Looking for a luxury estate with land surrounded by nature, but still within minutes of shops, restaurants and work? This thoughtfully designed custom home with pool and pool house sits on over 3 acres abutting the Buckeye Cove preserve and trails. Designed for both functional daily living and entertaining, the main floor includes both a primary suite and guest suite with zero entry shower and wide entries to accommodate all guests. The primary bath features a large freestanding tub, oversize shower and the large vanity include drawers with outlets and storage for accessories. As you enter from the covered front porch to the 12' foyer you'll notice an office with vaulted ceiling and stained beams and a spacious dining room with coffered ceiling and wainscotting. Venture further into the home and you'll immediately notice the wall of windows and light that floods the home and the greenery of the yard and trees beyond. The high ceilings and custom stonework around the large gas fireplace make the space welcoming without being stuffy and create the ideal backdrop for either a grand holiday gathering or a quiet morning coffee. Just off the great room is the door to the backyard and screen porch, kitchen and breakfast nook with built-in bench with storage. Should you need more storage, the kitchen provides additional storage space with full height cabinets, including a hidden microwave and appliance "shed" with pull-out shelves to leave everything in place while in use. The 48" Thermador Range includes 6 gas burners, a griddle and 2 separate ovens. The built-in Thermador Fridge and Freezer columns have ample space, especially when you can store wine in the built-in wine fridge. Tucked away behind the entertaining areas of the home are the guest suite, laundry, mud room, access to the 3 car garage and the cozy den that includes French doors to the screen porch so you can enjoy the fresh air and sounds of the spa waterfall while you work or relax. If the outdoors are calling, there's no better place than this yard. A screen porch, private saltwater pool and spa and the separate pool house that is an entertaining showstopper. The large garage window over the indoor/outdoor wet bar with under counter fridge and icemaker, means the party flows inside and out. Surround sound, a full pool bath and storage closet for all the swimming supplies means everyone will want to spend all summer here! If staying healthy and working out in the air conditioning (or heat!) is what you prefer, the pool house also includes a large gym with a large picture window. If you venture back inside and upstairs you'll find a large bonus space with space to enjoy movie night, complete with built-in snack bar and storage, game night, playroom or whatever flexible space you envision. The two remaining "mirror-image" bedrooms are off the bonus room and include large walk-in closets a dormer window nook perfect for a desk or reading chair. Each room has a private vanity area that lead to a shared bathroom. On the far side of the bonus room is a walk-in unfinished attic that provides plenty of storage.

Also noteworthy:

- The home currently includes 4 bedroom but the installed septic system is for 5 bedrooms. An expansion or modification of the current home would allow for an additional bedroom without having to change the septic
