Property Description

With its clean lines and harmonious integration with nature, the Haynes Residence is a Mid-Century Modern masterpiece. Designed by Architect Harry Merritt in 1966 and inspired by the Case Study Houses of Southern California and Frank Lloyd Wright's Usonian Houses, this courtyard home embodies tranquility and architectural clarity with a palette of redwood siding, Ocala block walls, and terrazzo floors. Its expansive glass walls look out over a 1.65-acre property, which backs onto undisturbed forest just steps from Newnans Lake. This 3 bedroom plus office, 2 bathroom home respects its original design while breathing new life into its iconic elements with subtle sophistication. Extensive updates include a new commercial grade roof, repaired eaves, improvements to the plumbing and electrical systems, paint, wallpaper, and meticulously restored terrazzo floors. The home is centered on a 350-year-old Live Oak in the courtyard, which is visible from every living space through continuous glass walls. The courtyard's deck and generous eaves create a dynamic outdoor living space that connects to the kitchen and dining rooms through a wall of sliding glass doors. The kitchen has been updated with stainless steel appliances, refinished wood cabinets, center island with breakfast bar and two pantries. Off the kitchen is the dining room with a George Nelson Bubble chandelier, recessed built-in buffet and large windows overlooking the expansive backyard. Around the corner is the dramatic sunken living room with wood burning fireplace and custom metal hood. This space features signature elements of Merritt's designs: its lofty height, Ocala block built-in seating and fireplace mantle, and walls of glass offering panoramic views. Around the corner is the more intimate family room with built-in seating (featuring hidden storage), windows to the backyard and another set of sliding glass doors to the courtyard. A hallway leads to an updated, full guest bathroom and two guest bedrooms with walls of windows overlooking the verdant sanctuary behind the home. At the end of the hall is the large primary suite. This room has a built-in vanity with a wall of shelves. All the bedrooms have custom closet systems by California Closets. The master bedroom has another Merritt signature feature, a wall of Redwood siding and clerestory windows. The Primary Suite includes an en suite bathroom with an updated shower with seamless glass enclosure, vanity with new sink. Both the primary bathroom and the family room connect to an intimate office with another wall of Redwood siding, built-in desk and flexible storage space. There are two septic systems and a well with a water purification system. The property is a serene, low maintenance space that embraces nature. The Live Oak–one of the largest recorded in the Southeastern United States, anchors the site, and its massive canopy shades the home. Deer pass quietly at dawn, owls nest in the limbs, and bald eagles soar overhead. Magnolia Estates is a peaceful sanctuary just three miles from downtown Gainesville and an easy drive to the University of Florida and UF Health. No HOA. The owners have undertaken a thoughtful and comprehensive restoration of this midcentury modern gem. Every detail has been approached with respect for the home's original design, replacing and revitalizing what time had worn down. The result is a lovingly maintained home that honors its architectural legacy while enhancing its livability.
