Stunning French Country inspired estate home backing to many acres of preserve area and located in Windmill Estates, the premier estate collection of homes behind King and Bear's gates. Elevated 32-inches above grade, this home commands a tremendous street presence, which offers unique character to this custom built home by Michael Bourré. Enter through double entry doors to a large foyer with vaulted ceilings. The floorplan is open and flows well from room to room. There's a formal dining room with a large window that allows natural light to flood the space. A niche gives plenty of room for a buffet or china cabinet without impeding into the dining area. The family room has tall tray ceilings and is centered by a gas fireplace with stacked stones and a custom wooden mantle. Extensive crown molding and tall baseboards add to the luxurious feel inside the home -- no detail overlooked. The gourmet-inspired kitchen will impress any chef equipped with a Wolf gas range, Viking refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, custom stacked stone around the range, custom cabinets, a large breakfast bar, and a center island. A quaint, casual dining room from the pages of Southern Living magazine accompanies the kitchen with french doors that open to the screened lanai. The first-floor master suite is large, with a sitting area and bay window to look out to the lush backyard and preserve. The master ensuite is well appointed with a jetted tub, large walk-in shower, custom tile work, two vanities, and lots of natural light. There are also two walk-in closets with plenty of space! The study is located off the family room and also has a bowed wall of windows that view the backyard and preserve. Two additional guest bedrooms share a jack and jill bathroom, each with their own sink area and large and ample closets. There are extra closets for storage in the guest-wing hallway. The laundry room is finished with plenty of counter space, upper cabinets for storage, and a wash sink.
