The lawn is carpeted with deep, lush Seville grass, and sets the tone for the luxurious quality of this unique property. A graceful golden tree beckons you to walk the lantern-lit path to the back yard. Exquisite garden plantings delight the eye, and further behind, the 3rd Fairway of The Palms Golf Club. Indoor and outdoor light fixtures and chandeliers were uniquely made at a local forge with custom "bubble" glass panels. The doors have been hand-finished in deep rich stain, and are graced with crystal knobs. Hardwood oak floors, hand finished, embrace each step you take through the romantic journey of a life of quality and thoughtfulness. Each bedroom has its own bathroom and its own unique aspect. The two secondary bedrooms each embrace the Spanish Mission history, with Saltillo tile floors and rich finishes, redolent of another era. Private, indulgent, evocative. Revel in an outdoor shower in the private courtyard off the master suite, reached from the outside by a wonderfully rustic Pecky Cypress door. The home features extensive outlets for power and cable so the modern and plugged in can create the space as they want. The main living area offers flexible living arrangements, tremendous flow and light. The kitchen allows for easy meal preparation with quality stainless appliances: Bosch built-in convection microwave / oven and induction cooktop (induction pots and pans will remain), plus a versatile, movable kitchen island. Pluck a bottle of wine from the wine refrigerator and wander out to the expansive lanai, with protected under-roof space as well as plenty of lounge-by-the-pool space. The lanai is framed with Pecky cypress trim and accented with hand-forged light fixtures. There is also a large storage cupboard with french doors on the lanai. The "Hollywood"-size, SALT pool is framed by a new "Clear-Vu screen", allowing for exceptional, captivating views. Lounge ... Live ...
