Set on a beautifully manicured homesite surrounded by mature palms, sculpted hedges, and vibrant landscaping, this extraordinary residence feels like a world of its own—quiet, refined, and thoughtfully designed for those who value beauty and privacy. A stately brick and stone façade with arched windows and double French-style doors sets the tone for the luxury that unfolds inside.

Upon entry, sparkling crystal chandeliers cast a soft glow across custom crown molding that carries throughout the home. A gorgeous fireplace with a custom mantle offers an instant sense of warmth and welcome. The main living area rises dramatically with two-story ceilings, rich wood paneling, curated wall inlays, and a built-in aquarium, adding a sense of movement and serenity. A striking staircase with wood treads and spindles becomes a sculptural element, while arched niches, custom-built-ins, and granite surfaces enhance the room’s timeless character.

The kitchen opens effortlessly to the living space, designed with both everyday comfort and entertaining in mind. Granite counters stretch across multiple prep zones, complemented by warm wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a raised breakfast bar. Pendant lighting and designer details create a refined environment where gathering feels natural.

The primary suite is an intimate retreat featuring a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, a cozy built-in reading nook, and his-and-her closets. The ensuite bath offers a spa-like experience with a deep soaking tub, custom tile work, a makeup vanity, a walk-in shower, and a radiant crystal chandelier. Bedroom Two is hidden behind a seamless paneled wall—an ideal secret library, reading room, or creative hideaway. Upstairs, a bonus room or 5th bedroom has a full bath, a closet, and a private balcony that overlooks the serene grounds.

The screened lanai feels like a personal resort. A shimmering pool, stone-accented spa, and peaceful greenspace views create a tranquil setting, while the fully equipped outdoor kitchen—featuring a KitchenAid natural gas/propane grill, Lynx stovetop, mini fridge, and double sink—makes entertaining effortless.

An attached guest suite offers full independence with its own entry, garage, and alarm system. Inside, ceramic tile flooring, detailed crown molding, and stainless steel LG and Whirlpool appliances (including washer and dryer) elevate comfort. The suite includes a massive walk-in closet, custom-built headboard, granite counters, and a spacious screened porch that opens to a private deck overlooking the backyard and pond.

Throughout the home, thoughtful details shine—plantation shutters, French doors, intricate woodwork, designer lighting, and abundant natural light. This residence is rich with warmth, character, and luxury—ready for its next chapter.
