Rare lakefront, Ocala block 6 bedroom, 3 full bathroom and 2 half bathroom home built in 1968 on 1.29 acres. Attributed to Architects Jack Moore and Lester May, the post and beam construction allows for the lake to be the star as it seamlessly incorporates the outside in.

The entire upstairs has newer laminate floors, wood ceilings, beams and clerestory windows.
