Originally built as the Arthur Ruttenburgh model home, this stunning 4-bedroom, 3-bath residence set on a sprawling half-acre lot is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Saddlebrook Resort's legacy — fully reimagined for today's most discerning buyer. From the moment you arrive, the lush, mature landscaping, manicured topiaries, and stately arched double-door entry announce that this is no ordinary home. The red tile roof and classic Mediterranean architecture have only grown more distinguished with time — and the interior tells an equally compelling story. Step inside to soaring vaulted ceilings, decorative columns, and a sweeping open-concept great room anchored by rich, authentic Spanish-inspired tile in six blended color variations — a signature design element carried throughout the entire home. Elegant 5.5-inch crown molding frames every room with refined detail, while a dramatic stone wall fireplace flanked by custom built-in cabinetry and shelving creates a stunning focal point in the living space. A custom bay window, beautifully framed by classic wainscoting, adds timeless architectural character and bathes the room in natural light. The completely renovated chef's kitchen features custom white shaker cabinetry, dramatic marble quartz countertops, a center island with cooktop, professional stainless range hood, double wall ovens, and sleek pendant lighting — all framed by arched windows overlooking the lush grounds. The adjacent formal dining space, anchored by an elegant chandelier, is perfect for intimate dinners or large gatherings. The owner's suite offers a spa-inspired bath with dual vanity, soaking tub, walk-in shower, and abundant natural light. The outdoor living experience is nothing short of resort-caliber. A generous screened lanai wraps around a sparkling pool and spa, complemented by a fully equipped outdoor kitchen and bar — all set against the privacy of the half-acre lot. Saddlebrook Resort — one of Florida's most storied private resort communities — has just completed a $92 million transformation, including redesigned championship golf courses, a brand-new spa facility, and the highly anticipated RARE 1981 restaurant, bringing fine dining and a vibrant social scene right to your doorstep. World-class tennis, fitness, and resort amenities round out a lifestyle few communities can match. The 3-car garage comfortably fits your vehicles and the included golf cart — because here, the golf course isn't just a view, it's part of your daily life. This is more than a home. It's a legacy property in a resort that's just getting started.
