Reminiscent of On Golden Pond, this waterfront sanctuary will immediately capture your attention and permeate the senses. With 3 bedrooms and 4 baths, the visual presentation is extraordinary and perfectly defines a lifestyle of gracious sophistication and timeless appeal. Located in Palmer Ranch’s Deer Creek community and within 5 miles of area beaches, this Arthur Rutenberg showpiece has been enhanced by an elaborate million-dollar renovation and could be featured among the pages of any prominent magazine. On one living level, every room of this custom 3,034 square foot residence has been thoughtfully stylized, blending casual comfort with romantic elegance. Drop-dead gorgeous interiors are adorned with incredible fixtures and finishes second to none, and the free-flowing layout is displayed like fine art. Stunning White Patagonia granite all throughout the house and floor-to-ceiling Italian marble add a touch of extravagance to all 4 baths, living room, primary suite and office. A sense of spaciousness is amplified by the 12-foot ceiling height and Pella windows allow ambient light to wrap the space in a warm, inviting embrace. The home’s uniquely-defined spirit of prestige and luxury is second only to the amazing lakefront setting, anchored by a gorgeous pool and covered open-air lounge. Undeniably one of a kind, the panoramic views bring an ambiance of renewal with each day. As dusk approaches, the terrace becomes center stage where a symphony of scarlet, amber and gold drape across the evening sky and reflect in the water below. An invitation lingers in the air and beckons you to take in nature’s abundant habitat and lush surroundings, while enjoying simple moments of reflection or dining alfresco under the stars. With a backdrop of magnificent lake views, the great room was generously designed for lavish get-togethers and a white grand piano serves as a dynamic focal point to this room’s tasteful décor. Massive designer-inspired atrium windows illuminate a carefully crafted kitchen with top-tier amenities for a heightened culinary experience. The adjoining dining and family rooms offer expansive lake views through window walls opening wide to the outdoor setting. A poolside primary suite is a world of its own where separate his-and-her bath ensembles and appropriately-sized wardrobe closet offer a spa-like indulgence. Additional honorable mentions include a 3-car garage, office with fireplace, nearly-invisible Clear View pool screening, non-slip poly pebble pool decking, a columned and double-door entrance, interior transom windows, intricately-tiled niches, bejeweled lighting, built-ins with glass-beaded shelving, professionally landscaped gardens, an enriched curb appeal, and many other exquisite details. With a particular interest in light, materials and movement, the remarkable architectural vision of making this home a more meaningful place is a dream come true for those who live within. A truly special residence and one that will not soon be forgotten.
