We love a Duke model and this one is uniquely lovely! Situated on a gorgeous lot with pasture views, this home accentuates the beauty of nature. From the moment you enter the Japanese garden in the courtyard, you feel transported to a place of serenity, privacy and natural relaxation, complete with well-designed “light scaping” around plantings and a refreshing, jetted and heated spa with a waterfall feature and special lighting. The unique birdcage adds to the ambiance with custom-designed panels of lush landscapes. As you enter the living space of this home through luxurious custom-made, leaded glass double doors, you'll be greeted by a welcoming gas fireplace nook and a living room designed for comfort, with 24” ceramic tile flooring, large picture windows giving you views of those famous Florida sunsets, and many custom architectural features. The updated kitchen has sparkling quartz counters, lots of cabinet and prep space, a spacious closet pantry, recipe windows, and solar tubes for lots of natural light, plus a large eat-in bay with sliding glass doors that give you a full view of and direct access to the courtyard. The spacious main bedroom has room enough for a California king-size bed and matching bedroom pieces, plus a reading nook, and there is a large walk-in closet, as well as an ensuite that features quartz counters, a garden tub, a shower, and an exterior door that opens directly to the courtyard. The second bedroom has plenty of room, a walk-in closet and an exterior door with direct access to the courtyard. Across the courtyard from the central home there is a casita designed for the comfort and privacy of guests or a live-in arrangement. The Casita features a French-door entry, a walk-in closet, an ensuite with a shower, a window and a door for direct access to the courtyard; and it has its own HVAC zone for additional comfort. The house is also equipped with hurricane shutters, a reinforced garage door, and gutter guards. For your peace of mind, the roof was replaced in 2023, HVAC 2016, Double-pane Windows 2022, and a whole-house generator installed in 2020 with a paid service contract through 2028. Home is being sold “turnkey”. (The grandfather clock in great room, Regulator clock in bedroom 2, bistro table & chairs and some snow lanterns in courtyard plus some personal items do not convey.) There is so much to love about this special home and photos just don't do it justice; so, make an appointment to see it before it's “gone”!
