Seller is now offering a $20,000 concession of the buyer's choice with an acceptable offer! Welcome to a one-of-a-kind estate that embodies Southern elegance and timeless design. This custom-built one-owner home, inspired by the Southern low-country plantation style, was crafted by Tommy Waters Custom Homes, known for unparalleled craftsmanship and attention to detail. Featured in Gainesville Magazine 2005 and Home Magazine 2013, its architectural brilliance is unmistakable. Two magnolia trees frame the grand entrance, accentuated by a Coquina exterior. The front porch spans the width of the home, with a cypress tongue-and-groove ceiling, brick flooring, and elegant columns. Inside, a grand staircase and solid oak flooring complement the home's warm, welcoming atmosphere. The expansive living room features a soaring 26-foot-high cypress ceiling, built-in cabinetry, and a wood-burning fireplace with a custom mantel and granite hearth. French doors across the rear of the home open to the screened porch, blending indoor and outdoor living. The open layout flows into the chef's kitchen, a culinary haven equipped with high-end appliances, including a Subzero fridge/freezer, newer Thermador double convection ovens, Bosch dishwasher, Wolf gas cooktop, and Thermador warming drawer. Matte-finished hammered granite countertops, an island with a stainless steel prep sink, and a double-basin stainless steel sink offer beauty and functionality. The spacious butler's pantry with granite countertops and a large walk-in pantry provides ample storage. Enjoy morning coffee in the charming breakfast nook with brick flooring, which opens into the family room, perfect for casual gatherings. The formal dining room, with custom wainscoting, is situated off the entry and connects to the kitchen via the butler's pantry. The main-level primary suite is a true retreat, featuring a gas log fireplace with a custom mantel and marble hearth, plus a sunroom with brick flooring and pull-down sunshades, offering views of the surrounding grounds. The en-suite bath features an oversized soaking tub beneath an arched ceiling and a window overlooking a private, walled garden. The large walk-in closet with built-ins completes the suite. Off the entry, the office features built-in cabinetry and an adjacent full bath. Upstairs, two generously sized bedrooms feature dormers with window seats that open for storage. The exercise room, with Marley flooring, built-in cabinets, and a mirrored wall, could easily serve as another bedroom or office. The upstairs also includes a full bath with an enclosed tub/shower. Additional design details include solid-core paneled wood doors, wood windows with real wood muttons, Baldwin Brass polished nickel hardware, and decorative crown and baseboard moldings. Elliptical arched windows, doorways, and plantation shutters across the front add timeless charm. The property includes a spacious three-car garage with a finished floor, cabinets, slat wall, and shelving. Outside, the expansive screened porch overlooks beautifully landscaped grounds with no rear neighbors, providing privacy and serenity. Enjoy nearby Haile walking trails and vibrant village center with dining and shopping options.
