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.
