Beautiful stonework and architecture.

I wonder whether it comes equipped with outdoor doggie restrooms as well?

Judy said...

Very nice. I like the curvy lines of this place.

Thomas Hammerlund said...

I think I could live there.

That's quite an impressive house. The rooms in the turret (?) must be wonderful.

That looks huge. Love the porch.

I recognise only the American flag, what are the others, do you know?

Looks more like the Midwest or New England than Ocala. Lovely, nevertheless.

So nice:) I like especially the tower:)

@ Steffe - I have no club. May be some local clubs or organizations.

Karen said...

I'd love to get inside and do a tour. Looks like a mini-mansion with interesting rooms. Almost makes me want to get back into Real Estate. The best part was touring other people's houses.

Hilda said...

It does look huge. Love the stone walls and pillars!

Lois said...

It's very nice! I like the stone in the walls.

Lowell said...

@ Per Stromsjo: Yes, but unfortunately, they are not Swedish outdoor doggie restrooms...these are restricted only to Ocala dogs, otherwise known as "hot" dogs!

stromsjo said...

Oh, the world is full of discrimination!

A beautiful house for sure and a lovely capture of it! :-D

EG CameraGirl said...

How interesting that the window frames are painted red. Hmmm

Lowell said...

@ EG - Yes...I think it gives the house a certain flair...but, I have no idea why red...I'm not privy to the flights of those who live in such rarefied air...

Such a beautiful house, I wanna live there!

What a beautiful structure . . . so incongruous to Florida, in my mind. It appears to be built in the late 1800s in the Queen Anne style. It's wonderful to see it maintained. Are there many other historical homes in Oscala?

Lowell said...

@ Slim - yes, there are quite a few historical homes here...I've shown a few on the blog so far, and will show more in the future.
