First Floor:
As you enter this stunning home you immediately notice gorgeous textures and natural materials. Lightly troweled walls and 100-year-old barn wood create instant visual connections with your 12-acre property while exquisite millwork at the front door and in the adjacent dining room perfectly balance more rustic elements. Your entry is bright and spacious with a soaring 2-story ceiling. Your study on the right is mirrored by your dining room on the left, while straight ahead your gaze passes through the living room to the wall of windows that frame views of your patio and pond. Scraped hardwood floors extend in all directions, creating continuity as you move through this welcoming home. Your study is airy and inviting, with light flowing through the front window and additional sunlight splashing in from the entry through lovely French doors. The warm tones of the hardwood floor are echoed in the reclaimed wood that creates the crown molding. Bright and spacious, this study will work equally well as a home office or simply as a place to relax and unwind.
Across the foyer, reclaimed wood beams frame the wide entry to your dining room. A more formal space, this room is circled with deep crown molding and accented with corner block detail. Beautiful millwork surrounds French doors, splash the dining room with sunlight and open to your front porch. Opposite the French doors, an arch leads to your well-equipped butler’s pantry with granite counters, wine storage, slats for stemware, and a spot for a beverage fridge. Your walk-in pantry is also accessed from here and your kitchen is just steps away for effortless entertaining.
From the foyer, continuing into your home, you pass the hardwood stair on your right to arrive in your main living area. Cheerful sunlight, open spaces, and gorgeous views create a peaceful and welcoming atmosphere. Your living room, kitchen, and breakfast table are open to one another for an easy flow of conversation and laughter, yet still offer three distinct gathering areas. Your living room is anchored by a fireplace faced in the same cut stone as your home’s exterior. Wood beams at the ceiling echo the hardwood floors and create further connections with your 12-acre property, while French doors open wide to your extended patio and outdoor living. Additional beams define the transition from living room to kitchen while maintaining the open feel.
Moving into your kitchen, you find a wonderfully appointed space with knotty alder cabinets and stainless appliances, including a commercial grade Thermador gas range with 6 burners, a
griddle, and double ovens. Spice cabinetry built into your vent hood is a thoughtful touch that makes cooking even easier. Your huge island is topped with granite and offers casual seating, additional storage, and electrical outlets. Your kitchen flows into your breakfast table at the back of your home, where windows showcase views of your back yard and pond, while toward the front of your home your kitchen connects with your dining room via the butler’s pantry.
Between your living room and stair, a short hall to the right leads to a landing between your owner’s suite, guest bedroom, powder bath, and your laundry room. Your owner’s suite is tranquilly finished with light paint, hardwood floors, and a gorgeous tray ceiling inset with reclaimed wood and framed by crown molding. French doors bring in loads of sunlight and open to your back patio and outdoor living. In the front corner of the room, double doors open to a spa-inspired master bath with beautiful stone and elegant cabinetry. Double sinks at the long vanity give each of you plenty of space in the mornings and a linen cabinet keeps fluffy towels handy. Your luxurious free-standing tub is framed by an arch and set under a window, while the adjacent walk-in shower is tiled in travertine and boasts full body sprays for a decadent shower experience. When you’re finished, step into your fully organized master closet where abundant shelving, three rows of hanging rods, and stacks of drawers have everything you need to get ready for your day.
Your guest bedroom is also on the first floor, ready to welcome visitors with hardwood floors and a large closet for easy unpacking. Next door the powder bath is finished with elegant crown molding and a rich chocolate marble vanity to pamper both daytime and overnight guests.
Your laundry room is the last area that opens from the central landing and is conveniently situated directly across from your owner’s suite, making it easy to return clean clothes to your organized closet. Generously sized and thoughtfully appointed, this room handles laundry with ease thanks to plenty of cabinetry, a granite countertop for folding clothes, and a hanging rod. Because this large space also doubles as your owner’s entry, it also includes a bench with storage below and as well as a row of hooks to catch jackets and additional cabinetry at the top. A door at the end opens to your attached double garage, which boasts a deep side recess with cabinetry that would be perfect for a workshop. Across the breezeway, your detached 6-car garage has a double bay door at the front and two single bay doors at the back, allowing you to drive vehicles or yard equipment straight through as needed. Oversized dimensions provide plenty of room along each side for storage or workspace.
Second Floor:
Back inside your home, your gorgeous hardwood stair gives way to wonderfully plush carpet as you step into the game room on the second floor. Windows on the back wall spill sunlight into the space and crown molding frames your ceiling. Generously sized, your game room can easily accommodate multiple entertaining areas. Short halls to the right and left of your game room lead to three secondary bedrooms and two full baths. All three bedrooms are large and comfortable, with crown molding and good-sized closets. One bedroom is split to the right and corresponds to a hall bath with a tiled tub. The remaining two bedrooms are located to the left, each with its own private vanity. They share a Jack and Jill tub and linen closet between them.
Exterior:
This gorgeous home sits at the end of a long, private street with only three other homes on the cul de sac. Beautiful cut stone is accented with brick and reclaimed wood, and a charming covered flagstone porch extends outside your dining room. The side drive wanders past the front lawn to a large car court between your side-entry double garage and detached 6-car garage, with
a covered breezeway connecting the garage with your home. Landscaping softens the foundation lines and is neatly edged in stone. With over 12 acres of property, you have plenty of space to spread out and relax. Behind your home, a long back patio offers shade and ceiling fans to keep the air moving. Comfy seating overlooks your pond, where you can fish for Florida largemouth bass, and a gazebo offers additional shaded seating. At one end of your patio, your lagoon pool sparkles invitingly with its waterfall and diving rock. A heated spa welcomes you in to watch the stars on clear evenings. Past the pool, a barn has two large stalls for horses and a tack room for equipment. At the other end of your hard, your detached garage opens onto a large parking pad. Quiet and peaceful, this exceptional property feels miles away from everything yet is close to all major amenities. Enjoy the best of country living with the ease of city conveniences at this incredible Shepherd’s Creek home.
