Property Details
Remarks
Tucked away on a quiet, oak-canopied dead-end street in the beloved Florida Park neighborhood, this one-of-a-kind mid-century home blends architectural history, intentional design, and modern sustainability into a truly rare offering. Originally built in 1949, the home has been thoughtfully reimagined over time with architect-designed additions that honor its original character while elevating it for today’s lifestyle. Inside, natural light pours through expansive windows into open living spaces with soaring 10-foot ceilings, where garden views, birdsong, and soft shifting light become part of everyday living. Every detail reflects a deep commitment to quality and wellness, from low- and no-VOC finishes to energy-efficient windows, doors, appliances, and smart home features that enhance comfort and efficiency. Major upgrades include a high-efficiency, multi-zone HVAC system with up to four zones, variable speed air supply, and smart controls, supported by all-new ductwork. Electrical systems have been fully modernized with underground service, upgraded load center, and extensive rewiring. Plumbing has been fully re-piped. A metal reflective roof adds durability and energy efficiency, paired with oversized gutters and downspouts for stormwater management. Roof orientation maximizes southern exposure for future solar potential. Designed for peace and privacy, the home features enhanced sound insulation between living and sleeping spaces, including double 5/8” drywall, Rockwool insulation or masonry block construction, and solid-core interior doors, creating exceptional quiet and comfort throughout. The flexible layout offers multiple private retreats, including a potential income-producing or in-law suite with separate entrance, porch, gated access, and dedicated parking. A spacious closet near utility lines offers future kitchenette potential for a fully self-contained unit. A detached writer’s cottage in the garden provides an inspiring studio or home office with peaceful views. Professionally designed, easy-care gardens surround the home, featuring drought-tolerant plantings, smart hydro-zoned irrigation, and a small zoysia turf area for play or relaxation. At the heart of the landscape, a serene lily pond with waterfall filters stormwater and creates a soothing focal point, bringing light and reflection into the home’s living spaces. Privacy and connection to nature were key priorities. A Japanese-inspired front fence and gate enhance curb appeal while screening the home, and a cantilevered driveway gate keeps vehicles discreetly out of view. Indoors and outdoors blend seamlessly, with framed garden vistas and a constant sense of light, air, and tranquility. Located in highly sought-after Florida Park, known for its oak canopy, quiet streets, and strong community feel, the home sits on a true dead-end street with minimal traffic and abundant wildlife. Just a short walk or ride (1.2miles) to the University of Florida, it offers rare convenience while feeling worlds away. This is more than a home, it is a carefully curated sanctuary designed for beauty, flexibility, and enduring livability.
