Absolutely gorgeous coastal home with a metal roof, surrounded by palm trees and moss-draped live oaks in the gated community of Sanctuary Cove. The home overlooks the 18th fairway and offers two rear screened porches with long golf-course views and exceptional privacy. This is not your everyday home. It is filled with upgrades and custom details, including extensive woodwork, wainscoting, arched doorways, plantation shutters, hardwood floors and built-in cabinetry. The large family room has a fireplace, an abundance of windows and natural light, and direct access to the lower screened porch. A built-in wet bar makes the space well suited for entertaining. The spacious kitchen features a large island with a gas cooktop, cabinets galore, Viking appliances and a wine refrigerator. A large separate dining room provides plenty of space for family dinners and special occasions. A bedroom suite on the main level includes a full bath with a walk-in shower. Upstairs, the large primary bedroom has its own fireplace and a separate sitting room—an ideal place for morning coffee or reading at the end of the day. The primary bath includes a garden tub, separate shower and double vanities, along with private access to the upper screened porch. All of the bedrooms and bathrooms are generously sized. The home also includes a large separate den or office with built-in bookcases and an oversized laundry room with extensive cabinetry, generous countertop space and a built-in ironing board. Outside, the beautifully landscaped yard complements the home's coastal setting, while the brick-floored front porch and built-in swing provide a comfortable place to enjoy the surrounding live oaks. With its spacious rooms, custom finishes, multiple porches and private golf-course setting, this home has far too many special features to fully appreciate without seeing it in person. The property could also be sold furnished.
