The kitchen is expansive, with so much more storage than meets the eye, high-end appliances, and a large breakfast bar. The family room is also quite large, has a great bar area with wine fridge, and a wood-burning fireplace. Up the striking curved staircase, you'll find an airy feeling second story. There is a loft, three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and the master suite. This is a true master suite, soaring ceilings, a closet big enough to move into, a luxurious bathroom (complete with jetted tub), and a private den/workout room. Do you enjoy outdoor space? In addition to the grand front porch, there is a large open balcony upstairs and a second, screened balcony off the master bedroom. Downstairs there is a covered and screened porch, usable all year round. The yard is stunning, the entire house is walled/fenced and gated. The pool is HUGE and feels like you're in a resort, it was just remodeled and a heater, as well as programmable lighting was added. The summer kitchen makes this a perfect weekend retreat, and there is a full pool bath. Mature landscaping (including mango, avocado and lime trees) is everywhere, and the privacy is lovely. Hard floors throughout, a mixture of stylish tile and real wood. There are fans throughout, and 2 AC systems for better efficiency. Double paned windows, high-end window coverings. Exterior and interior were painted this year, water softener was JUST replaced, the house is on propane (buried tank), recessed lighting in all rooms, all on dimmers. This house is the epitome of one-of-a-kind, bringing hard to find old world charm, and pairing it with modern touches and conveniences. This special home can be yours by the holidays.
