Motivated Seller is installing a new architectural shingle roof and new water heater in November 2022!! AND the Seller is offering a 2-1 Buydown, reducing your interest rate by 2% the first year and 1% the second. This mid century modern home was custom built by Bill Ridgway as his personal home. Located only 1.6. miles from UF, this exceptional 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom, 4,361 sq. ft. home sits on .56 acres in the original Brywood neighborhood. Hand-scraped hardwood floors cover most of the living-area on the main level. This level features the owner’s suite with a private balcony, two guest bedrooms, each with a walk-in closet. There is also a guest bathroom, and an additional study. The kitchen leads out to a screened porch where the current owners enjoy dining surrounded by nature. The separate dining room is complete with a Waterford Crystal chandelier. Down four steps is the generous formal living room with a stone-clad wood burning fireplace. Seven floor-to-ceiling picture windows on two sides of the living room overlook the large lower-level deck and provide panoramic views of the abundant foliage behind the home. The lower level boasts two additional guest rooms, a full bathroom, and a huge family room with a wet bar and a wall of windows. Three sets of French doors lead out to the oversized deck and to a covered patio with its own fireplace/grill. The exterior also features an attached two-car garage, additional parking areas, and mature native landscaping. This home is truly a nature-lover’s dream. A trail from the back deck leads down through the tree-covered property to Ridgeview creek, which runs the length of the property. Loblolly Woods nature park, with extensive trails and boardwalk, is just 0.2 miles from the front door.
