10395 SW 96TH WAY GAINESVILLE FL 32608 MLS #GC522632 | Gary Kusher | Florida Real Estate

Fantastic net-zero home on 2.5 acres in SW Gainesville’s Hammock Ridge. The owners have spared no expense in maintaining this home. This 4 bedroom plus office, 2 bathroom home was built by Loren Spies in 2006. The Heather model is full of natural light, an open floor plan and high ceilings with split bedrooms for privacy. One of the best built, roll-through RV or Boat garages I have ever seen. The 2 x 6 construction, loft storage, workshop, electricity, water connection and over 1,330 on the ground floor make this garage the envy of your friends. Keep your toys safe (up to 5 cars or a 40 foot boat) and protected or transform into an in-law suite, office or studio. Step off the circle drive and onto the covered front porch. From the foyer you will see beautiful oak wood floors, vaulted ceiling and a truly open plan. To your left is the dining area and to your right the 4th bedroom with French Doors that could also double as a second office. Step into the Great Room, the kitchen will be to your left. The wood cabinets are complimented with quartz counter tops, a breakfast bar, double oven, microhood, pantry and lots of storage. Open to the Kitchen is the breakfast nook with built-in banquet seating and views of the gorgeous backyard. Off the Breakfast Nook are French Doors that open to the heated and cooled Florida Room. With banks of windows overlooking the terraced paver patio, you will love the view of nature including deer and turkey. The home is on septic and well. The well has a reverse osmosis system. The HVAC was replaced in 2019 and is a hi-efficiency system. The electric tankless water heater was added in 2018. The home includes a fully owned, 14.9 Kilowatt solar array system that will ensure no to very low utility bills and comes with a 20 year warranty. The sellers have not paid a utility bill in 7 years. Back at the other end of the Kitchen is the indoor Laundry Room with washer and dryer, and lots of extra cabinetry for storage. Off the laundry room is the garage which is heated and cooled. This makes great bonus space, craft room, workshop, or could be used as an attached two-car garage. In the garage is a 8 x 10 completely finished office. Exiting the laundry room, to the left is the Primary Suite with oak floors, tray ceiling with crown molding and an en-suite bathroom. The Bathroom includes a double sink vanity, large jetted tub and separate shower. The large walk-in closet has a built-in organization system.
