Description
We're pleased to present a tremendous opportunity to own the former North Florida Builders model home behind the gates of King and Bear at the World Golf Village! Sitting center court at the end of a cul-de-sac with a beautiful street presence on almost a half-acre estate lot, this 5,600 square-foot under-roof showplace features a warm and inviting floorplan. Upon arrival, you'll fall in love with the quality and detail like hand-placed stacked stone, dramatic architectural lines, and a solid wood ten-foot front entry door with leaded glass inserts and transom. A grand two-story foyer with a sweeping staircase greets you once inside, along with 10-20 foot ceilings accented with extensive custom wood moulding. A handsome study is dressed with coffered ceilings and trimmed in rich wooden moulding. An expansive living room with a view of the pool and conservation preserve area and an oversized formal dining room with a view of the front garden share the center of the home. You'll love the gourmet-inspired kitchen equipped with GE Profile and GE Monogram appliances, a gas cooktop, matching cherry wood-paneled oversized built-in refrigerator, and an Advantium combo microwave/convection oven. Solid cherry raised-panel Kitchen-Maid cabinets topped with 10-inch crown moulding complete the kitchen, and abundant custom granite countertops with a center island compliment the kitchen decor. A large casual dining room accompanies the kitchen with access to a private courtyard/raised BBQ deck for grilling (with a stub-out for natural gas). The kitchen is also open to the family room/den centered by a gas fireplace, custom mantel, floor to ceiling stonework, and custom built-in bookshelves/storage cabinets. A vaulted ceiling complimented by floor-to-ceiling picture windows frames the backyard and conservation/preserve area. A set of French doors lead to an expansive covered lanai and the screened pool. Enjoy the heated pool all year and the sound of the waterfall cascading into the pool. There's plenty of space for your patio furniture and lounge chairs! The backyard is secluded from the rest of the world; get lost and enjoy this private oasis. There's a full cabana bath with a walk-in shower and a door to the pool area, too. Also, downstairs, you'll find the primary suite. This impressive space has a sitting area with a bay window that lets natural light flood the room and a set of french doors with access to the lanai and pool. There are two oversized walk-in closets and a large ensuite bath that features a jetted Jacuzzi tub, two large vanities, a private water closet, and a HUGE walk-in shower. An oversized three-car garage will accommodate all your parking and storage needs (including a pulldown attic stairs to decked-in attic), and the extended Paver driveway swoops around to the side-entry garage. The laundry room has a wash sink and storage cabinets for your convenience. Upstairs, a large bonus room greets you with sliding doors that lead to the paver balcony. The balcony spans the length of the house with views of the pool and the conservation/preserve area. There is a guest suite with a private ensuite bath and two additional guest bedrooms that share a Jack and Jill bathroom. Enjoy no CDD fees in King and Bear! Drive your golf cart or bike ride to several club amenities, including a fitness cottage, junior Olympic-sized heated lap pool, tennis courts, and several "pocket parks," including Heritage Oak Park. Play a round of golf on the King and Bear Championship Golf Course designed by Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer. Membership to King and Bear gives you full access to Slammer and Squire for twice the golfing pleasure and two gourmet restaurants, plus additional perks! Indeed you'll fall in love with this community!
