Welcome to all the reasons you want to live in Florida, a lot of house, a lot of love, and a gorgeous country estate surrounded by old Florida hammock of mature trees on almost five acres, secluded yet not, and on a paved road, and with county water, too! If you are a nature lover, hiker, or bird watcher, this is going to be the property for you. Bring your boots to your showing and hike the back property, beautifully wooded yet with paths carved out where you can picnic, enjoy the birds and florals, feel like you’re in the Carolinas. This property literally takes your breath away when you arrive through the winding road under the mature trees, it is so beautifully manicured and the pride of ownership is so evident in every inch, both inside and out. Lending itself easily to what could be a gated estate, this expansive Colonial style home has been completely renovated over the past 5 years, from top to bottom, including travertine and solid oak plank flooring throughout, and is simply perfect for a large family or anyone who just needs some space or if you plan to be welcoming out of town guests a lot. Boasting almost 5,000 square feet of living space, including 4 bedrooms plus an office for two, 5 and a half baths, this is truly a home where you can get cozy and have some fun. Other than the master suite, all the bedrooms are upstairs, leaving the first level for your day to day living, entertaining, and even multiple people working from home. If you are big on family and friends, this kitchen / dining room layout is for you, with abundant space for everyone to gather and enjoy great meals together. You will love this recently renovated kitchen with a center island and prep sink, all new appliances including a wine refrigerator and six burner gas stove, awesome cabinetry and upgrades including pull outs, and pass through openings to the pool deck. Speaking of parties and entertaining, turn up the music, there are flush mount Klipsch speakers throughout which tie into your Sonos or stereo system for room to room and lanai sounds. After dinner, you can all cozy up in the great room for some great conversation in front of the wood burning fireplace (when it gets a little colder, of course). Now that you are working from home, that office is a very big deal, and how about a great office for two? With bookshelves and plenty of space for everything you need to comfortably work from home, accessing materials, books, files, and a strong internet connection, too – you may never want to go back, and who could blame you? Efficiency is off the charts working here. We know your master suite needs to be just perfect, and we think this one will check all the boxes, located on the first floor, with a fabulous en-suite bath, including dual sinks, a jetted tub and walk-in shower. Don’t miss the home fitness gym and attached laundry area, there is plenty of room for your treadmill, Peloton bike and weights. Ready to go outside? Check out this oversized screened enclosure for the salt pool, lanai and outdoor kitchen, surrounded by plenty of space for lounging and tanning and also has an outdoor designated bathroom. Your family, friends and neighbors will likely visit often, and maybe even take a hike through the wooded back property, just for fun. Evenings around the fire pit are sublime. Some of the additional features in this home are crown molding, tray ceilings, rain gutters, tons of storage, multiple walk-in closets, Freshaire APCO Dual UV in-duct filtration system on all three air conditioning units (each under 5 years old) which kills germs and removes odors, a 3 car garage, extensive drainage around the exterior, a 500 gallon propane tank, backup water supply from 500 foot deep artesian well, six zone (expandable) sprinkler/irrigation system with WiFi and programmable controller tied into the artesian flow well, whole house (every opening) hard wire security/alarm system with wireless backup.
