On the shores of Lake Ariana is a delightful surprise blending southern charm, a modern art gallery and the livability of a completely handicap-accessible home. A favorite will be the 2000 sf ft 3-sided wrap-around porch, cooled by lake breezes and six ceiling fans: enjoy your sunrise coffee or evening cocktail. Jaw-dropping entry will take your amazed eyes to the full length house gallery, 8’ x 100’ soaring to 24’ cathedral ceiling, stylish low voltage gallery lighting and impressive ‘up’ lighting. Every room opens to this grand hall, including a 1/2 bath for guests. The living and dining room both enjoy lake views along with elegant features such as the antique crystal chandelier; a century-old maple carved fireplace surround for the gas fireplace and solid wood built-in entertainment shelving. A custom designed kitchen table with swing chairs and stainless kick plates is lit by a stylish suspended modern fixture with cobalt blue lights and surrounded by cherry cabinets with extra high upper cabinets, Corian countertops, stainless sink, and a pantry with built-ins that resembles a small grocery store! The oversized master suite enjoys a view of the privacy-walled rose garden and access to the porch; walk-in closet to write home about, complete with custom built-ins; master bath has a true roll-in oversized shower, period-style tub, extra long vanity along with makeup desk, hand-painted lavender orchid sinks. The bath connects to the adjacent fourth BR/sBonus/flex combination laundry room and doubles as a designated re-enforced storm room complete with hurricane shutter. Just across the hall sit two closely matched en-suite bedrooms, with extra large walk-in closets with built-ins. High vaulted ceiling in all the bedrooms. The end of the hall has an additional storage closet, separate utility area, access to the oversized side-loading garage and another exterior door. The graciously wide and long driveway has extra parking, while porch has attractive curved stair entrance, ramp entrances to north and south sides of the porch along with multiple low threshold entries. Roof is a 50-year shingle roof and yard has space to add a pool. Gas filled insulated windows; every room has a thermostat that allows each room to heat or cool separately, in-wall pest control, all electric sockets in the baseboards, Nutone speaker system inside & outside, security and irrigation systems. A family of red birds returns each year to this special home to raise their babies. You can look forward to returning to this home daily by making it your new nest.
