Crafted by renowned luxury builder Todd Johnston, this legacy estate offers over 4,000 sq/ft of thoughtfully designed living space on two private acres within the sought-after community of Foxfire West. Framed by mature tropical landscaping and tranquil lake views, the property offers a timeless blend of elegant architecture, privacy, and resort-style living. A long, winding driveway welcomes you to the residence, where nearly every room enjoys picturesque views of the surrounding grounds. Designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining, the home's open floor plan is centered around an expansive chef's kitchen- the true heart of the home. Featuring new Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances (2025), solid wood cabinetry, stone countertops and backsplash, a large center island with abundant storage, vaulted ceilings, and seamless connectivity to the surrounding living and dining spaces, the kitchen serves as the natural gathering place for family and friends. A truly exceptional feature rarely found in today's market is the home's private guest residence. Complete with its own living room, kitchenette, private bedroom and bath, attached one-car garage, and covered lanai, it functions as a true second living quarters- ideal for multigenerational living, extended guests, a live-in caregiver, or long-term visitors without sacrificing privacy for either host or guest. One of the home's most distinctive design elements is its seamless connection to the outdoors. The principal living spaces (great room, kitchen, primary suite, and flexible bonus room) all open directly to the screened lanai, allowing the home to wrap gracefully around the heated pool and spa. Complete with an outdoor kitchen and multiple areas for dining, relaxing, and entertaining, the lanai becomes a true extension of the home's interior, embracing Florida's year-round lifestyle. Rich architectural details, including arched windows, travertine flooring, soaring ceilings, and a wood-burning fireplace, create warmth and character throughout the main living areas. Beyond its architectural beauty, the home has been meticulously maintained with significant recent mechanical upgrades, including newer HVAC systems (2024) and a whole-home generator with a propane tank (2023), providing comfort, efficiency, and peace of mind for years to come. The first-floor primary suite offers a tranquil retreat with dual walk-in closets and direct access to the lanai. A handsome library or study offers the perfect work-from-home space, while the oversized flex room with a built-in Murphy bed provides endless possibilities as a media room, fitness studio, or additional guest accommodations. Upstairs, two generously sized bedrooms, each with its own walk-in closet, are connected by a thoughtfully designed Jack-and-Jill bath featuring two private vanity areas joined by a shared shower and water closet, offering both privacy and functionality. A spacious loft and oversized terrace create an inviting secondary gathering space overlooking the beautifully landscaped property. Beyond the heated pool and spa, the estate grounds feature a private pickleball/sports court, batting cage, expansive lawn, and multiple destinations for entertaining, recreation, or quiet relaxation. Combining timeless craftsmanship, an exceptionally versatile floor plan, recent system upgrades, and an extraordinary setting, this is a rare opportunity to own one of Foxfire West's most distinctive legacy estates.
