Property Description
This exceptional 3,900 square-foot executive golf retreat enjoys a secluded, park-like setting on half an acre. Overlooking the 13th green of the Santa Rosa Golf Club in the back, the practice green on the side and driving range in the front, this executive retreat is any golfer's dream, and is literally a few steps from the tee-off point! This bungalow-style compound of three buildings that includes a main house, executive office and exercise room as well as an artist's studio or guest quarters, has a coastal craftsman vision. It borrows key architectural elements from the American Arts and Crafts movement and blends them with the distinctive Florida coastal style, creating a comfortable yet grand architectural experience, inside and out. The exterior of the home, with natural earth-tones of putty and olive, mixes limestone rustication with authentic eave brackets and tapered columns. Interior details of the main house exude luxury with quality details. Its 2,700 square feet features solid Mahogany hardwood floors, doors, cabinetry and detailing. Plantation shutters carry throughout. The large great room features a coffered ceiling with Mahogany detailing, tiled gas fireplace and adjacent wet bar with refrigerator and ice maker. The dining area is surrounded by tall windows on three sides and a high coffered ceiling.
