Located in Baldwin Park with picturesque water views, this 3,420 SF Colonial-style pool residence boasts four bedrooms + an office and three and a half bathrooms. Originally constructed by David Weekley, the home has undergone extensive renovations. The renovated interiors exude luxury, quality and functionality. The entrance sequence is exceptional. As you approach Dorell, you’re greeted by the serene pond, sprawling .28 acre corner lot and inviting covered front porch. Inside, the foyer welcomes guests and offers views of the meticulously finished interior spaces framed by a sweeping stairwell. A private office sits at the front of the home overlooking the water. It was improved to include floor-to-ceiling millwork, custom built-ins and shutters. Beyond the office, the formal dining room, eat-in nook, kitchen and family room flow together nicely, providing easy living and versatile use of space. European white oak wide plank flooring runs throughout, complementing the neutral palette. The kitchen underwent a complete transformation, featuring rift oak cabinets, Thermador appliances and a sizable island. A custom hood was installed over the 6-burner gas range plus griddle with a convenient pot filler and double ovens. Other noteworthy features include cabinet-front refrigerator and freezer, under-counter microwave, under-mount granite sink and all new plumbing and lighting fixtures. The sizable kitchen island, covered with a quartzite countertop and enhanced by a waterfall edge, offers plenty of seating. The eat-in nook was renovated to include banquette seating with custom storage. It is adjacent to a built-in with serving space and an under-counter fridge that is shared with the dining room for even better functionality. Large windows and multiple French doors allow an abundance of natural light and afford direct access to the lanai. Luxury lighting from companies such as Visual Comfort and Restoration Hardware adorn the home in these spaces and throughout. The primary suite, located on the 1st floor, was renovated with transitional interior selections including maple built-ins, Calacatta porcelain tile, quartzite countertops, a solid quartz shower encasement, Ferguson plumbing fixtures, a new stand-alone tub, custom closets, a private water closet and more.
