Thoughtfully crafted for both everyday comfort and elegant entertaining, the home features five bedrooms, five bathrooms, a three-car garage, and a bonus room, all wrapped in timeless architectural detail.

A grand double-door entry opens to a formal foyer highlighted by a coffered ceiling and marble inlay, setting the tone for the sophisticated interiors beyond. Polished marble floors flow through the living, dining, and family rooms, complemented by tray and coffered ceilings, crown molding, and decorative recessed accents throughout. The living room is enhanced by a recessed wet bar, creating an inviting space for gatherings, while the formal dining room is bathed in natural light from a large picture window. A spacious private den and a well-appointed office provide flexibility for work or quiet retreat.

The open kitchen is designed with both style and function in mind, featuring rich wood cabinetry, granite countertops, a center island with wine rack and additional storage, newer appliances (2-3 years old) and a built-in desk area. The adjoining breakfast nook, great room, and family room overlook the pool and expansive backyard through large windows and sliding glass doors, filling the home with natural light and seamless indoor-outdoor flow. The family room also includes custom built-ins, adding warmth and character. A separate laundry room offers ample storage and a utility tub for added convenience.

Bedrooms are accented by warm hardwood flooring for added comfort and style. The primary suite is a true sanctuary, generously sized, featuring a coffered ceiling with crown molding, a triple set of sliding glass doors leading to the outdoor living space, and a discreet in-floor safe located within the primary closet. The spa-inspired primary bath features dual vanities with marble countertops, extensive mirrors, a sunken Jacuzzi tub, and his-and-her walk-in closets. Additional notable features include volume ceilings, new impact windows and doors (2025), new roof (2024), newer AC units (all three are less than 5 years old), impact windows, and a newer hot water heater (within 5 years).

Outdoors, a deep covered and screened lanai invites you to enjoy Florida living year-round, complete with a summer kitchen, sparkling, heated pool (Resurfaced in 2019), and raised Jacuzzi with a soothing water feature.

Surrounded by mature landscaping with over 25 different fruit trees, and expansive green views, the backyard offers privacy and tranquility while remaining ideal for entertaining. With a low HOA and a premier Steeplechase location, this exceptional residence delivers luxury, space, and lifestyle in one truly must-see home.
