Spectacular 6 BR, 5 ½ bath, pool home with wraparound porch on 2 acres in desirable Ivy Park. Originally built in 1991, there was a quarter of a million dollar addition / renovation in 2007. This unique property backs up to 657 acres of a planned donation to UF of conservation land that will ensure many years of outstanding views. There are two master suites, one with a private second floor balcony overlooking the pool and the conservation land, three closets (two walk-in) and a jacuzzi tub. You need to stand on this balcony to really appreciate it! The second has a brick wood burning fireplace, sitting area, large walk-in closet, ADA friendly bathroom, wet bar with refrigerator, and French doors opening to a private deck. A 568 sq ft studio apartment with large wet bar / refrigerator sits atop a 3 car garage (with storage and small workshop). This apartment would be ideal for an expansive home office, college student, or sixth bedroom as there are inside and outside entrances along with a private balcony. In the main house, a large kitchen with generous counter space, modern appliances and ample storage connects directly to a separate dining room and a breakfast nook. The main living area is off the kitchen and has a brick wood burning fireplace, large windows with a view of the pool, and French doors opening to the porch. Three other bedrooms are well sized, with one having a walk-in closet. The large laundry room includes a generous folding table and lots of storage, and connects to a large walk-in pantry. A 404 sq ft media room / game room / play room will ensure many hours of entertainment. Above the media room is 200 sq ft of foam insulated, heated and cooled attic storage. There is ample storage throughout the house. Outside, there is 90 plus feet of covered porch. The large pool (18 ft x 36 ft) has been resurfaced and includes 1200 sq ft of recently resurfaced pool deck. A small greenhouse / garden work area is attached. The back yard is fenced and is wide open to the sky (there is even a concrete telescope pad in the very back!). The well produces excellent water with no treatments needed. Also included is a generator hook-up to the whole house and an automatic sprinkler system for beds and pool area.
