Property Description

Under contract-accepting backup offers. Sanctuary. Quality. Turn-key. These perfectly describe this courtyard pool home in NW Gainesville's Meadowbrook Ridge. The former personal home of the builder, Ed Mendel of Edinborough Homes, this 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom home is well appointed and has high-end finishes and top notch features throughout. From the ones you can't see like the 2 x 6 construction and monolithic slab design to the ones you can like the custom cabinetry, honed granite countertops, stone accents and hardiboard siding. The design speaks for itself, built in 2008, the home wraps around a beautiful pool creating a peaceful and inviting courtyard. To the left of the double front doors is a separate guest bedroom or in-law suite. The generously sized room has French doors opening to the courtyard, plantation shutters offer privacy from the large picture window overlooking the front yard. The bathroom has custom tile work, a large vanity with a stone countertop and is full of natural light. Back to the courtyard: it is screened and the pool has a stone accent wall with two fountains and a cascading waterfall. The solar pool heater adds months of enjoyment. Straight ahead is the door to the main house which opens to the large Great Room. The Great Room has a ton of natural light, a wood-burning fireplace, beautiful engineered waterproof hardwood flooring and a set of French doors and side lights that open to the backyard. This large open space has a breakfast bar overlooking the kitchen. The kitchen has it all: a pantry, a center island, stainless steel appliances, custom tile and amazing granite countertops that are honed to a natural finish. Off the back of the kitchen is the formal dining room with a gorgeous view of the pool. Around the corner from the dining room is the indoor laundry with tub, washer and dryer and extra cabinetry for storage. Through the laundry is access to the two car garage with separate garage doors and ample room for storage. Just off the kitchen is the guest wing with two guest bedrooms and a guest bathroom. The rooms are large with ample closets, return air in each room and a well-appointed guest bathroom. The guest bathroom has a large vanity with stone countertops, a combination tub/shower and custom tile work. To the left of the Great Room is the Master Bedroom. The engineered wood floors continue through from the Great Room. The room has French doors to the courtyard pool, tray ceiling and a large walk-in closet. The master bathroom has two vanities, separate shower, private water closet and jetted soaking tub. The backyard has a covered porch, fenced yard and fountain. The total acreage is .34. Recent upgrades include new roof in 2025, new interior paint, and a new HVAC with heat pump in 2023. Meadowbrook Ridge has a low annual HOA dues of $200. Zoned for A-rated Hidden Oak Elementary, Fort Clarke Middle and Buchholz High Schools. Great location, just two miles to Santa Fe College, one mile to I-75 and Springhill Publix Shopping Center and restaurants.
