3636 NW 49th Drive

There is a specific rhythm to life inside an AR Homes masterpiece, where the boundaries between nature and architecture simply melt away. This contemporary, West Indies-inspired 3,124 sq ft residence is defined by exceptional sustainability and thoughtful customizations, featuring fully paid-off solar panels, a 3-car garage with app-controlled openers, and a 10,000-gallon saltwater swimming pool. The journey begins at the curb as a stately paver drive leads you past manicured landscaping toward an entrance marked by a central architectural tower, clerestory windows, and tall double entry doors. Upon entering the foyer, you are greeted by soaring 12-foot recessed ceilings and a vista that pulls your gaze through the heart of the property to the outdoor oasis. The Great Room serves as the centerpiece of this Avila floor plan, featuring an electric fireplace set against a gray stone accent wall. This space flows into a chef’s eat-in kitchen anchored by quartz countertops, premium appliances including double ovens, a custom range hood, and a wine fridge. This gourmet space is further enhanced by a walk-in pantry, solid wood soft-close cabinetry, and a built-in china cabinet. The 3-way split layout provides 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, featuring 8-foot doors throughout, dimmable lighting, and a primary suite sanctuary with double shower heads and custom closet shelving. Further distinguishing this build, the structure utilizes 2x6 exterior walls and the advanced ZIP System sheathing to ensure a whisper-quiet interior. Sliding glass doors merge the indoor living space with the expansive covered lanai and pool, creating a seamless setting for year-round entertaining. Ideally situated in the heart of Gainesville, this home offers unparalleled convenience just minutes from the University of Florida, Shands, and I-75, with premier shopping and dining at Butler Plaza and Celebration Pointe nearby. With an HOA that provides meticulous front-yard maintenance and a private community well for irrigation, this is a definitive statement in low-maintenance Florida luxury.
