Gracefully positioned along the shores of Lake Beauclaire, part of the coveted Harris Chain of Lakes, this extraordinary lakefront estate evokes the romance of an Italian villa and the timeless elegance of a Mediterranean chateau. At the end of a long private drive, the residence is unveiled in spectacular fashion, surrounded by courtyard gardens, panoramic water views, and unforgettable sunsets. A spacious motor court and three-car garage provide a welcoming arrival for family and guests. The home's captivating exterior showcases a new roof, classic stucco facade, iron-framed balconies, rich wood and brick accents, and a distinctive turret leading to a hand-hewn arched wood entry. Inside, the residence is filled with warmth, character, and remarkable architectural detail. Thoughtfully enhanced with a 2025 roof, updated electrical systems, a new water treatment system, and Trex balcony decking, the home beautifully preserves its historic charm through original Saltillo tile floors, textured stucco walls, graceful archways, period millwork, and pecky cypress ceilings. Designed for both everyday living and grand-scale entertaining, the main level offers a variety of inviting gathering spaces. Three original wood-burning fireplaces anchor the living room, sitting room, and expansive family room, which also features a dedicated music/art studio and a full wet bar with refrigerator. The updated kitchen and dining areas capture sweeping lake views and open seamlessly to the pool lanai. Appointed with wood cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a generous center island, and a butler's pantry with laundry, the kitchen is equally suited for intimate mornings and memorable celebrations. Dual staircases lead to beautifully crafted living quarters highlighted by custom millwork and hardwood flooring. The primary suite serves as a private sanctuary, filled with natural light and opening onto a lakefront balcony. Dual walk-in closets and a spa-inspired bath feature dual vanities, a jetted tub, and a tiled walk-in shower. The second bedroom offers a private sitting room and an ensuite bath, while the third bedroom includes its own sitting area with convenient access to the hall bath. Above the garage, a separate two-bedroom apartment with private exterior access and interior second-floor connectivity provides exceptional flexibility for guests, extended family, or multigenerational living. At the top of the home, a third-floor bonus room with a half bath delivers breathtaking treetop and lake views, creating the perfect space for a studio, office, or private escape. Outdoor living is equally impressive. A screened lanai overlooks the pool and spa, creating an idyllic setting for entertaining or unwinding while taking in spectacular sunsets. A charming brick pathway winds to the shoreline, where a private boathouse awaits, and endless adventures on the Chain of Lakes begin.
