2017 Crown DriveSt. Augustine, FL 32092Sale Price: $845,000

Exquisite Mediterranean-inspired estate home perfectly situated on the most beautiful lot with lake to golf course views behind the gates of King and Bear! This custom designed home combines elegance and craftsmanship throughout a more than 4,200 square-feet open concept floorplan. The street presence is superb as you approach the property on Crown Drive: a large Paver circle driveway wraps around a custom multi-tiered fountain and garden, and provides plenty of parking for even the biggest of entertainers! Upon entering through double glass doors with iron-inlays, you're greeted by soaring 20+ foot ceilings, crystal chandeliers, and impressive opulence. A marble medallion decorates the foyer floor, and beyond that, there's a large living room and dining room fit for hosting parties. A gourmet-inspired kitchen is open to the family room and offers double-ovens, a 36-inch gas cooktop, granite countertops, a custom tile backsplash, center prep island, and a large breakfast bar. The casual dining room has 90-degree sliding doors that pocket into the wall. An additional work desk with over and under cabinets accompanies the casual dining space. A gas fireplace centers the family room with a built-in cabinet and floating shelves on either side. Another large pocket-sliding door leads to the covered lanai from the family room. A stunning saltwater pool with a fountain that cascades over a sun-shelf are the centerpiece of the pool area. The oversized screened pool area has travertine decking, a gourmet summer kitchen with a gas grill, a wash sink, and a drink cooler, and a luxury hot tub/spa that sits behind a screening wall. Roast s'mores or simply enjoy the beautiful ambiance of having a built-in gas fire pit by the pool. Although this home sits on a lake with golf course views, a real sense of privacy is offered since the golf course sits far back across the lake. Low energy bills are another plus since the owners spared no expense when building the property and considered energy efficiency items like a radiant heat barrier and additional insulation. Another nice feature is the downstairs master suite. The master bedroom is HUGE and has access to the pool area, two oversized walk-in closets, an ensuite bath with a jetted tub, two large vanities with granite countertops, and a massive walk-in shower with two entrances and multiple showerheads. Another guest bedroom with an ensuite bath is downstairs -- great for an in-law or overnight guests. A spacious study with a storage closet and french doors is also downstairs. The day-foyer and laundry room with a laundry shoot from upstairs also has a service door from the front and access to the oversized three-car garage. Upstairs you'll find a good-sized loft/flex-space, two guest bedrooms each with its own ensuite bath, and a large bonus room over the garage (also the 5th bedroom) that has multiple closets and attic/storage access. Enjoy no CDD fees in King and Bear! Drive your golf cart or bike ride to several club amenities, including a brand new state-of-the-art 5,500 sq. ft. fitness center, junior Olympic size heated lap pool, tennis courts, pickle-ball courts, and several "pocket parks," including Heritage Oak Park. Play a round of golf at the Championship Golf Course designed by Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer or enjoy lunch at the clubhouse. The World Golf Village is conveniently located between Jacksonville and Historic St. Augustine, both offering shopping malls and restaurants. The new Durbin Town Center is less than a 20 mins drive from the gates, and the beaches less than 30 mins.
