This iconic, mid-century modern offers luxurious privacy in the heart of Ocala! This home is just a golf cart ride away from the Downtown Square and Farmer's market. Designed by noted architect Angus McRae, the home was built by Jack Clark, founder of Fine Arts for Ocala to entertain friends and family and to showcase his art collection. The full set of original working blueprints comes with the home. Skylights and soaring ceilings flood the home with natural light. This 5 bedroom 4 1/2 bath home has been fully renovated to accommodate today's modern living while remaining true to the original design. The home is impressive enough to have been the feature and cover article of Ocala Style magazine. The kitchen, which features a fireplace and custom-built walnut cabinetry, opens onto a back yard paradise with a one-of-a-kind pool and mature landscaping. The natural surroundings are sure to inspire many creative dishes!
The gathering room contains a wet bar complete with more custom cabinetry, a full-size fridge, wine fridge, ice maker and dishwasher, and French doors lead to a sunny brick courtyard. The master suite includes a spacious bedroom, large dressing room with seven closets, and the master shower in the bathroom that looks out upon your private waterfall --self-sustaining fish included! A fourth bedroom features a second fireplace and makes a lovely home office or additional gathering room. At 5786 square feet, the home includes a finished basement, perfect for a home gym or theater, a 2 1/2 car garage large enough for two large SUV's, a workspace, and a golf cart, and an entirely renovated one bedroom one bath garage apartment with a private entrance.
