in June 2015 with a 30-year 3 tab, architectural shingles. The oven/range and microwave are brand new. The dishwasher is 2 years old and the refrigerator is 4 years old. The home was repiped in 2021. The drain lines were not replaced. According to the seller, the drain lines were inspected in November 2024 and found to be in good order. In 2015, the electrical system was upgraded to include a new electric panel (inspected in 2024) and all the switches and outlets have been upgraded. Both bathrooms were gutted to the studs when they were updated. This fantastic home is located just minutes to the Fresh Market, Publix, restaurants, the Oaks Mall, North Florida HCA Hospital, UF, and quick access to I-75.
