3553 Preserve Lane

What an absolutely beautiful, truly custom-built home sitting on an estate sized lot located in The Preserve of Burnt Pine, a gated community within the Resort of Sandestin. The architecture is reminiscent of an Italian country villa with its 12 foot ceilings, open floor plan and large rooms. The Villa offers 4 bedrooms, 4 and a half bathrooms, plus an office. The master wing ensuite, and its spacious dressing area, are privately located on the first floor overlooking and accessing the backyard and patio. Very rare indeed, is the 1 bedroom, 1 bath carriage house located above the oversized two and one half car garage with an interior staircase and includes a kitchen, living area, dining area, two large closets and even a washer and dryer making it perfect for family and guest's enjoyment. Recently added are the Generac, gas generator with transferable warranty for main house and the tankless, gas, Rennai hot water heater for endless hot water in main house. The three HVACs were replaced in 2018, and all are in good working condition. The kitchen has top of the line appliances including a large Dacor gas range, a Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer, two Bosch dishwashers, Dacor built-in microwave, Dacor warming drawer, and an ice maker. The countertops, including the oversized island, have been updated in a beautiful white quartz and the stained wood cabinetry and range hood are in a neutral shade of cream. Many of the the lighting fixtures have been replaced with fabulous, designer chandeliers and the home has been freshly painted inside and out in the popular tones of off-white. There is porcelain tile flooring running throughout the entire first floor with wood flooring on the second level and also in the carriage house. Crown moldings are present in every room. Four sets of tall, wood, double doors grace the entire front of the home, and the impressive stone mantle, adorning the gas fireplace in the living room, is exquisite. In keeping with luxury estates, the iron staircase railings where created specifically for the home and the dark wood stairs, along with a large empire style beaded chandelier in the foyer, are simply stunning. The dining room can easily seat ten to twelve, for larger gatherings, and there is a pretty breakfast nook, as well. The home is selling with some furniture. The living room is elegant and tastefully decorated with its newly added large Italian Wedding style chandelier. Another recent addition are the many custom made, linen, white drapery panels hanging from the custom oil rubbed bronze rods that adorn the large full length windows throughout. There is a separate family room, with beautiful built-in cabinetry for media, electronics and books, that opens up to the kitchen making this floor plan perfect for entertaining as it was designed to be. A complete sound system, with built-in speakers, are both inside and out. The large outdoor kitchen includes a stainless, built-in, Dacor gas grill, drink refrigerator, sink, a storage closet along with dining and seating areas and sure to be used frequently. It's another great place to gather and its all overlooking the tranquil and serene setting of this coastal nature retreat. The screens are motorized and allow access onto the back patio for even more seating. The sound of the fountain's water, trickling into its lovely, round, stone pond, add to the peacefulness of the area and a wonderful spot to relax, unwind, and enjoy a good book or a cool drink. The porte cochere, with its rustic flagstone steps leading to the home's front entrance enhances the Villa's curb appeal, while the inviting porch provides an additional outdoor relaxing area overlooking the large, and lushly landscaped grounds of the front yard. Both the main house and carriage house have a security system. Last, but not least, is the transferable termite bond in effect for added peace of mind. Do not miss viewing this one, it will not disappoint.
