Nestled within gated Johns Landing, beside pristine John’s Lake, renowned for its fishing and watersports, this elegant 4,758 square foot Mission style home sits on more than half an acre. It features 5 bedrooms, 3 baths, 2 half baths, a library, a theatre room, two family rooms and a 3-car garage. As you cross the pavers on the covered front patio you will be struck by the stately columns leading to a massive, hand carved, hard wood front door with five eclectic windows arrayed across its arched top. Upon entering, flanked by two Doric columns which rise to 24 foot ceilings, you walk down marble steps into the dining room where you’re treated to panoramic views of Johns Lake through outsized glass doors opening to the patio. Neutral color tile floors as well as attractive crown and chair molding add touches of elegance to the formal dining area to the left of the entry. Discover a cozy office with an ebony wall decorated in latticed wood and set off by polished wood floors. An unusual aspect of this luxurious home is the presence of two master bedrooms. The downstairs master offers the comfort of a fireplace inset into a tiled wall and three large windows affording sweeping views of the lake. There are also three decorative transom windows aligned above the bed. An oversized walk-in closet, equipped with organizers and a 3-way mirror for dressing is conveniently located by the closet exit. Comfort abounds in the marble-floored master bath where an opulent Roman tub clad in beveled granite, a huge walk-in shower, two vanities and a picture frame mirror provide the ultimate setting for relaxation and renewal. On your way to the kitchen, you’ll pass an intimate wet bar with a dedicated area for wine storage. The gourmet kitchen itself features a rich palette of mahogany cabinets, exotic mermaid green beveled granite counters and gleaming stainless steel vegetable and side-by-side sinks. A professional 6-burner range, built-in refrigerator and G.E. oven facilitate superior preparation and storage, while the cozy “eat-in” nook with bay windows and overhead lighting is perfect for informal meals and anytime snacking. Following meals, the activity often moves into the adjacent downstairs family room where three windows brighten an already open and airy gathering spot. Returning to the entry, large sliding glass doors at the rear of the house lead to an enclosed patio where a wet bar, stacked stone fireplace and a TV mounted above it invite relaxing afternoons of viewing and conversation. Visiting the upstairs begins by climbing the elegant spiral staircase off the dining room. The wood treads, handrails and intricate wrought iron balusters are perfect for making a truly grand entry. Once upstairs, spend some time in the state-of-the-art theater room professionally equipped with a full projection screen and black out curtains. The second master bedroom with en suite bath also occupies the 2nd floor along with three roomy secondary bedrooms all of which feature closets with built-ins. Numerous outdoor amenities add significantly to the home’s appeal and include a pool and spa. A long wood plank walkway runs from just outside the house to a private dock and automatic boat lift housed in a covered shed that’s large enough to accommodate boats up to 25 feet in length.
