Property Description

Perched amongst the trees is a magical space offering timeless modern design and a harmonious connection to nature. Gaineswood is one of Gainesville's best-kept secrets. Built in 1972 and designed by Miami Architects Howard Melton and Tom Russel, the Mid-Century Modern Towers each have 6 floors, two elevators per tower, 6 park-like acres and one of the most gorgeous settings for a clubhouse in Gainesville. Full-time on-site management offers carefree living with complete exterior maintenance, building insurance, grounds maintenance, water and sewer and twice-a-week trash service. The amenities include a playground, community pool, tennis court and large clubhouse. The clubhouse has a library/billiards room, meeting room, dining area with a kitchen, fitness room, lockers, sauna and wet room. There are also two spaces reserved for residents to use as an art studio and storage. This 4-bedroom, two-bathroom home is located on the second floor and has two balconies overlooking the gardens and the nearby Hogtown Creek and Glen Springs tributary. From the foyer you enter the bright and open floor plan. The home has parquet oak flooring in the Great Room and open dining area. Off the Great Room is the first balcony with nearly 100 feet of outdoor space. To the right of the foyer and off the dining area is the updated kitchen with white cabinets and terrazzo-style quartz countertops. The kitchen has ample storage, an updated tile backsplash and updated lighting. Off the Great Room is a flex room that was the 4th bedroom, but is currently used as a study. Down the main hall is the former half-bathroom that has been converted into a laundry room with a washer and dryer. Next to the laundry is the guest bathroom with a large double-sink vanity, ample storage and a private bathroom and tub/shower. There are two guest bedrooms. At the end of the hall is the large Primary Suite. This room has a second, private balcony. There is a large, double-sink vanity, walk-in closet and a separate walk-in shower and water closet. The home has been well maintained and updates include a new water heater (2018), new HVAC (2022), and new windows throughout. Milestone and Capital Reserve Studies are complete and available for review. Gaineswood is located just two miles north of the University of Florida, 15 minutes to downtown Gainesville and central to area shops and restaurants. Walk next door to the Alfred A. Ring park with hiking trails along the creek. Gaineswood is gated and offers open parking or optional garages for purchase separately. This truly is a beautiful setting. Come for the architecture and stay for the peace and quiet.
