This reimagined Duval estate is a rare offering, designed for those who appreciate architectural integrity and quality. Situated on a premier lakefront lot with expansive water views, this home has been elevated with a selection of top-of-the-line finishes. The chef’s kitchen is anchored by a striking centerpiece of high-grade natural quartzite counters and a marble backsplash, fully integrated with a professional Thermador appliance suite, an Italian-made Nantucket sink, and Brizo fixtures. The layout works especially well for entertaining, with a custom-built solid wood pantry for organization, an additional butler’s pantry adjacent to the formal dining room, and a wet bar thoughtfully positioned within the formal living area. The home’s design features custom window treatments, designer lighting, built-in closets, crown moldings, and upgraded flooring throughout both levels. The guest bathroom was recently renovated in 2025, featuring Carrera marble, custom woodwork, and solid brass fixtures. You’ll find total peace of mind with full impact-rated windows and doors on both the first and second floors, a Bosch climate control system, and a professional exterior repaint completed in late 2025. Beyond the main residence included in the home is the private Casita—with its own kitchenette, living, and sleeping quarters, this versatile space works equally well as an executive office, a private guest wing, or multi-generational living. The exceptional level of detail and craftsmanship throughout sets this home apart. For the buyer seeking a truly turnkey transition, select designer furnishings may be available.
