Old-world craftsmanship like this isn't built anymore. In Ocean Hammock, it's waiting for you. This tile-roof Mediterranean sits on a deep lakefront lot shaded by old oaks, with 3 bedrooms and 4 full baths with study, finished in custom cherry millwork, tile and stained glass. A leaded-glass entry with sidelights and an arched transom opens to a foyer set with a mosaic medallion. Marbleized columns frame the formal living and dining rooms, each finished with tray ceilings, lit arched niches and glass display shelving, while sliders open to the lanai. The kitchen is made for serious cooking, with cherry cabinetry, a granite peninsula with a gas cooktop and seating, a second prep island with its own sink, and a carved stone farmhouse sink. A panel-front built-in refrigerator, a wall oven with a warming drawer and an appliance garage complete the space. A separate butler's pantry adds a second sink, a microwave and more storage. The kitchen opens to the family room, where a fireplace is flanked by built-ins beneath an arched clerestory window and a slider looks out over the lake. The study has a coffered ceiling and a full wall of custom cherry cabinetry and shelving. The primary suite pairs a tray ceiling with a sitting area, French doors to the lanai and built-in dressers. Its bath offers a dual granite vanity, a glass-block walk-in shower with body sprays and a bench, and a jetted tub set between columns beneath a stained-glass window. Outdoors, a colonnade of arches runs the length of the covered lanai, which has a bead board ceiling, fans, recessed lighting and a summer kitchen with a sink and cabinetry. Past the arches, a stone-edged [spa/plunge pool] with a rock feature sits under the screen enclosure facing the water. Beyond the cage, the lawn slopes to the lakeshore, with a paver circle and fountain in between. A pool bath opens directly to the lanai. A laundry room with a utility sink and cabinetry, along with a 3-car split garage, rounds out the home. -FULL HOUSE GENERATOR!!!
