Showcased on more than an acre of park-like landscaping, with lush greenery, mature viburnum hedges and century-old live oaks, this three-bedroom plus office, three-bath pool home is located in the established gated community of Quail Ridge. Follow the long driveway beneath the oak canopy, beyond the convenient turnaround or boat-parking space to the home’s welcoming entrance. Double glass-and-wrought-iron entry doors, accented by sidelights and a transom window, open to a bright interior where travertine flooring flows through the foyer, formal dining room and kitchen. Vaulted ceilings and engineered hardwood floors enhance the living room, where a whitewashed brick wood-burning fireplace and mantel add warmth and character. The light and bright eat-in kitchen feels both polished and welcoming, with rich wood cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and generous workspace for everyday meals and entertaining. A pass-through connects the kitchen to the spacious Florida room, where walls of windows and impact sliding doors bring in views of the pool and expansive backyard. An adjoining office or hobby area provides generous counter space and storage cabinetry for working, creating or staying organized. Vaulted ceilings continue into the primary bedroom, where French doors open to the pool and patio. A large walk-in closet provides generous storage, while the ensuite bath features travertine flooring, a dual-sink granite vanity, jetted tub, separate walk-in shower, and built-in cabinetry for linens and additional storage. Two additional bedrooms, two full guest baths and a dedicated laundry room off the kitchen round out the home with practical comfort and everyday convenience. Step out to the screened-in saltwater pool and surrounding travertine patio, where the expansive backyard, lush greenery and mature trees create a natural backdrop for swimming, dining and relaxing.
