5424 NW 72ND STREET GAINESVILLE FL 32653 MLS #GC534965

Custom-built Barry Rutenberg home in the exclusive gated neighborhood of Woodfield. This stunning 6 bedroom (3 downstairs/3 upstairs), 4 bath home on an over-sized 1.33 acre private lot. One of the best floor plans on the market. Meticulously maintained stucco home features soaring 10 foot ceilings, a HUGE upstairs rec room (with a connected extra storage room), and a private first floor primary suite with an impressive closet system and spacious primary bathroom with large tub, shower, private water closet and dual vanities.

Rutenberg is renowned for his amazing floor plan designs and not an inch of wasted space. This home feels like a 6000 sf home !
Three spacious bedrooms are on the first floor: one near the primary suite, perfectly situated to be an executive office, and the other two downstairs bedrooms are in their own separate wing (connected by a bathroom), lending itself to be the perfect set up for a private mother-in-law suite. The updated gourmet kitchen with modern high-end appliances is open and inviting, with an over-sized quartz island, custom cabinetry, generous pantry and a coffee bar! A formal dining room and living room are perfect for entertaining, and guests can stay in the two additional airy bedrooms upstairs joined by a lovely Jack and Jill bath. A custom stone gas fireplace adds warmth and ambiance to the family room, and the over-sized windows provide a perfect view of the welcoming, solar-heated pool, the large -screened patio, and the extensive backyard, which backs up to a serene and scenic pasture. Enjoy peace of mind with a newer roof (2022) and two newer HVACs (2020 and 2024). Three car garage with tall ceilings and pull-down ladder attic access. Entire perimeter is fenced.
This estate is not only in close proximity to top schools, shopping, dining, parks, the University of Florida and UF Health/Shands, but also provides tranquility and privacy for those seeking the best of both worlds! Homes in this neighborhood rarely come on the market.
