The owner/builder went over the top on the detail and quality in this Spanish/Tuscan style home. Highly desireable Oyster Bay Estate neighborhood that is a very short walk to the Field Club on the bayfront. This home is large but does not give you that feeling, it has a comfortable feeling of casual elegance, exuding quality and authentic old world detailing. The kitchen will win the hearts of the professional or home chef. Kitchen features a double oven, gas cooktop, Double wide sub-zero, warming drawer, copper sink and pot filler, display cabinets, granite tops with glass and stone tile back splash. The french doors leading to the large cover lanai has a outdoor kitchen, fireplace which gives you a comfortable place to enjoy the view down the long marble tiled pool area towards the tranquil waters of the lake and beautiful grounds. Balconies and lanais off both master bedrooms, take your pick. Two laundry rooms, one up and one down. The home has tasteful finishes on the ceilings and walls with crown molding in almost every room in the house. Many energy efficient and safty features were thoughtfully engineered into the design. This home has features you do not find very often and some that a owner/builder would only put into their own home and not a spec home. If you have in-laws or want a large bonus area,this gives you those options. From the moment you drive up to this special home, to the grand entrance with sweeping staircase, you know you are going to enjoy seeing something very special.
