Description

Privacy & comfort abound at this 5+ acre estate located just minutes from Downtown Ocala. The gated entryway leads to the circular driveway where this impressive residence awaits. The brick walkway leads past the manicured, mature landscape to the double solid mahogany front doors. Inside, the two-story foyer welcomes you with an antique Russian crystal chandelier (circa 1850-1890) and a total of 13 stained glass windows throughout the home. The main floor features a parlor and living room - both with fireplaces, an expansive kitchen with custom solid cherry cabinetry and built-in appliances, a breakfast nook on the corner of the home with a fireplace and serene views of the age-old oaks and outdoor living spaces beyond. There is also a sizable formal dining around the corner with adjacent butler's pantry and a Florida room with stunning wood antique bank doors. On the opposite side of the home there are two full bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, plus a study (optional 5th bedroom) with built-in solid cherry cabinetry and shelving, a private patio and adjacent full bathroom. The grand staircase leads to the second floor which offers a generous size primary suite with fireplace, private covered balcony and expansive ensuite bathroom and dressing room. There is also a very large bedroom with solid teak floors, ensuite bathroom and private covered balcony. A breezeway leads to the two-car garage while opposite of the motor court is an additional garage and climate controlled space that would be a fantastic studio, gym, dedicated office, etc. The grounds are equally as impressive as the home with mature hardwoods, shrubs, and azaleas; paver and brick walkways; and water fountains. A portion of the property is wooded and offers your own private, serene walking trails. Please enjoy the attached virtual tours, and schedule your private viewing to experience this incredible property in person before it's too late.
