As you approach the scenic brick paver driveway, the serene sight of a tranquil pond greets you, setting a peaceful tone that resonates throughout the property. Meticulously maintained and thoughtfully renovated, this custom-built masterpiece, crafted by its original owners, features 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and 2 half baths within the main house, spanning over 4,200 sq ft. A separate pool house adds to the estate’s allure, providing an additional layer of luxury. Car enthusiasts and hobbyists will appreciate the convenience of both an attached two-car garage and a detached six-car garage with a spacious workshop. The home’s impressive exterior is adorned with four grand columns on the covered front porch, complemented by a wood plank ceiling that adds to the architectural elegance. Entering through custom French doors, you'll find freshly painted walls and refinished marble tile gracing the main living areas, while hardwood floors in the bedrooms enhance the home's inviting atmosphere. Solid Mahogany doors throughout further accentuate the timeless appeal of this estate. The two-story entryway leads you into the Great Room, where built-ins, arched windows, and a fireplace create a welcoming environment that flows seamlessly into the screened-in lanai. From here, take in the stunning views of the sparkling pool and spa, the heart of this outdoor sanctuary. The gourmet kitchen is designed for the culinary enthusiast, featuring custom cabinetry, granite countertops, a Viking gas range, and a Sub Zero refrigerator. Whether hosting formal dinners in the adjacent dining room or enjoying a film in the private theater, this home is designed for both entertainment and relaxation. The primary suite serves as a private retreat, featuring an ensuite bath with dual sinks, a jetted tub, and a spacious walk-in shower with dual shower heads. The custom walk-in closet is tailored to meet all your storage needs. Two additional bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath, while a fourth bedroom offers guests a private space with its own ensuite bath and direct access to the lanai. The staircase, updated with European White Oak wire-brushed hardwood floors, leads to a loft that overlooks the pond and pool, providing a serene spot for relaxation. Step outside to discover your own private oasis. The expansive lanai, adorned with elegant columns and a wood plank ceiling, is perfect for outdoor dining and gatherings. The outdoor kitchen, complete with a Big Green Egg and Lynx grill, makes hosting a pleasure, all while enjoying the natural beauty of the Florida landscape. The separate pool house, equipped with a kitchen, bar seating, and a half bath, offers an ideal venue for entertaining. Recent upgrades, including dual HVAC systems and a new water heater installed in 2024, ensure modern comfort and efficiency.
