Homes like this do not come along, especially in the Historic District off McGregor Boulevard. Custom built, this exceptional residence sits on two full lots and delivers a level of craftsmanship, scale, and quality that is nearly impossible to replicate at today's cost, at any price. Offering approximately 5,400 square feet under air and nearly 10,000 square feet total, this residence is substantial, intentional, and beautifully maintained with recent enhancements, including a brand-new roof and media room. From the moment you arrive via the circular driveway and three-car garage, the presence is undeniable. Inside, the home lives large yet refined, anchored by a first-floor primary retreat with oversized walk-in closets and a spa-caliber bath. A standout library/study with custom built-ins, rich wood floors, and its own private courtyard creates a quiet, sophisticated escape rarely found today. Designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living, both the fireplace living room and expansive family room feature zero-corner pocket sliders that completely disappear, opening to a resort-style screened pool and spa with abundant covered lanai space. The outdoor experience is next-level, complete with a bar and grilling area everyone gravitates toward, plus a separate courtyard with fireplace that feels like a private boutique resort. Upstairs, a screened lanai off the media room adds yet another layer of livable luxury. The home continues to impress with a chef's kitchen, formal dining room built for entertaining, media room, loft/workout space, wine room, butler's pantry, generous guest suites, generator, and thoughtful details throughout that only a true custom build delivers. Simply put, this home cannot be duplicated for the price being offered. Not on a double lot. Not with this square footage. Not with this level of construction and finish. For a buyer who expects a certain caliber of home, and understands how rare this combination is, This Is A Must-See, Must-Act Opportunity. Homes of this quality, in this location, DO NOT WAIT.
