From this Heritage Neighborhood, walk to Lake Alice, the Law School and campus. Ron Haase, the celebrated Florida architect of the cracker style built this cedar home for his own family in 1984. It was featured in Southern Living and many architectural magazines (for more information, visit: http://www.houzz.com/projects/84142/golf-view-house). In 2006, John Barrow, noted architect for historical construction, redesigned the interior to provide more heated and cooled space and all systems and interior finishings were updated. Starting in 2008, essentially a new house was built inside an existing house. The iron spiral staircase was replaced with a traditional cypress one and the custom made railing were crafted by the artisans at Gainesville Iron Works. With a wall of glass, this area provides a wonderful interior poolside flex space for dining, art displays or reading nook. Beautiful slate floors were installed downstairs and hardwood floors upstairs were expanded. French doors off the foyer on one side and the Florida room on the other, open to a poolside area with a two story atrium for grilling, dining and relaxing. Adjacent to the formal living room, a full bathroom has been added. A utility room with washer dryer, sink, hard counters and cabinets has been added. New oversized downstairs doors, crafted from solid cypress, were installed. Fine Baldwin Hardware was installed throughout the house. All the millwork is new solid cedar or cypress. New gourmet kitchen was installed with top of the line appliances, two sinks, Corian counters and custom made Shaker style cabinets. It opens to a gathering room/ dining area and the staircase Room. Off of two bedrooms upstairs, the two cracker sleeping porches overlooking the pool atrium were converted to dressing rooms, ideal for exercise equipment or office/library space. The master bedroom has a luxury bath and French doors that lead out onto a balcony/deck area. The third bedroom upstairs also has French doors to its own balcony/deck. Across the back or the house upstairs is a large family room with access to the attic and a door to the balcony/deck. A new hall bathroom has been installed upstairs. There is a zoned heating and cooling system with a high SEER rating and an Aprilaire filter system. A new compressor and dehumidifier were recently installed.

New switches and lighting were installed throughout. Downstairs is wired for a comprehensive house speaker system. Decorative pavers were installed to create a double driveway, stairway and open patio area at the entrance.
