FIVE POINTS - Timeless Luxury, Seamless Living! Set on nearly three-quarters of an acre, this custom-built masterpiece by Tony Powell offers a rare combination of craftsmanship, innovation, and elegant design in a serene, private setting. From the moment you enter, you're welcomed by soaring ceilings, thick detailed molding, rich 5" white oak floors, custom cabinetry, and stunning designer lighting that adds warmth and sophistication to every room, setting a tone of understated elegance. Expansive views draw your eye from the foyer through the living room and out to the large covered patio and beautifully landscaped backyard. Ideal for entertaining and everyday living, this home features both a separate living room and a spacious keeping room/family room -each with its own fireplace-providing multiple spaces to gather, relax, and enjoy time with family and friends. The gourmet kitchen is a showstopper, complete with Subzero column refrigerator and freezer, Wolf dual fuel range, cold water filtration, and an abundance of custom finishes. The adjacent formal dining room is bathed in natural light, and a custom-built office just off the foyer offers the perfect work-from-home space. The thoughtful split-bedroom layout ensures privacy and comfort. The primary suite, located on the left side of the home, features wide doorways and a spa-inspired, handicap-accessible bath. Two additional en-suite bedrooms are situated on the opposite wing, ideal for guests or family members. The spacious laundry room is both stylish and functional, featuring custom cabinetry, ample counterspace, and built-in drying racks, designed to make daily tasks feel effortless. From the garage, stairs lead to a large fully finished bonus room that could easily be converted into a 4th bedroom/bath. Smart living is fully integrated with Control 4 automation, including built-in speakers in the primary bedroom, bathroom, closet, and lanai, as well as whole-home audio, lighting controls, security system, and exterior cameras. Additional highlights include: Anderson 400 series aluminum-clad windows with 3M anti-shatter film Mahogany front door Plantation shutters Spray foam insulation and encapsulated crawl space Custom lanai with outdoor cooking area Generac natural gas whole-home generator Leaf filter gutter guards Outdoor hot and cold water spigots Landscape lighting and irrigation system Mini-split AC in garage, custom built-ins, and a 2-post Bendpak automotive lift Every inch of this home has been thoughtfully designed and impeccably maintained-offering luxurious comfort, high-end technology, and unmatched attention to detail.
