Award-Winning Architect’s Personal Retreat in Sought-After Country Place! Step into Florida living at its finest in this beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath home—serenely nestled on an oversized corner lot with lush, mature landscaping backing-up to a nature preserve. From the moment you enter, you're greeted by the light-filled Living Room featuring vaulted ceilings, striking beam accents, and a cozy gas fireplace framed by custom built-ins; all seamlessly flowing onto the enormous, screened lanai with its coordinating pavers, gas connections for grill and fire-pit, heated pool, and greenery beyond; creating the perfect blend of charm, sophistication and nature, this really is Florida indoor/outdoor living at its finest! Thoughtful upgrades and meticulous attention to detail make this home live much larger than its square footage. The open layout flows effortlessly over gorgeous porcelain tile floors throughout the spacious main living areas. Features include architect-curated indoor/outdoor lighting, unique ceiling fans, custom closet fit-outs, abundant built-in storage, smart home technology, and high-quality appliances. Entering from the garage into the pantry/laundry area, an unexpected high level of finishes and artistic details welcome you home. The open skylit kitchen is filled with thoughtful details; a new high-end refrigerator, dishwasher and exhaust fan, a built-in microwave oven & electric range, an instant hot water dispenser, and granite countertops including a sit-up bar for serving casual meals or cocktails. The master suite is a true retreat, boasting a luxurious bathroom with view of a meditation garden. Enjoy the maximized walk-in closets and built-ins with custom jewelry drawers and ample shoe racks. Relax in the tranquil sitting area with peaceful views of the lanai and pool. This “Florida-split” floor plan separates the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms from the Master Suite. The second bedroom and bath can be isolated by a pocket door to make a private guest suite; while the spacious third bedroom is ideally situated to serve as a bedroom or a home office, with direct access to the rear garden. A deep well with a new pump for irrigating the lush landscape saves on water bills. The spacious 2-car garage has ample shelving, a work bench with cabinets overhead and below, and pull-down stairs to access the attic storage! And for your pups…a fenced dog area! This home, outside the flood zone, weathered the 2024 storms without a bit of damage! Don't miss this rare gem in a premier location—where comfort, style, community, and nature come together in perfect harmony! Enjoy ultimate privacy and year-round outdoor enjoyment in your screened lanai surrounded by nature’s beauty.
