Spectacular custom home on Renaissance Lake in the Renaissance subdivision of Riviera Bay. This custom residence has been renovated from top to bottom with exquisite finishings and contemporary styling. One will be impressed, immediately upon entering, by the stunning chandeliers and the open, flowing floor plan. The view through the large windows and French doors opens to the incredible outdoor living space that boasts two, not one, kitchens and a large saltwater pool with a spa. This is an entertainer's dream. One kitchen is equipped with a JennAir and a beverage center, and the other includes a gas grill with a side burner and a refrigerator. The pool has pebble sheen lining from PebbleTec with a lifetime warranty. There is a wood dock, perfect for fishing in the saltwater lake or for enjoying beautiful sunsets. This home has great curb appeal with its mature landscaping and beautiful outdoor lighting. Two years ago, an impressive 3,000-square-foot travertine circular driveway was installed. The complete renovation that took place gave the home a completely open concept with loads of natural light. During renovations, the owners installed all new upgraded lighting fixtures with LED lights, beautiful solid wood built-ins, including a wine bar with dual-zone refrigeration, wood cabinets and a wine rack. Two new electrical panels and two new 24 SEER smart HVAC systems with humidity control have been installed, along with hurricane impact windows. This home was designed with grand entertainment in mind. The new buyers will be able to host family and friends in luxurious style, indoors and outdoors. The custom wood front door opens to a wide-open view of the living space, beautiful porcelain tile flooring and a central living room that includes a dining area and family room with a grand floor-to-ceiling gas fireplace made from imported tile. The open kitchen features waterfall countertops, a glass tile backsplash, an oversized island with an ice maker and convection microwave and a warming drawer. The bedrooms are all spacious. The master bedroom opens to the screened-in lanai with views of the lake and sunsets and has a beautiful custom-designed bath and walk-in closet. One of the guest rooms has been designed to be used as an in-law suite if desired, with a door that encloses it, along with a small foyer area and separate bath. The owners just put in a brand-new 30-year warranty shingle roof and two new skylights. This home has all the bells and whistles. A smart home technology system has been installed in this home, with too many features to mention. Detailed information on this is available. Located conveniently between Tampa and the beaches and a short drive to downtown St. Petersburg. It truly is a must-see. Please view the 3D virtual tour.
