OWNER’S FINANCING AVAILABLE. A rare opportunity on MOON LAKE in the heart of Gainesville. A PRIVATE DRIVE leads to this 5,200+ sq ft home, tucked away on more than 1.3 acres for a level of privacy that is hard to find this close to town. A boardwalk winds through mature cypress and oaks to your PRIVATE DOCK on Moon Lake. The centerpiece is a large glass-enclosed Florida room overlooking the lake, with room for parties and gatherings and nature views like no other. A separate screened porch is made for morning coffee or quiet evenings listening to the sounds of nature. Inside, high ceilings, oversized Custom windows and hardwood floors fill the main living areas with natural light, anchored by a stone fireplace. The kitchen offers granite counters, a breakfast nook and plenty of space to entertain, plus a separate butler’s kitchen for extra prep and storage. The large primary suite opens directly to the Florida room and features a soaking tub. Five bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bath: three downstairs, one of which works well as an in-law suite, and two upstairs. Also a powder bath for guests, a private office, an upstairs loft, a small study nook, and extra storage with a third fridge. A three-car detached garage completes the home. A NEWER TILE ROOF adds longevity and peace of mind. Location is key: minutes to HCA Florida North Florida Hospital, UF, The Oaks Mall and Thornebrook Village, and less than 8 miles to Shands.
