A Visionary Tropical Estate: Modern Craftsmanship Meets Orchard Abundance
Discover a residence where contemporary showpiece design meets thoughtful, master-level function at every turn. This is not a typical remodel, it's a meticulously orchestrated statement with a cool island vibe. Previously aging, this home has been transformed into an “anti-boring” statement. The chef's kitchen is truly next-level, anchored by a custom split-level island with solid granite countertops that doubles as both a 4-seat dining table and high-performance cook station. A propane gas range with brushed nickel pot filler, a 250-pound porcelain 50/50 sink, and a hammered copper bar sink make both prep and presentation effortless. Premium appliances include a Bosch dishwasher and 4-door Whirlpool refrigerator, all illuminated by sculptural, wavy fixtures and enhanced by subtle glitter-infused grout. The primary suite offers a boutique-hotel experience, featuring a mint-condition vintage clawfoot tub and a retractable ceiling-mounted screen for elevated relaxation. The separate main bath showcases an innovative spiral tiled shower with six body sprays, a dramatic 20-inch rainhead, handheld sprayer, dual-sink granite vanity, and lighted mirror all designed for both privacy and indulgence. Set on a convenient 1-acre RS-15 zoned parcel with subdivision potential, the home includes split A/C, updated electrical and plumbing, and generous lower-level space with a full bath, laundry, gym, and ample storage. The grounds are an ideal complement to this one-of-a-kind tropical estate. Lots of mature fruit trees with an opportunity for subdivision or additional dwellings.
