This is an exceptional and unique residence in gated Deer Creek, in the heart of Palmer Ranch. Custom built by award-winning Lee Wetherington Homes, the floor plan incorporates a large guest/in-law suite into the classic and desirable split bedroom plan. As you approach the property, majestic oaks, numerous palm trees, and a wide brick driveway present an impression of a beautifully maintained and well-loved home. Enter through the double doors, and you will immediately have a feeling that something is familiar and yet somehow very different. You are in the central living area, which quite obviously was designed for entertaining. In front of you is the living room, which features a gas fireplace with beautiful tile facing, centered in a wall of custom cabinetry. Beyond the living room, of course, is the covered lanai and the pool. Imagine how large parties might flow easily through the wide open doorway from the interior living space to the outdoors. To your left is the formal dining area, where you can open the plantation shutters to see the the beautiful front yard. Before proceeding through the rest of the home, enter the primary bedroom suite to your right. Notable features here are the two-sided gas fireplace, two walk-in closets, sliding glass doors to the pool deck, and the jetted spa tub in the en suite bathroom. As you leave the suite you will cross back through the main living area, and your attention will be drawn to the kitchen. You will recognize that it is ideally located for entertaining; exposed to the interior living space, convenient to the lanai and pool deck and overlooking the view, and yet separated and spacious enough to allow the cook (or cooks) to work comfortably. Note the gas cooktop, stainless steel appliances, plentiful storage, and the expansive countertop. Moving beyond the main living area, turn to your left, where you will find the second bedroom and guest bathroom. This bedroom is on the south side of the home, where the large window provides plenty of natural light. Could this be the home office that you are looking for? There is more to explore before you decide. Follow the short hallway from bedroom two and open the door. What is this space? A 25'x14' great room, including a kitchenette, could be your office. Or maybe it should be an art studio, with tile floor, sink, shelf space, and natural light from three sides. The current furnishings and big screen TV hint that that it is a perfect "man cave," but it can be whatever you want it to be. There is a comfortable third bedroom and en suite bathroom (serves as the pool bath) here, making it ideal for in-laws, guests, or your noisiest family members. This suite also has a private exterior entrance, accessible through the garage or the garden gate. Now that you have seen the interior, step out to the spacious and beautiful travertine pool deck, where you will be impressed by the 32'x14' propane heated pool and spa, as well as the stainless steel summer kitchen. Along with the 24'x9' covered lanai, this is an extraordinary outdoor living space! Additional features to consider with this home are the newer roof (2021), pool pump (2020), pool heater (2021), garage door (2021), refrigerator and combo oven/microwave (2023), and dishwasher in the guest suite (2023). The 31'x20' 3 car garage features a coated floor, workbench, and plenty of storage. The sellers are offering a one year AHS Shield Essential Home Protection Plan with the purchase of this home.
