A double-gated entrance and winding paver driveway leads you through dappled sunlight beneath a majestic tree canopy, setting the tone for the serene lifestyle that awaits. With no neighbors in sight, privacy is absolute. (one can feel secure on this property) This custom-built Arthur Rutenberg residence spans approximately 7,000 total square feet with brand new roof and features 4 bedrooms, plus a den/office, and a remarkable three-story, Class 5 hurricane-rated safe structure—complete with a rooftop deck overlooking the verdant surroundings.

A custom wet bar with a green onyx countertop and copper sink adds a touch of sophistication. Expansive double sliders open to a screened outdoor living area with a pool, area for grilling and oversized patio—ideal for entertaining. The triple-split floor plan offers privacy and functionality, enhanced by aquarium-style transom windows and octagon architectural accents. The expansive primary suite boasts two double sliders with direct access to the pool and outdoor lounge area. At the heart of the home, the recently renovated kitchen offers style and substance with custom wood ceiling insets, Samsung appliances, custom wood cabinetry, granite countertops, an extra-large pantry, and a large center island with comfortable seating for four. It flows seamlessly into a cozy family room with built-in shelving, an oversized marble fireplace, and a handcrafted wood mantle. The crown jewel of the property is the impressive three-story, Class 5 hurricane-rated addition. Designed with versatility in mind, it serves beautifully as a guest suite, art studio, man cave, or entertainment space. Constructed with double steel-reinforced concrete, fireproof and hurricane-rated windows, handcrafted walnut doors, this structure features floating maple floors, skip-trowel plaster walls and ceiling, custom lighting, and hand-painted cedar crown molding. A spiral staircase connects to a second-floor studio or workshop, while the third level offers a rooftop deck with artificial turf—perfect for sunbathing, sunset watching, or a roof top bar escape.
