This architectural masterpiece by John Cannon Homes, in The Concession, is a stunning blend of high design and modern functionality. A circular driveway and immaculate landscaping create a grand impression. At the same time, the preserve across the street and behind the house offers permanent privacy--a one-of-a-kind property. The large stone columns and the impressive glass pivot door highlight the home's elegant craftsmanship. As you enter the foyer, a breathtaking lake view unfolds through the large glass sliders, showcasing the expansive, endless pool. Elegant wood-look tile flooring flows throughout the home, complemented by impact glass, remote-controlled blinds, custom draperies, designer lighting and gold-accented hardware. The great room is sleek and spacious and embodies luxurious comfort, highlighted by a dramatic coffered ceiling and a media wall featuring built-in shelving, a backlit agate mantle, a linear 120-inch fireplace and a 100-inch television. Adjacent niches are perfect for wine tastings or intimate gatherings. At the heart of the home, the gourmet kitchen impresses with an oversized floating island wrapped in waterfall-edge quartz counters and striking pendant lights cascading from a custom dropped ceiling. Premium appliances include a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Dacor induction cooktop, Fisher & Paykel double dishwashing drawers, and a stylish dry bar nearby. The prep kitchen's huge windows view the garden and add culinary versatility, with a Viking gas range, True refrigerator, Viking dishwasher and a large walk-in pantry. The remarkable primary wing encompasses the entire left side of the house. It is entered through solid-core double doors and features a versatile coffee bar, spacious sitting area, private lanai access, dual custom closets, an in-closet vanity and private office. The spa-like primary bath offers dual vanities, a freestanding tub, an oversized walk-in shower with multiple showerheads, Kohler® fixtures and a secluded courtyard. Two expansive walk-in closets provide custom storage. The VIP suite lives like a second primary--complete with a private wet bar, pool access via sliding doors, a spa-style bath and a wood-accented lighted wall that continues along the ceiling. All guest bedrooms include en-suite baths and walk-in closets. A stylish powder bath, a versatile bonus suite and a well-appointed media room complete the interior living spaces. The outdoor oasis provides an extraordinary design. A fully equipped outdoor kitchen boasts dolomite countertops, an accent wall, custom lighting, a premium Lynx grill, sink and two Perlick beverage drawers. The Pebble-Tec saltwater infinity pool is framed by dramatic fire and water features, a raised spa, and a panoramic screen enclosure that captures the lakefront setting. A custom-designed 75-inch screen is hidden in the ceiling and effortlessly drops down for viewing from any angle. A porcelain lanai on concrete deck with hidden drains, integrated landscape speakers, and lush, professionally designed landscaping. Additional upgrade features include two tankless water heaters, a climate-controlled storage room, hidden HVAC vents and two oversized two-car garages, one with ceiling height to accommodate a lift and more. Home automation allows for effortless control of lighting, audio and security.
