On the right side of his home is a swimming pool and a trellis planted with night jasmine. The landscaping is great, said Carr, but so is the wildlife. He often sees ducks, geese and other birds in and above the trees. He also has seen foxes, opossums, armadillos and squirrels in the surrounding woods. Inside his home stands a stone fireplace that divides the dining room from the living room, and a high cathedral ceiling with exposed wood beams runs the length of both rooms.
Large windows climb the walls on either end adding light to the spacious interior.
Wood sculptures created by Fred Wiman of Gainesville decorate both rooms. There's not much traffic here, said Carr. Residents come and stay Most of the residents of Dublin Downs enjoy the large tracts of land that come with their homes. The majority have lived in Dublin Downs for a long time, and praise the area's quiet, homey environment. Doug King, owner of Douglas King Builders, built his house in Dublin Downs in 1984.
