Rich wood flooring, detailed millwork, and thoughtfully curated finishes create an atmosphere that feels both elegant and inviting. The great room is truly breathtaking with dramatic two-story ceilings, expansive picture windows, and a beautiful fireplace that anchors the space while natural light pours in from every angle. The open-concept design flows effortlessly into the chef's kitchen, where custom cabinetry, stone countertops, high-end appliances including a built-in Miele coffee machine, and a large center island create a space equally suited for everyday living and entertaining. A stunning butler's pantry and custom wine bar elevate the experience even further, offering beautiful storage and the perfect setting for hosting gatherings with family and friends.

With five additional bedrooms and ample bathrooms, there is plenty of space for family, guests, or flexible use such as a home office or fitness room. The expansive covered lanai features a beautifully finished ceiling with exposed wood beams, ceiling fans, and multiple seating areas. The sparkling pool is surrounded by elegant stone decking and ample space for lounging under the Florida sun. A custom outdoor pizza oven and grilling area create the ultimate setting for al fresco dining.
