Reimagined and reinvented, this iconic Bendel Gardens estate delivers turnkey luxury on a rare acre-plus double lot beneath towering, mature live oaks. Behind its timeless Colonial/Traditional façade, no detail has been spared: soaring 9+ foot ceilings and rich crown molding welcome you inside, while beamed and vaulted ceilings upstairs add architectural character to a completely reimagined interior spanning 5 bedrooms and 4.5 baths. The chef-caliber kitchen is ideal for everyday living and casual gatherings, while a separate, custom-built wet bar with painted, fluted cabinetry and a Scotsman nugget ice maker creates the perfect space for entertaining. Upstairs, an oversized game room and a dedicated home office offer flexible space for work and play. A large laundry room adds everyday convenience, and a curated designer lighting package carries the home's elevated aesthetic throughout. The primary suite offers a true spa retreat with a garden tub, separate shower, and generous closets outfitted by California Closets. Outdoors, the grounds are built for entertaining: a heated and chilled pool set against antique brick decking, a private pickleball/basketball sport court, a pool house, an outdoor kitchen, and a wood-burning fireplace create a private oasis beneath the oaks, with a tree house adding a playful touch to the grounds. Every system has been upgraded for effortless ownership: a whole-home 32kW Generac standby generator, two Carrier Performance 17 SEER two-stage HVAC systems with variable-speed air handlers and whole-home dehumidification, a tankless water heater, and a monitored ADT security system. A complete Control4 smart-home platform delivers distributed audio and video throughout the home, in-wall touchscreens, and an enterprise-grade WiFi network, with all technology, TVs, and window treatments remaining with the home. No HOA. A rare opportunity to own one of Bendel Gardens' most distinguished addresses. Schedule your private showing today.
