About this home
Behind a gated, palm-lined drive, this custom Cape Haze estate unfolds across two expansive parcels totaling 2.62 acres, offering an uncommon sense of scale, privacy, and direct waterfront access on Lemon Bay. Built by J & J Homes for the builder himself, the residence reflects a level of craftsmanship and material integrity rarely found in the market.
The main living level is organized around a light-filled great room, where a wood-lined cathedral ceiling and custom built-ins frame uninterrupted views of the bay. Walls of glass open to a covered veranda, creating a seamless connection between interior spaces and the surrounding landscape.
The kitchen is both refined and functional, appointed with custom wood cabinetry, granite countertops, under-cabinet lighting, a hand-painted sink, copper range hood, KitchenAid appliances, and a Sub-Zero refrigerator. A butler’s pantry and breakfast nook enhance everyday ease, while a formal dining room with crown molding and a sculptural niche is designed for more considered gatherings.
The primary suite is positioned as a private retreat, featuring a double tray ceiling with layered crown molding, an expansive walk-in closet supplemented by two additional closets, and a spa-like bath with an extended granite vanity, gold-plated fixtures, a walk-in shower, and a Jacuzzi soaking tub.
A dedicated office with leaded glass French doors and custom built-in cabinetry offers a quiet, purposeful workspace. A guest suite with water views, balcony access, and an adjacent marble-appointed bath provides comfort and privacy for visitors. A well-placed powder room and a thoughtfully designed laundry room complete the main level.
Outdoors, a heated screened pool and spa overlook Lemon Bay, accompanied by a convenient half bath. The property’s 530 feet of concrete seawall supports exceptional boating infrastructure, including a 16,000-pound lift, a separate 10,000-pound covered lift, Trex dock, fishing station with water and electric, and a dedicated launch for kayaks and paddleboards. Deep-water access to the Intracoastal Waterway is immediate, with Don Pedro Island State Park just across the lagoon.
Additional features include zoned HVAC, tankless water heater, new electrical panel, an attached side-entry three-plus-car garage, and a 1,500+ square foot air-conditioned detached garage and workshop with epoxy flooring.
A composed and enduring waterfront estate, defined by craftsmanship, privacy, and a rare depth of waterfront presence.
