One of a Kind A Unique Home with Amazing Outdoor Living

When it comes to beautiful properties, South Florida has many to choose from. From gorgeous estates, to sparkling condos, and fantastic villas, there is a home for everyone here. But from time to time there are some standouts available and this home, built by Stock Custom Homes, is one of those special properties. The attention to details, the livability, the design - everything comes together to create a really unique home. “While anyone would enjoy living here, I think people looking for that quintessential Florida lifestyle are the ones who will enjoy this spacious property the most,” stay listing agent Crystal Tobe. “It’s really set up for entertaining but entertaining with the outdoors in mind as the outdoor spaces, like the beautiful outdoor kitchen and lanai, are just so special.” The home is also perfect for a growing family, either through their own children or the addition of grandchildren. Situated on an acre lot, the expansive yard is perfect for family activities and the home’s 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath layout allows for separate spaces for family members to relax.

Expert Exterior

As you approach the home, you are met with an exterior that showcases exquisite craftsmanship as it offers a nod to transitional West Indies architecture. Just enough visual interest has been added with simple corbels and blue painted shutters. This keeps the look more contemporary as it keeps with the coastal architectural theme. Colorful landscaping with tropical hints pops against the slightly off white tone of the walls while dark wood accents pop and add contrast. A wide paver driveway leads to two, two-car garages that create a half courtyard effect thanks to the home’s almost symmetrical design.

Opening Act

Inside the home, a living room and bar area greet both family and guests as they arrive. Beyond, the view of the beautiful pool and the 10th hole of the Lakes golf course are a beautiful picture. In the living room, a stone clad fireplace offers an elegant focal point for the room as it balances the bar, also clad in the same stone, on the opposite side of the room. A comfortable seating area is made more visually interesting thanks to the different shapes and lines of the sofa and armchairs. Elegant curves and oversized arms create a unique feel to the room. The home’s design leans more contemporary and the use of neutral colors with well placed accents to colors lends itself well to the theme.

Welcoming Presence

The home’s well appointed wet bar and dining room offer a space for more formal entertainment. The impressive waterfall island is perfect for entertaining while elegant cabinetry offers plenty of storage for all the different glasses and accessories a drink aficionado needs to create a memorable night in. Overhead, large pendant lights offer a touch of gold while silver and gray barstools bring in a mixed metals theme. Open storage for wine gives the bar the feel of a European bistro. Next to the bar, the dining room features a dark stained table and seating for eight topped with a unique glass chandelier with panels that look like small sails. The builtin buffet provides storage and service area while not intruding into the space. Contemporary artwork brings in a splash of subtle color.

Eating Well

Open to the great room, the kitchen and breakfast nook are two well appointed spaces that offer the ultimate in entertaining and family space. Lighter cabinets in a natural wood tone provide enough storage space for even the most active cook. Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances offer exceptional tools for meal prep. The kitchen features a double oven, double wide fridge/freezer combo, a wine fridge, and two dishwashers and ice makers. Behind the gas range, a beautiful inlay sparkles and ties in the stone counters with the backsplash. In the breakfast nook, the dining table seats six comfortably and offers a place to both start and end the day in casual style. Above the table, a large chandelier is suspended from a ceiling that features beams and tongue and groove details.

Living Large

The vaulted ceiling in the kitchen carries into the great room, trying the two spaces together. Surrounded by banks of floor to ceiling windows and pocketing, zero-edge sliding doors, this room offers a modern twist to the old style Florida rooms. A cozy seating arrangement with neutral colored sofas is accented with sunny yellows and soft grays. The accent wall provides a nice focal point in the space while also providing a home for the entertainment center. The room provides a sweeping view of the outdoor areas and opens on to the lanai for a true indoor/outdoor experience.

The room is accented with pops of gold and silver which bring in the mixed metals from other rooms in the home.

Sweet Dreams

Outdoor Experience

The home’s pièce de résistance are the outdoor living areas. With almost 2,000 square feet of living space, the home offers an outdoor kitchen, living room, elevated sun deck, pool, spa, dining area, and retractable screens and shutters. Different seating and dining areas allow family and friends to spend hours outside enjoying the amazing weather and the charm of the home’s Quail West setting. On one side of the home, two groupings provide ample seating with one set up to facilitate conversation and game play while the other is situated around the stone-clad, outdoor fireplace. The continuation of the neutral color palette allows for a seamless feel from inside to out.

The outdoor kitchen offers the best in cabinetry that can survive the humid conditions a Florida summer can bring. A large stainless steel range hood sits over the grill which is perfect for a large outdoor dinner party. A stepped counter top provides enough space for meal preparation and for seating.
