set along a calm lakeside, this home stands as one of the community’s most refined and thoughtfully curated residences. more than a house, it is an expression of considered design, where craftsmanship, natural textures, and light create an environment that feels both timeless and deeply personal. from the moment you step inside, the architecture speaks in a language of warmth and restraint. wide-plank oak floors carry through the open plan, their grain grounding the interiors with a tactile sense of permanence. wall paneling and clean-lined millwork frame the living spaces, while a sculptural staircase becomes an architectural gesture in its own right, bridging levels while maintaining a feeling of openness. at the heart of the home, the kitchen embodies a balance of beauty and function. cambria counters stretch across generous surfaces, their subtle veining a reminder of the stone’s natural origin. gaggenau appliances and a built-in dacor refrigerator and freezer are integrated with quiet precision, giving the space a professional edge while preserving a sense of calm. here, cooking becomes less about utility and more about ritual, an experience shared with family and friends gathered across the long island and adjacent living spaces. beyond the everyday rhythms, the home offers places of retreat and renewal. a dedicated movie room provides space for intimate evenings, while the upper-level rooms open out toward water views that shift in tone and reflection with the passing hours of the day. every element has been upgraded with care: a new ac system ensures year-round comfort, the piping and electrical panel have been fully replaced, and the details both visible and unseen contribute to a sense of lasting quality. outside, the home opens seamlessly to the water. a fire feature stretches the length of the patio, creating a gathering place where evenings are extended and conversation lingers under the palms. the seating areas, softened by lush planters and natural textures, face the lake where the horizon glows at dusk across the water′s mirrored reflections. this is not simply a residence on the keys, it is a home designed for living well. thoughtful in detail, natural in palette, and effortless in its connection to the water, it is a rare offering that unites architecture, landscape, and lifestyle in a way that feels enduring and true.
