About This Home

As of December 2020

Craftsmanship exudes from every detail of this exquisite private estate, situated on more than an acre of expansive grounds in Orange Park Acres. The double-doored entry opens to a palatial great room with 20-foot vaulted ceilings, Brazilian hardwood floors and staircase, sitting areas, American Clay walls, and stunning windows that bathe the space in natural light. Designed for the home chef, the enormous gourmet kitchen is equipped with custom African Mahogany and metal cabinets, two farmhouse sinks, and top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances. The massive master retreat features a warm fireplace sitting room, direct deck access, and a lavish, spa-inspired master bath with dual sinks, a double-wide vanity, multi-jetted steam shower, and a therapeutic jetted tub. This tranquil residence serves as an ideal place for a private retreat with views overlooking lush greenery and a lake, while Brazilian hardwood decks, custom saltwater pool and spa with waterfall features, and vast interior and exterior spaces equip the estate for elegant entertaining. Among the countless amenities, this estate offers whole-house water filtration and tankless water system, home automation with hundreds of art and room lights, electric shades, camera and security system, a large laundry room with custom storage and two washers and dryers, a two-story guest house with multiple suites — each with its own entrance, a 3-car garage, and access to numerous trails in the Orange Park Acres trail system.
