Majestically poised on Shell Creek, minutes from the Peace River, this tropical Spanish-Italian influenced estate fuses sophisticated grandeur with paradise living. Designed to meet the whole family’s needs, this home offers the live-work-play-privacy lifestyle of your dreams. Exquisite design and architectural details grace every inch of the nearly 8,800 square foot, two-story residence — inside and out, from top to bottom. Natural light fills the spaces from the moment you enter the double doors into the grand foyer. Plenty of areas for casual relaxation and gathering are offered, with the living room featuring a fireplace framed by wood built-ins and sliders leading to the pool terrace where guests can enjoy a swim or the fresh Florida air, or the exceptional great room with a complete bar boasting custom wood cabinetry, granite counters, wine cooler, and built-in stereo cabinet. The Cherry and Maple wood-clad executive office is superb and includes floor-to-ceiling bookcases, a rolling library ladder, and French doors leading to an outside balcony. For the iron chef in the family, the gourmet kitchen is an inspiration for culinary creation showcasing granite counters, custom tile backsplash, wood cabinetry with glass doors, 4 dishwashers, Viking appliances including a double oven and gas range, a farmhouse sink, built-in desk, walk-in pantry, island, breakfast bar and more. Guests can dine in the generously sized dinette open to the kitchen or the elegant formal dining room for a stately meal. Every member of the family can choose a personal sanctuary with six bedrooms including two master suites. The master suites are each the epitome of rejuvenation with plush carpeting, impact sliding doors to a stone balcony and balustrades, walk-in closets, and en-suite baths fit for royalty featuring marble flooring, dual vanities, jetted tubs, and Roman showers with dual showerheads. Outdoors, imported Spanish tile transports you to an exotic oasis where you can lounge in the auto-cleaning, heated saltwater Pebble Tec pool and spa with 3 waterfalls with an abundance of covered patio areas surrounded by tropical landscaping. At the water, your boat is ready for endless enjoyment at the boat dock and lift with concrete pilings. Everything you could ever want and deserve is found in this lovely estate.
