Experience refined, contemporary living in this extraordinary 5-bedroom, 5.5-bath estate, originally featured in Southern Living and designed by acclaimed architect Robert Taylor. Thoughtfully crafted with a unique multi-wing layout, this residence offers both privacy and seamless spaces for gathering. Set on an expansive 2.39-acre lakefront lot, the property is a true sanctuary, home to a diverse array of birds and native wildlife, creating a peaceful, nature-rich environment that enhances everyday living. Inside, the home is defined by dramatic architectural elements, including soaring ceilings with exposed beams and an abundance of natural light streaming through expansive rear-facing windows. These striking design features frame tranquil lake views and overlook a distinctive, Florida-shaped pool with relaxing waterfalls backdrop, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. Recent improvements provide both style and peace of mind, including a newly installed metal roof, an updated HVAC system, a new pool heater, a new water heater, and two beautifully renovated bathrooms featuring modern finishes.

It showcases premium finishes, quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, a built-in dining nook, and high-performance appliances, including a 48-inch BlueStar gas range. This space flows effortlessly into multiple living and dining areas, along with a welcoming family room complete with a fireplace. The primary suite is privately situated in its own wing, offering a quiet retreat with direct access to a screened outdoor deck that includes a hot tub and sauna—ideal for relaxation at any time of day. Additional bedrooms are positioned in a separate wing with their own shared lounge area, providing comfort and flexibility for guests or extended living arrangements.
