A peaceful, private natural setting on nearly 1-1/2 acres bordered by +/- 60 acres of natural preserve makes an idyllic backdrop for this lovely home, which features solid cinder block construction, vaulted ceilings, marble floors, quality finishes, and spacious living spaces. Inside the beautiful beveled glass and mahogany double doors, the front hallway features rich marble floors, a glimmering crystal chandelier, additional recessed lighting, and plenty of room for your art or photographs. The formal parlor and formal dining room are located off the hallway, as is an additional bedroom (currently used as an office) with large bath and walk-in closet. A vaulted ceiling makes the huge master suite seem even larger. It includes 2 walk-in closets and a large bath with dual sinks, elegant dark cabinets, jetted tub, and separate shower. The large kitchen features granite countertops, a middle island with sink, plus another long island with breakfast bar connecting the kitchen to the great room. Professional stainless appliances include a hood, 6-burner cooktop, wine cooler, and a huge Kitchen Aid refrigerator. Vaulted ceilings and a large fireplace enhance the great room. An upstairs apartment with bedroom, bath, and walk-in closet sits above the 3-car garage in the east wing. As it can be accessed through a separate entrance if desired, it's perfect for housing out-of-town guests or boomerang children, or it could be a studio or office. An alarm system, sound system, updated Internet wiring, and 3 A/C units are among the additional conveniences. Fully covered by the roof, shaded, and mostly protected from the elements, the back porch allows for outside living nearly year-round. Accessible from most rooms, it currently includes porch swings, a pool table, and a breakfast nook, leaving plenty of room for additional activities! The natural setting showcases the seasons--with several wisteria trees and approximately 130 azalea bushes, spring is especially gorgeous! Relax on the front porch overlooking the lawn, enjoy the huge screened back porch bordering the conservation easements, plant a garden around the brick patio, or bird watch amongst the fruit trees. The property includes plenty of room for a pool, or take your bike or golf cart to the huge pool at the Regatta Bay Clubhouse. If you're looking for a peaceful setting surrounded by nature and room to breathe, this beautiful home is a must-see!
