Showcasing pride-of-ownership throughout, this home features 3,430 SF plus a 313 SF pool house on a 12,089 SF lot. There are 4 upstairs bedrooms and a gorgeous office on the main level that can be used as a 5th bedroom. In addition, there are 5.5 bathrooms, one of which is a ¾ bath in the pool house. The exceptionally maintained landscaped grounds feature mature trees, including a gorgeous sycamore tree in the rear yard, and mature Crepe Myrtle trees and a Carrotwood tree. Come up the boxwood hedge-lined brick path to the front door. The welcoming entry showcases a handsome staircase and opens to the center hall with the formal living room on one side, and the formal dining room on the other side. Both formal rooms feature bay windows, hardwood floors and recessed lighting. The living room features silk drapes, natural fiber Roman shades, and a gas fireplace. The formal dining room features wainscoting, crewel drapes and Roman shades, built-in speakers, and a crystal chandelier.

At the heart of the home is the updated island kitchen which opens to the family room and breakfast nook and features coffered ceilings, recessed lighting, a breakfast bar, built-in desk, and a walk-in food pantry. Completing the kitchen are built-in appliances, including a SubZero refrigerator and freezer, GE stainless steel microwave, KitchenAid stainless steel dishwasher, stainless steel Viking double oven, and a Viking 6-burner cooktop and downdraft hood. Adjacent to the kitchen is an exquisite butler’s pantry with glass front display cabinets with interior lighting, a wine fridge, 2 refrigerator drawers, a hammered nickel sink, Mahogany counters and backsplash, and a built-in wine rack.

The adjacent laundry room has a sink, cabinets, a toilet room with a pocket-door and a closet. The closet could easily be converted back into a shower making a ¾ bath, because the plumbing has been left in place.
