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, 7 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 a 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 in each tower. This 2 bedroom, 1.5 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 flooring has been updated in the foyer, kitchen, hall and bathrooms. To the left is the galley kitchen with updated lighting, appliances, lots of cabinets for storage and ample counter space for preparing meals and entertaining friends. Just like in Europe, the washer and dryer are at the end of the kitchen. There is also a breakfast bar that can double as a pass through to the dining area. A saloon style door opens to the dining area with ample room for a large dining table and credenza or hutch. The dining area is open to the Great Room with full length windows and a set of sliding doors that opens to the first balcony. There is nearly 100 square feet of covered outdoor space. Down the main hall is the guest bedroom and half bathroom. The bathroom has a large vanity with lots of storage space. At the end of the hall is the primary suit. This large room includes a second private balcony, a large walk-in closet and and an additional closet unique to this unit. The ensuite bathroom has been updated with new granite counter tops, new lighting, tile flooring and custom walk-in shower. There is also a linen closet. This home has been lovingly maintained. HVAC is 2009. 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.
