Imagine taking a scenic 10 minute drive home from Shands or UF everyday with almost no traffic across beautiful and seasonally changing Paynes Prarie! Perched high and dry on the south rim lies the well established and highly desirable Edgecliff community. These homes do not come on the market often. The WOW factors of this cherished and well maintained home on 2 1/2 sprawling acres keep revealing themselves as you explore its many private gardens off of every room. Using an oriental motif, each side of the house has access to a private, well landscaped patio for relaxation and contemplation. The large open living room with a dramatic gas fireplace and vaulted ceiling flows into a screened patio with an outdoor kitchen and wet bar. A 450 sq ft office/art studio could be converted into a 4th bedroom with a space for a 3rd bathroom already plumbed in an adjacent pantry. A 300 sq ft study/ hobby room off of the garage offers an additional heated and cooled space in which to pursue your hobbies. Before retiring for the evening enjoy the hot tub in your special, secluded patio off of the master bedroom. DO NOT MISS VIEWING THIS CHARMING GEM OF A HOME !
