Welcome to the “Eagle House” of Bent Tree, named for the eagle that has nested for years in one of the many trees that surrounds this fabulous home. Even the eagle knew what a special place this is. Tucked quietly away on a beautiful, secluded 1.6 acre wooded lot is this gracious home. These original owners commissioned Lee Wetherington to build their dream home. A long and windy driveway through the park-like lot leads to the inviting double, leaded-glass front doors bidding us welcome. Once inside, the large main rooms of the home offer a terrific place for gatherings, large or small, as the layout offers many opportunities for both. The kitchen, always the heart of the home, opens up beautifully to the large family room and has lovely views of the beautiful backyard and lake. The master suite is oversized with sitting area and has separate bathrooms and walk-in closets for the master couple, always a welcomed feature. A rare find, the home has a fabulous additional master or guest suite perfect for anyone with a parent or nanny living in the home. There is even a separate sitting room and private patio included. In addition to these rooms there are two offices in the home and an additional bedroom with private bath. An upstairs storage room offers the solution to the lack of a basement and is sure to please. There are 2 garage areas allowing for 3 cars in total and the windows have hurricane protection allowing carefree living. A fabulous pavered pool area and summer kitchen complete this picture.
