A truly one-of-a-kind custom home, thoughtfully designed for elevated entertaining and luxury lifestyle living, located in the established Hunters Bluff Lakeside community. The arrival experience is dramatic and unforgettable. From the light-filled foyer and atrium, accented by a skylight and flanked by architectural windows, the eye is immediately drawn to the architectural heart of the home--a breathtaking open living space crowned by vaulted, beamed ceilings and anchored by a custom spiral staircase rising as a sculptural centerpiece. The scale, light, and design are apparent from the moment you enter. From this vantage point, the layout unfolds with intention. A gentle step down leads into the main living areas, while in the opposite direction, an arched passageway guides you toward the private primary wing, creating a graceful balance of openness and retreat. The main living space is distinguished by exceptional flow between the great room, dining area, and chef's kitchen. The great room features a sleek and elegant marble-surround fireplace, flanked by custom built-in bookcases, providing a polished focal point beneath soaring ceilings. Just beyond, an intimate yet open salon adds warmth and architectural depth, defined by a stack-stone fireplace and built-in television niche while remaining visually connected for conversation and gatherings. The chef's kitchen blends performance with statement design, featuring a Vinotemp professional gas range, 48-inch Monogram refrigerator, two dishwashers, high-end built-in KitchenAid microwave convection oven, beverage cooler, built-in ice maker, and extensive storage. An enormous centerpiece island with a dedicated two-burner gas prep cooktop anchors the space, offering exceptional room for entertaining. An iron-gated wine cellar-style closet adds architectural interest and flexible use. Along the rear of the home, walls of Anderson sliding glass doors and windows span the main living areas, opening either to a four-season sunroom or directly onto an expansive deck. Both transitions lead seamlessly to the heated inground pool and lush tropical outdoor oasis, complete with custom decking, stack-stone walls, fire pit, and professional landscaping with palm trees--creating a resort-style indoor-outdoor living experience. Privately positioned on the main level, the primary suite is a true retreat, offering cathedral ceilings, skylights, and a stack-stone fireplace. A wall of Pella windows and doors opens to private decks overlooking a serene garden, creating a peaceful and secluded connection to the outdoors. The spa-inspired bath includes dual vanities, a soaking tub, oversized multi-jet shower, generous linen storage, and two spacious walk-in closets. Upstairs, accessed via the spiral staircase, the home overlooks the main living spaces and offers four finished rooms and 2.5 baths, including an ensuite bedroom, a distinctive shared bath arrangement with private shower and individual powder rooms, and a vaulted-ceiling flex space ideal for a home gym, studio, media room, or additional sleeping area. Upstairs rooms feature carpeting, while the remainder of the home showcases resealed two-tone hardwood floors and porcelain tile. The oversized two-car garage is ideal for the car enthusiast, featuring soaring two-story ceiling height, hot and cold water, and ample space suitable for a vehicle lift. A elevator/platform lift provides convenient access to the home, enhancing comfort, accessibility, and long-term livability. Additional highlights include updated HVAC systems, a fully encapsulated crawl space, recent electrical upgrades, and abundant architectural detail throughout. Architecturally distinctive and thoughtfully designed, this exceptional residence offers a level of craftsmanship, character, and lifestyle rarely found. A truly unique and exceptional offering.
