This gorgeous, 3/2.5/3 custom built home spans .37 acres and has the look and feel of a brand-new, picture-perfect model. You’ll find beautiful surprises everywhere. The home is large enough to enter from 2 streets along a stately governor’s drive that befits a home on the cover of Home & Gardens Magazine. It backs up to a lake surrounded by lush landscaping that provides beautiful views in a 100% private setting. The list of recent upgrades are what you’d expect from an owner who has spent his life in the construction trades. New additions since 2020 include a NEW ROOF, an Epoxy 3-car garage floor, new pool screens, privacy screens, new water heater, high-end toilets, and a new Multi-colored, pool cage LED lighting system w/remote. Other recent improvements include an overhead GE microwave, new pool skimmer, fresh interior paint, and all new LED recessed lighting throughout the home in 2022. The pool-bath has been updated with LVL flooring and a Shiplap Accent wall. The quality of the workmanship in the home has earned it a 3.5-star rating with the Charlotte County Building Dept. The grand front entryway features stately columns supporting an elevated archway high above the double stained-glass doors, palladium and transom windows, tiled floors, and a casual sitting porch. The expansive front-yard setting with a 3-car garage provides easy street access without the need for backing into traffic. The gourmet kitchen offers stone counters, solid-wood staggard cabinets, an Aquarium window, an office space, a backsplash; and stainless appliances. There are 2 eating bars, including 1 that features a unique glass lit bar. The kitchen connects to a large family room ideally made for any-sized TV with windows overlooking the Lake view.

The lanai and pool deck are stamped with stone-stamped floors, a salt-water pool, a newer pool and skimmer, an electrical heat pump for year-round comfort, and the updated pool bath. The bath features new flooring, paint, and hand-crafted wood work. FYI, the lack of any rust on the pool cage rivets is testimony to the owners passion for excellence in maintaining this home.
