A blending of timeless classic elegance and tropical beauty, this Todd Johnston-built residence is perfectly positioned on a half-acre of lush landscaping, offering perhaps the most private setting in Deer Creek. Within the living space are 3 bdrms; 3 baths; a large library/den; an updated kitchen having upscale appliances and loads of high-end cabinetry; a spacious family room with fireplace, built-ins, and a wall of windows with views of the lanai/pool and the preserve; spacious living and dining rooms; and architectural highlights like crown moldings, soaring volume ceilings, clerestory windows, indirect lighting, French doors, and plantation shutters. Within the expansive lanai are the kidney-shaped pool with a marvelous fieldstone waterfall and tropical plantings. A unique feature is the exotic sylvan area, complete with a stand of bamboo, which enhances the feeling of being at one with nature. A new flat tile roof was installed in 2012. The house also has hurricane protection. Your vehicles will be safely stored within the 3 car garage, which also has extensive storage. Deer Creek is a gated community of fine, custom homes on large lots, with 24 hour guard service, beautiful mature landscaping, and a friendly neighborhood who share an active social calendar. It is close to shopping, theaters, fine and casual dining, Costco, Lowe’s, Legacy Trail, the YMCA, and renowned Siesta Beach.
