Welcome to this exceptional custom Arthur Rutenberg residence, thoughtfully updated with luxurious finishes throughout. This rare offering blends timeless architectural design, quality craftsmanship, privacy, and breathtaking golf course views—creating a serene setting for elevated Florida living. Perfectly positioned along the 8th hole of the Jones Golf Course, the home offers a tranquil backdrop for everyday living and entertaining. A dramatic arrival begins with a complete landscape redesign, professional lighting for privacy and evening ambiance, a pavered driveway and walkways, and modernized entry pillars. Enter through grand African mahogany doors into a striking interior featuring rich luxury wood flooring, wood beam accents, and an open flowing floor plan. A dramatic stone accent wall and custom niches define the main hallway, while redesigned living spaces throughout offer both elegance and versatility. The formal dining room showcases a dedicated wine cellar accented by a distinctive antique door. The game room provides flexibility and can also serve as a formal living room. The chef’s kitchen is the heart of the home, featuring custom Magnolia cabinetry with quartz counters, a striking custom copper hood, an oversized six-burner gas range with double ovens and griddle, and two expansive islands with both main and prep sinks. High-end built-in appliances complete this incredible kitchen and include an integrated refrigerator, refrigerator drawers, warming drawer, two Bosch dishwashers, and an under-counter microwave drawer. The adjacent living area features a custom wood entertainment wall designed to accommodate a large television—ideal for hosting gatherings. The spacious primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with his-and-hers walk-in closets and a generously sized bath with dual vanities ready for personal customization. Two additional guest bedrooms are equally well-appointed plus a 4th bedroom currently being used as a den providing ideal living for family or guests. All guest bathrooms plus powder room have been completely updated with designer tile and custom vanities. Step outside to the stunning outdoor living area, where the pool and lanai were completely remodeled in 2023. Updated pool/lanai highlights include marble decking, a sun shelf, pool water features, a clear-view pool cage enclosure and a saltwater pool system including new equipment/gas heater.
