1220 DARLINGTON OAK CIRCLE NE

Elegantly updated estate home in the gated community of Placido Bayou with added peace of mind given the residence did not experience any flooding or hurricane damage. This stunning 4 bedroom, 4.5 bath home (plus an oversized second floor bonus/office space which easily serves as a 5th bedroom option) has been thoughtfully designed to marry luxury aesthetics with comfortable living primarily on a single level. From the moment you enter through the front double doors, you will be in awe of the soaring ceilings, gorgeous engineered hardwood floors, surrounding views of the pool and fluid floorplan providing open concept while honoring defined space. Occupying the home’s west wing, the primary suite is a luxurious retreat designed by Pamela Harvey Interiors- and it’s nothing short of spectacular. The 15’ x 28’ bedroom invites you to unwind in style, while the spa-inspired bathroom is pure indulgence. The showstopper is a tranquil bathing experience offering the most in water therapy with a freestanding soaking tub and adjacent rainfall shower. Slip on your robe and glide past two independent artisan vanities with custom lighting and into your 11’ x 16’ custom walk-in closet complete with floor-to-ceiling storage, shoe displays and jewelry niches. Once ready for the evening, journey past the hospitality quarters and dining room to the open-concept kitchen featuring stunning cabinetry, Quartz countertops, a full walk-in pantry, double oven, induction cooktop, regal hood and reverse osmosis water treatment for filtered water and ice. Approaching the large family room with a decorative fireplace and whimsical study nook, slide open the glass doors to take a restorative dip in the heated, salt-water pool or grab a chilled drink from the updated exterior wet bar and beverage cooler. Extend the evening as you relax on the outdoor patio space. Traveling back inside, family members & guests are comfortable in their own retreats. Three additional bedrooms are positioned thoughtfully on the main level - two bedrooms sharing a hall bathroom. The 4th bedroom has its own walk-in closet, private patio access and a full bathroom which also serves as a convenient poolside water closet. The entire second level of the home features a massive bonus room with built-in cabinetry and shelves, a discreet Queen-size Murphy bed and a full bathroom with shower. If you love the look of the home, this residence’s custom furnishings can be negotiated under separate cover. Needing extra space to store your vehicles and outdoor recreational items?
