Upon entering through the custom wood door you will feel like you've been transported from a single family home in the suburbs to an ultra-luxury highrise. You'll immediately be greeted by a room like no other. Taking open concept living to another level, the room boasts vaulted ceilings with tongue and groove detail; multiple seating, dining and entertaining areas; and a gargantuan top-of-the-line kitchen with Viking and Thermador appliances, exquisite granite counters and backsplash, two dishwashers, an island nearly the length of the great room, a bar area with wine fridge, and custom cabinetry with a cabinet ladder and over/under-cabinet lighting for functionality and beauty. A bank of windows and sliding doors along the back let the outdoors in, allowing the great room to pour into the yard, which includes mature landscaping, hotel-grade artificial turf, a hot tub, and a hardscaped zen garden. If you prefer to keep it cozy inside, then all you need to do is touch a button to close the motorized Levolor shades. Speaking of cozy, just off the great room is the primary suite, with its own door leading out to the gardens. The 5-star hotel-like ensuite bath and adjoining closet that resembles a high-end boutique round out the retreat. On the opposite side of the home down a long hall is another beautifully renovated bath and a room that can serve as a quiet office space or secondary bedroom. This home's central location makes it convenient to UF and Shands, Alachua's Progress Park, the Sid Martin Biotech Incubator, and some of the city's best dining and specialty shops. Upgrades include: 2018 full interior renovation including the addition of a structural beam to open the living spaces, wood-like tile throughout except in the primary closet, whole-house generator, two tankless water heaters, extra foam insulation, instant hot water in kitchen, water softener, interior and exterior speakers, and dog run. With too many upgrades to list, this unique home is a must-see, and once you do it will also be a must-have!
