House sits on 2.5 ac of the most beautiful property in Melrose. (Adjacent 2.5 ac available) Situated on the East end of Ashley Lake, the front of the house faces the water allowing the most beautiful Sunsets imaginable. Over 5000sq ft all one floor, the house is over 125' from end to end. At the widest part 50'. There are six master bedrooms, each having large walk-in closets and bathrooms. There is a half bath off the laundry room. Two bedrooms have handicap accessible bathrooms. The great room is 720 sq ft with a 19' vaulted tongue and groove ceiling with beams. The east and west walls are all glass. Never miss another sunrise or sunset. The great room also has a floor to ceiling fireplace large enough to take up to 4' logs without splitting. Andirons are customs made in Finland. Another fireplace is located in the adjacent family room and both fireplaces have gravity heatilators. The family room also has a wet bar and gives access to the in-ground pool. Off the family room is an office with a built-in Mosler combination wall safe and is extremely secure and fireproof. The dinning room offers a beautiful view of the lake and is large enough for our 12' x 5' table, and additional 4'x4' table, and tall chest of drawers. And still room to set up a card table if more seating is needed. Easily we have seated over 20 people including wheelchairs. We have hosted two weddings and receptions with over 200 people, several anniversaries and graduation parties with live bands, and with all my family, countless birthday parties. Their is plenty of room to receive overnight guests, and many times we have provided temporary living for other families and friends when in need. You would be hard pressed to find another home in North Central Florida that offers such variety, potential and fun for comfortable living. This house would make a great Bed and Breakfast, Retreat House, Respite Home, Lodge, or just a spacious home for a large or extended family. The adjacent 2.5 acs are also for sale. I have a 30' x 40' steel building on this property with a workshop and plenty of storage. A large 12 x 12 rollup door gives access for storing boats, RV's Etc. We are asking $120000 for this piece but if the same person wants both we will entertain offers and make a deal. Both lots have plenty of water oaks and live oaks as well as typical Florida palms and sago. Trails through the woods give a park like feeling and there is a half court basketball court on the parcel with the house. The entire 5 acres are completely fenced, gated and secured with two drives. As must to see and appreciate. THIS IS A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE ! ! ! We have relocated and must sell. We are very motivated. We were asking $450000 for the house and have recently reduced to $395000. Won't you make us an offer? At this price it won't be around long!!
