This picture-perfect home is situated on one of the largest homesites in Kenwood Park, on over 1/3 of an acre, providing a serene lake view, an impressive side-loading garage design, adorned with pavers and the NEW ROOF contribute to the overall sophisticated aesthetic appeal. Essentially every surface from top to bottom was updated in 2020 through curated selections by a renowned designer from Parson’s School of Design. The common theme of this residence is elegance, featuring 12’ ceilings in main rooms adorned by all new oversized crown molding, tasteful flooring, and complementing baseboards creating an atmosphere of grandeur. The main gathering room showcases a gorgeous new feature wall containing glass shelving, decorative electric fireplace, chic wallpaper enhanced with stone accents. The large disappearing sliding doors open to a haven of privacy, evident by the large, covered lanai with newer tile floors, a tucked-away half bathroom, and an extended patio with a new panoramic screen highlighting Florida’s natural beauty. The separate formal dining area features soffit/recess lighting and a modern chandelier. Culinary enthusiasts will appreciate the updated gourmet kitchen, equipped with an extended breakfast bar, newer high-end appliances, and countless cabinets.

Pocket doors close off a nook, adding to an abundance of storage closets, and the laundry room features custom cabinets, a newer smart washer/dryer, and a sink. The expansive owner's suite has a double door entry, two spacious customized closets, large bay windows with automatic shades, double crown molding, and a glass door opening to the lanai.

Two guest bedrooms featuring plantation shutters and custom closets share an updated guest bathroom.
