Behind a gated, palm lined drive, this custom Cape Haze estate unfolds across two expansive parcels totaling 2.62 acres, offering an uncommon sense of scale, privacy, and direct waterfront access on Lemon Bay. Built by J & J Homes for the builder himself, the residence reflects a level of craftsmanship and material integrity rarely found in the market. The main living level is organized around a light filled great room, where a wood lined cathedral ceiling and custom built ins frame uninterrupted views of the bay. Walls of glass open to a covered veranda, creating a seamless connection between interior spaces and the surrounding landscape. The kitchen is both refined and functional, appointed with custom wood cabinetry, granite countertops, under cabinet lighting, a hand painted sink, copper range hood, KitchenAid appliances, and a Sub Zero refrigerator. A breakfast nook enhance everyday ease, while a formal dining room with crown molding and a sculptural niche is designed for more considered gatherings. The primary suite is positioned as a private retreat, featuring a double tray ceiling with layered crown molding, an expansive walk in closet supplemented by two additional closets, and a spa like bath with an extended granite vanity, gold plated fixtures, a walk in shower, and a Jacuzzi soaking tub. A dedicated office with leaded glass French doors and custom built in cabinetry offers a quiet, purposeful workspace. A guest suite with water views, balcony access, and an adjacent marble appointed bath provides comfort and privacy for visitors. A well placed powder room and a thoughtfully designed laundry room complete the main level. Outdoors, a heated screened pool and spa overlook Lemon Bay, accompanied by a convenient half bath. The propertys 530 feet of concrete seawall supports exceptional boating infrastructure, including a 16,000 pound lift, a separate 10,000 pound covered lift, Trex dock, fishing station with water and electric, and a dedicated launch for kayaks and paddleboards. Deep water access to the Intracoastal Waterway is immediate, with Don Pedro Island State Park just across the lagoon. Additional features include zoned HVAC, tankless water heater, new electrical panel, an attached side entry three plus car garage, and a 1,500+ square foot air conditioned detached garage and workshop with epoxy flooring. A composed and enduring waterfront estate, defined by craftsmanship, privacy, and a rare depth of waterfront presence.
