Fantastic Mid-Century Atomic Ranch home in NW Gainesville’s Florida Park. Built in 1955 and designed by Dorothy Haythorne for her parents, no expense was spared or detail overlooked in this well maintained 3 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom brick home. Located on an oversized, corner lot with .48 acres. This location can’t be beat, less than a mile to the University of Florida. Florida Park is a charming neighborhood of hills, tree lined streets, sidewalks, meandering creeks and yet central to downtown, campus, area shops and restaurants and nearby Alfred A. Ring Park. From the covered front porch, you enter the foyer with vintage planter and gorgeous wood floors. The designer was ahead of her times with a bright and open floor plan, generously sized rooms and large picture windows. Updated window coverings throughout. The Great Room is open to the dining area and affords great views of the beautiful canopy of oaks. A pair of sliding pocket doors separate the dining area and Florida Room.
