Property Description

Under contract-accepting backup offers. Luxury living takes center stage in this exceptional custom-built five-bedroom, four-bath residence, ideally positioned on a quiet dead-end street in The Plantations at Tara Golf and Country Club. Designed for entertaining, this home combines refined finishes and a Florida resort-style setting. From the moment you arrive, the soothing sound of cascading fountain water and decorative double-entry doors create a memorable welcome. Inside, abundant natural light, soaring ceilings, crown molding and decorative trays create an impressive sense of space. Brazilian hardwood floors, onyx inlays, travertine tile and six-inch baseboards add distinction, while the formal dining room features arched windows, plantation shutters and a decorative ceiling medallion. The heart of the home is the beautifully updated kitchen and family room overlooking the pool. The kitchen delivers with soft-close cabinetry, granite counters, pull-out shelving, under- and over-cabinet lighting, marble subway-tile backsplash, a six-burner gas range, premium stainless appliances, expansive counter seating and a pantry with wood shelving. A built-in serving area with glass-front cabinetry and a wine refrigerator enhances entertaining. The adjoining casual dining area features an aquarium window and slider, while the family room is anchored by a gas fireplace. The separate living room makes a dramatic statement with a multi-tier tray ceiling, extensive crown molding and beadboard detailing, while broad sliders showcase the pool and create seamless indoor-outdoor flow. A dedicated game/entertainment room adds a dry bar, ice maker, walk-in closet and full bath—perfect for billiards, movie nights or a home theater. This space could also be used as a fifth bedroom for multi-generational living. Go outside to your private Florida retreat: an expansive travertine lanai surrounding a saltwater pool and spa with PebbleTec finish, auto-fill, newer equipment, a natural-gas heater and solar heating. A SunSetter retractable awning with wind sensors and party lights, plus a re-screened pool cage, extends enjoyment into the evening. The spacious primary suite is a true retreat with an elaborate double-tray ceiling, sitting area, two walk-in closets with custom built-ins and direct pool access. The luxurious bath features dual sinks, marble counters, a jetted soaking tub and an oversized glass-enclosed shower with striking diamond-pattern tile inlay. Two additional first-floor bedrooms welcome family and guests. Upstairs, the fourth bedroom offers an ensuite bath, a walk-in closet and access to a TimberTech composite deck with a SunSetter awning. Currently serving as an office/exercise room, this flexible space is equally suited for guests or a private in-law suite. Additional highlights include: split three-car garage with epoxy floors (2024), a private pond-side patio with a fire pit, whole-house landscape lighting, a tile roof (2023), exterior paint (2024), newer Brazilian hardwood floors (2024), second-floor HVAC (2023), a game-room ice maker (2025) and solar panels (2025-26).
