Under contract-accepting backup offers. Located just two miles from UF in the desirable Westmoreland neighborhood, this architect-designed Mid-Century Ocala block home offers a blend of history and modern updates. Nestled on a serene cul-de-sac, this Mid-Century Ranch boasts rare clamshell plaster ceilings, a cozy wood-burning fireplace, and original hardwood flooring in the guest bedrooms with wood-look tile flooring throughout. Meticulously maintained, the home features a 2015 updated kitchen that seamlessly connects to the great room, enhancing its spacious feel. The primary suite offers plush carpeting and ample closet space, including custom-built-ins in the walk-in closet and original built-in bookshelves in the reading nook/desk area. Recent upgrades include new windows, a high-efficiency HVAC system installed in 2015, a GRu gas water heater, and a 30-year architectural shingle roof replacement in the same year. The kitchen appliances are newly replaced, with a brand-new oven/range and microwave, a two-year-old dishwasher, and a four-year-old refrigerator. The home was repiped in 2021, and the electrical system was upgraded in 2015, including a new electric panel, switches, and outlets, all inspected in 2024 for peace of mind. Originally designed by Professor Don A Halperin, Director Emeritus of UF's School of Building Construction, this 1962 home has been meticulously maintained. Additionally, students from the School of Building Construction added a 540 SF screened porch, known affectionately as the "party porch," featuring post-beam construction and unique architectural details. Conveniently located minutes away from The Fresh Market, Publix, restaurants, the Oaks Mall, North Florida HCA Hospital, UF, and with quick access to I-75, this home offers both comfort and accessibility in a prime Gainesville location.
