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. I sit in the dining room and enjoy them every night. 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. Click here for room sizes and details. 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 (There is a story here.) 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.
