Property Description
Experience an extraordinary blend of luxury, tranquility, and timeless elegance in this breathtaking Arthur Rutenberg lakefront estate. Offered $75,000 below appraised value and capturing approximately 500 yards of sweeping water views, this residence is even more impressive in person. Completely renovated between 2014–2016 and 2022–2025, this custom masterpiece is tucked within the respected guard-gated community of Deer Creek in Palmer Ranch. Dramatic 12-foot ceilings, stunning marble and glass architectural accents, transom windows, and exquisite marble flooring flood the home with natural light and refined elegance. The chef’s kitchen is a true showpiece, featuring stunning underlit Patagonia quartz from Brazil, custom cabinetry, a Bosch convection oven and microwave, French-door refrigerator, separate ice maker, and a striking partial glass ceiling and architectural feature wall that transform the entire space, all bathed in the light of a spectacular Swarovski chandelier. The expansive great room opens seamlessly to a spectacular 42-foot heated saltwater pool and overlooks the tranquil 9-acre lake, offering unforgettable sunsets and an endless variety of wildlife views. Designed for exceptional indoor-outdoor living, the residence provides over 3,000 square feet of interior living space plus an additional 1,500 square feet of outdoor living. The flexible floorplan includes three spacious bedrooms and a beautifully appointed office or optional fourth bedroom, complete with a cozy fireplace and plantation shutters. The primary suite is a private sanctuary, highlighted by fully marbled floors, soaring 12-foot walls, a dramatic five-foot crystal chandelier, and a glass-wrapped spa bath with walk-in shower, custom freestanding soaking tub, and a custom walk-in closet. Meticulously upgraded throughout, the home features energy-efficient zoned HVAC with warranty, foam insulation, two water heaters, heated bathroom fans, crown molding, upgraded LED lighting, triple sliding doors, a heat pump, reverse osmosis water system, and full storm protection. A three-car garage with 8-foot doors includes a walk-up, fully floored attic offering exceptional storage. The grounds are framed by mature oaks, bougainvillea, sago palms, creeping fig, and vibrant Birds of Paradise, creating a lush and private setting. Deer Creek is well-known for its stately guard-gated entrance, 17 scenic lakes, and serene upscale atmosphere—just 12 minutes to world-famous Siesta Key Beach and moments from shopping, dining, and cultural attractions. This exceptional lakefront residence truly represents the Pinnacle of Gulf Coast luxury living.
