Remarkable home set on just under 1.5 acres. This home features 5 true bedrooms plus an office/library and a huge upstairs bonus room with a closet that could be a sixth bedroom. As you enter the home your view is straight through to the gorgeous caged pool area complete with summer kitchen, spa and wood burning fire place. You'll enjoy wood floors, huge kitchen/family room area with fireplace, and a large living room/dining room, all with views over the pool area and private backyard beyond. The cook's kitchen features double ovens, gas cooktop, breakfast bar, solid wood cabinets, granite counters and center island and a wine cellar. The master wing also looks over the pool area and includes a library, dual walk in closets and a sumptuous marble master bath with jacuzzi tub and steam shower. All of this within gates of Laurel Oak where you can enjoy the golf and tennis clubs and see deer roaming the property at any time. This home affords the country club lifestyle at it's finest with the added bonus of tremendous privacy due to the almost 1.5 acre lot. This 813-acre community encompasses 346 homes and 60 villas. Only thirty-five percent of the land has been developed for residential use and was meticulously designed around hammock areas, wetlands and heavily wooded areas which preserve the natural character of the site. The balance is devoted to common areas and amenities, including Laurel Oak Country Club. Be sure to put this one on your "must see" list today!
