1544 Raphis Royale Blvd., Englewood, FL 34223

Lake and preserve views. This custom estate home was built by Lee Wetherington and is located in the gated country club community of Boca Royale, perfect for an active, upscale lifestyle. Enter through decorative double-glass doors with matching palladium transom to the formal living and dining rooms that open to the kitchen and great room. Decorative light fixtures, 8-foot doors, tray ceilings, triple crown moldings and repeating arches are just some of the upgrades. The open kitchen has cherry cabinets and granite countertops, a gas range and top-of-the-line appliances and a breakfast bar. Three guest bedrooms feel like suites featuring large closets and window seats, each just steps to a bath, one with a Jacuzzi walk-in tub. The master, which is the fourth bedroom, also features a garden bath, dual sinks and a Roman shower. In addition to the den, there is a bonus room with a half-bath perfect for that man cave. Open one of the many pocketing sliders to the large wraparound lanai with a gas heated pool and hot tub/spa. Did I mention the wildlife? You'll see egrets, blue herons in the lake and red-shouldered hawks inhabiting live oaks in the preserve. A perfect place to start the next journey in life.
