Your first glimpse of this 4 bedroom (plus large office), 3.5 bath home will make you say “wow!”. Generously set back on a lovely lot, it is surrounded by lush greenery and an artistic array of oaks that resemble living sculptures. Walk up the pavered path, pass through the front columns, open the double front doors, and step inside this stunning home. From the vestibule you can immediately see how special the interior is. Gaze across the living room, through the wall of glass sliders, to the lanai. The view over the pool is one of pure natural beauty. The bronze screen around the lanai is extraordinarily high, and widely spaced, so it does not interfere with the view of the nature preserve. An outdoor kitchen adds to amazing outdoor living. Walk back inside, and you will find yourself saying “wow” again and again as you explore all this home has to offer! The abundance of windows, and glass doors, makes the entire interior bright and cheerful. The modern kitchen, which opens to the great room, is beautifully appointed. High-grade black and white granite counter tops offset quality all-wood white cabinets in kitchen and bar. The remodeled master bath, with top-of-the-line fixtures, is huge. The master bedroom also has a wall of sliders, bringing the outside in. With views of the extensive foliage, heated salt-water pool and spa, and large lanai, it is a wonderful place to relax before venturing out to enjoy all this incredible outdoor space has to offer. The guest bedrooms are all oversized. The bonus room can be used as a second office, work-out or crafts room or simply for storage. Soaring ceilings, columns, curved windows and transoms, all add to the drama and elegance of this home.
