630 SW 26TH PL Gainesville, FL 32601

Waterfront mid-century modern architecture of this caliber rarely surfaces- and in Kirkwood, one of Gainesville’s most coveted and rarely accessed enclaves just minutes from the University of Florida and Downtown, it has not done so in over 25 years. Architect-designed and engineer-owned, this home is as meticulously engineered as it is visually arresting. More than an acre of masterfully curated landscape - conceived by a landscape architect and rich with dozens of varieties of Florida-friendly horticulture unfolds beyond walls of glass that frame the waterfront like a living canvas. At the heart of the home, the spacious kitchen flows gracefully into a formal dining room appointed with two custom-built china cabinets that double as bookshelves for the adjacent family room. The family room itself is a study in thoughtful design: a double pocket door entrance, wood-burning fireplace, a planter box, built-in cabinetry, and direct access to the outdoor patio create a space that is at once refined and deeply livable. On the opposing side of the dining room, a grand formal living room commands attention with walls of glass that flood the space with natural light from both northern and southern exposures. The bedroom hall draws you past more than twenty contiguous feet of windows before arriving at two spacious guest rooms, each finished with hardwood floors and served by a well-appointed shared bathroom. The primary suite offers direct patio access and a serene ensuite bathroom featuring a curbless shower entry with frameless glass surround. Stretching the entire 89-foot length of the home, a cantilevered outdoor deck appears to float above the landscape below- a breathtaking stage from which to experience the waterfront, the curated grounds, and the singular tranquility this property affords. Opportunities of this caliber: waterfront, architect-designed, in one of Gainesville’s most fiercely coveted neighborhoods- emerge once in a generation. This is that moment.
