EXCLUSIVE South Bay Estate ~ Your dream home awaits! Lucky is the one to call this one home; the original owner for 33 years has meticulously updated and loved this home with details, craftmanship, and grandeur. Beginning with the abundant paver circular driveway, rich architectural detailing, side entry garages, and a beautifully tiled roof installed in 2019, the curb appeal exudes excellence. Once you've entered through the double front doors, the eye is immediately drawn upward with a sense of volume, spaciousness, and drama created by the vaulted ceilings, asymmetrical ceiling lines, and floor to ceiling glass and windows in the family room, living and dining rooms. The super spacious open concept floor plan ticks one of many boxes on your wish list, and compliments the style and personal preference of most. The neutral dcor of beautiful marble flooring, crown molding, high profile baseboards, and plantation shutters lends an element of elegance and flexibility suited for the most current decorating trends. The fabulous recently remodeled gourmet kitchen was spared no expense and detail. The exquisite, rich walnut cabinetry with crown molding provides ample storage space and are flanked by custom tilework backsplash, ambient under cabinetry lighting, and gorgeous granite countertops. The center cooking island accommodates seating for three so the chef can be center stage when preparing the masterpiece meal! There is floor to ceiling custom cabinet pantry, and a sunny breakfast nook with bay window over looking the pool. The richly elegant grand master suite boasts ample room for a sitting area. The master closet will be an envy of all with the custom designed closet system and dressing area. Loads of hanging space, built-in cabinetry with drawers and shelving will assuredly suit extensive wardrobing requirements. The stunning master bath features a large vanity area with an abundance of cabinets, drawers, enormous mirror and dual sinks. The focal point jetted tub offers ambient lighting, high windows for natural lighting, decorative custom tilework, and marble walls and floors. The large walk-in, rimless-glassed shower will easily accommodate two, and features a multi-functioning, jetted hydro panel rain shower. The other three bedrooms are nicely sized and boasts ample closet space. The fourth bedroom has an en-suite bathroom AND an attached 18x16 bonus room with a separate exterior side-entry and overlooks the lanai/pool; great for home office with it's own exterior access, in-law suite, college student, remote/distance learning center, play room, home theatre room, or guests. Enjoy the Florida outdoor lifestyle on the 36 x 17 covered lanai and sparkling, screened pool/spa! All of this is exquisitely appointed on a nearly half acre lot. The abundant back yard is completely walled-in with rod-iron gates lending elegant privacy. There are numerous important extras such as the front windows and all the windows in the North East section are hurricane proof and double glazed. Also, a new HVAC unit was installed two years ago, and all the ducts were replaced as well. Dr. Phillips schools, nearby "restaurant row" and five-star location = a win-win. Truly an exceptional estate at unparalleled quality!
