Under contract-accepting backup offers. PRICE IMPROVEMENT WITH ATTACHED APPRAISAL! Inspired by Mediterranean villas, this home exudes luxury, comfort and elegance in the highly desirable, gated enclave of Tern Wood in FishHawk Ranch. Custom built by Homes by John C. Fowke, exquisite details must be seen to be appreciated. Nestled on a .75-acre lot, this stately home sits on a conservation lot with easy access to nature trails and shopping. A brick-paved driveway is surrounded by lush landscaping and an impressive turret shrouds the custom, iron doors that welcome you. Soaring ceilings grace the foyer and travertine flooring greets the eye as far as you can see. Step into the lavish living room with travertine columns and a fireplace with matching columns topped by beautifully carved lions. A formal dining room makes entertaining a breeze with its wet bar, fridge and plentiful storage. The adjoining kitchen is a gourmand’s dream, with an equally impressive travertine hood of unique design and a custom, red LaCanche stove, made and imported from France exclusively for this house. Professional chefs would cherish the stove’s cast-iron traditional plate, the electric plancha and five gas burners. Enjoy the flexibility of an electric and gas oven, as well as a warming drawer to keep your food at the perfect temperature. The Sub-Zero refrigerator is beautifully integrated into kitchen by custom, furniture-grade wood panels. Storage is not a concern in the enormous walk-in pantry with onyx countertop and built-ins. The kitchen and family room are crowned by wood beams, and light bathes the large family room from expansive sliding glass doors on two sides. Escape to the lanai and immerse yourself into the surrounding woods. Relax in front of the masterfully carved fireplace or choose the gas firepit at the base of the heated pool’s infinity edge and spa.
