Property Description
Enter through your own private iron gate and follow the long, hedged driveway that exudes privacy and elegance. In the front yard, a serene pond filled with koi and carp, a mature majestic olive tree, and towering Italian cypresses welcome you with the timeless allure of Mediterranean landscaping. A covered walkway, lined with Seville orange plants and vibrant bougainvillea, leads you to the grand entry. Inside, the custom craftsmanship immediately stands out. The expansive open floor plan is framed by floor-to-ceiling windows that capture breathtaking river views and flood the home with natural light. This is no standard or cookie-cutter house. Designed by architect Knight Martorell, it is a one-of-a-kind custom masterpiece, offering the kind of timeless charm that new developer homes simply can't replicate. Every detail, from the custom arches to the handcrafted built-ins in the dining room, reflects a level of thoughtfulness and character rarely found in today’s market. The home features a rooftop deck perfect for entertaining and enjoying the tranquil surroundings. This property offers an experience of both elegance and warmth, far beyond the scope of basic new construction. It's a timeless creation, blending Tuscan class with modern comfort in a way that makes it truly irreplaceable.
