This grand estate is just as one might expect tucked behind the gates of The Oaks Bayside. Set back from the street and surrounded by lush landscaping which includes mature oak trees, tropical plants, and beautiful shrubs. The driveway is made up of pavers and leads to the 3-car side-load garage. For guests, the walkway leads to the front porch whose columns perfectly frame the double-door entry. Upon entering, notice the marble flooring, the extraordinary natural light, and plantation shutters. To your left is the office complete with a built-in desk, bookshelves, wood flooring, and pocketing doors for when you need it a bit quieter to get the job done. To the right is an open room with a backlit tray ceiling that might be the perfect place for your grand piano, a library, or a formal dining room. Straight ahead is the formal living room overlooking the private pool through a window so large it seems to bring the outdoors in. This living room boasts high ceilings, a fireplace, and easy access to the pool. In the kitchen, you’ll find a breakfast nook overlooking the pool through the aquarium window, a long breakfast bar, two sinks, and an island to easily allow for multiple cooks in the kitchen, a double wall oven, and a butler’s pantry. It’s open to the family room which has sliding glass doors that lead to the pool, a wood-burning fireplace, a wet bar, and a built-in desk. What a wonderful place for a busy family to gather. The master suite is spacious and has a sitting area near the many windows and pool access through sliding glass doors. The en suite bath has a walk-in shower as well as a garden tub with picture windows overlooking your private tropical garden. The pool area is very private with a beautiful pool and separate spa, travertine deck, and covered patio. You really must see this 6000 square foot home with its 5 bedrooms, 5 full bathrooms, and 2 half baths for yourself. Be sure to also tour The Oaks Club (as all homeowners are members) and see the two golf courses, driving range, tennis courts, pickle-ball courts, croquet court, well-fit center, and restaurants. Conveniently located near Pine View School, Historic Spanish Point, Casey Key, Oscar Sherer State Park, and a short drive to shopping, dining, medical facilities, and airports.
