Keep reading for more details ...This home has been well maintained recently painted throughout the interior. Oak hardwood flooring run throughout the main level and is complemented by handsome stained wood trim and ceiling beams. The floor plan is the perfect combination of open concept and dedicated spaces. Just beyond the foyer is a cozy living room centered around a gas fireplace and built-in bookshelves - a perfect place to receive guests or or enjoy a book. There is a formal dining room with a service station and wet bar for formal events. The kitchen is expansive enough for larger gatherings while still providing nooks for more intimate, daily moments like a mid-afternoon snack or breakfast by the window. If you like to cook, you'll love the 6-burner gas stove with grill and powerful exhaust accompanied by the convection oven and extra hand sink which just so happens to have filtered Instant Hot water dispenser for tea and coffee. In fact, the whole kitchen is plumbed to a UV Reverse Osmosis filtration system. There are yards of cabinets and countertops plus extra storage in the walk-in pantry with brand new quartz counters. Moving into the keeping room, you find another gas fireplace - this one is double-sided to serve the kitchen area and the great room. All of the first floor has speakers built in for music and movies. There are tons of windows filling this open space with light and the view into the garden underneath the oaks is idyllic. Another wet bar is conveniently located by the great room for game days and movie snacks. Step outside onto the rear balcony for some fresh air and a view of the back yard. The Owners' Suite on this main level is wide enough for a lounging and TV viewing area. Double doors invite you into the luxurious bathroom with nearly every amenity imaginable: heated granite floors, bidet, Bain Ultra Airbath, make-up counter, double vanity and glass shower. Conveniently, the laundry is connected to the Owners' bath and it large enough to be another bathroom. Adjacent to the laundry is a guest room with cork floors that could also double as an exercise room or home office. Upstairs you'll find two matching bedrooms with en suite baths separated by a third room with built-in storage that is ideal for a play room or study. On the ground level there is a tiled room that is heated and cooled but not included in the square footage. This can be used any number ways: lounge, office, game room. The bonus here is a temperature and humidity controlled walk-in wine cellar that can hold hundreds (thousand?) of bottles of wine. This room is flanked by two outdoor spaces: a screened porch one side and a covered patio on the other. Both spaces transition out into the private and beautifully landscaped backyard. Grand oak trees surrounded by ferns, azaleas and other shade loving plants thrive here in their natural habitat. The yard is fully fenced and ready for pets and children. The massive 3-car garage has a work shop and a ton of storage. Landscape lighting is solar powered and features some of the oaks and palms framing the property at night. The lawn is fed by an irrigation system which can be connected to the lawn well. This home is heated and cooled by 3 Trane 'positive pressure' HVAC units which are extremely efficient. Additionally, there is a Nest Home system to regulate power consumption from the vac system and monitor the front door bell and fire alarm. The current owners have lovingly maintained this home and truly thought of everything to make this a comfortable and efficient home.
