Sophisticated, elegant, and timeless - this completely custom 2023 Arthur Rutenberg residence is the home of your dreams. Inspired by California design, this modern/mid-century residence is filled with clean lines, plus elements of wood, stone, and bathed in glass to capture the views and provide seamless indoor-outdoor living on an exceptionally private lakeside lanai. With only 12 homes on this desirable street in Lakehouse Cove you'll be close to the clubhouse and amenities, plus all of the advantages of Waterside Place just 2 miles away. This home features open entertaining space plus a private study, and multi-functional bonus room. From the long driveway with meticulous landscaping, you’re welcomed home to a sweeping foyer displaying the fine features you’ll find throughout this residence including oak wood flooring, custom ceilings with crown molding, modern square recessed lighting, designer light fixtures, and lake views that can be seen from almost every room. The central great room is the heart of the home with a warm wood feature wall, disappearing corner impact sliding glass doors to the lanai, and custom window treatments. The lanai is reminiscent of a five-star luxury resort with its heated saltwater infinity edge pool, separate above ground heated spa, private cold plunge, and panoramic views of the lake.
