From the Agent: “Architect Harry Merritt’s masterpiece, the Weil-Cassisi House, is for sale for the first time since 1973. Located in Colclough Hill, this 1965 home sits on .69 of an acre and the property includes a second .75-acre lot. The midcentury features generous eaves, clerestory windows, and terrazzo floors. The Ocala block front entry courtyard wraps the home in a dramatic fashion. The tall double doors open to a grandaddy live oak and a walk lined with palms. Up the walk, you enter the home through another set of double doors. The open dining room has a built-in credenza and terrazzo dining table. The kitchen has original wood cabinets and beautiful views of the walled, rear-screened enclosure. The open reading room is off the kitchen, and to the left of the front door. There is a half bathroom for guests, walk-in pantry, and large laundry room with built-in cabinets. There is also a two-car garage and lots of storage. Upstairs, Merritt made extensive use of California redwood siding.”
