Property Description
Welcome to this gorgeous, custom-built, 6-bedroom, 6-bathroom Southern estate tucked away on a peaceful 2.51-acre conservation lot. Designed for seamless entertaining, the home greets you with a soaring staircase and an elegant, electronically operated chandelier. To the right, the formal living room provides a graceful pass-through to the family room, while the formal dining room to the left is perfectly situated for holiday gatherings. The chef’s kitchen features an island with cabinets, a gas cooktop, double wall ovens, and high-end stainless appliances, including a Sub-Zero refrigerator. The butler’s pantry adds convenience for hosting, and the walk in pantry affords a family lots of space for non perishables. The sun-drenched breakfast nook offers tranquil pool views and a dedicated desk area. The airy family room serves as the heart of the home, boasting a wood-burning and gas fireplace, custom built-ins, and double sets of French doors leading to the lanai. Nearby, the expansive primary suite serves as a private retreat with pool access, a jacuzzi tub, dual vanities, two water closets, and two large walk-in closets. The first floor also includes a secondary bedroom with a full bath that doubles as a pool bath, a powder room and a functional laundry room equipped with extra cabinetry, a built-in ironing board and a second refrigerator.
Accessible via a private staircase, the second level features four spacious bedrooms—one with a private bath and two sharing a Jack-and-Jill bathroom—alongside an office/den, a laundry chute, a cedar closet and a massive bonus room complete with a bar area and half bath. Outside, the brick-paved lanai overlooks an extraordinary pool and jacuzzi, offering a front-row seat to the conservation lot for bird watching and enjoying nature. Professional-grade infrastructure defines this property, featuring full height concrete block exterior, an attached 4-car side-entry garage and a detached, air conditioned 2-car garage with insulated doors, pre-plumbed for a potential in-law suite. The home is built with “commercial grade” bones, including red oak floors, crown molding, 10-foot ceilings, top-of-the-line Andersen double-pane windows and a central vacuum. Modern efficiencies abound with 4 AC units (1st and 2nd floor replaced in 2017 and 2021), R32 insulation, pest tubes in the walls, provisions for an in-floor safe in the office and programmable recirculation pumps for instant hot water.
For the tech-savvy buyer, the entire house is wired with CAT-5 cable and a multi-room music system with individual volume controls, plus dedicated home theater wiring in the family room, primary bedroom, and bonus room. Practical amenities include a deep well for irrigation, a 2,000-gallon septic tank, a 250-gallon buried propane tank, and a water softener with a reverse osmosis filter. The roof was replaced in 2020. Security is paramount, with all windows and doors, including garage overheads, hardwired for a security system. Bring your RV as there is an electrical circuit hook up on side of the detached garage. Situated “high and dry” with a finished floor slab one foot above Dover Road, the estate offers exceptional curb appeal with a brick paved circular drive, classic red brick, and charming blue shutters that make this home as inviting as it is robust. Located just minutes from shopping, dining and schools.
