Experience Butler Chain living at its finest in this stunning Akers custom home, situated on a quiet cove of Lake Butler, within the gated community of Chaine du Lac! This home is filled with recent updates, such as a newly resurfaced pool, fresh paint throughout, refinished wood floors, and so much more! The stately curb appeal of this 6 bedroom, 6/2 bathroom, 8,887 sqft home sets high expectations as you make your way past the 4-car garage and courtyard-like driveway up to the custom wood doors with gorgeous glass inlays. Upon entering the home, you are sure to be impressed by the awe-inspiring 22' ceilings and picturesque views of the extensive pool area and shimmering lake. Ideal for entertaining, the formal living room features a grand gas fireplace, floor to ceiling windows, coffered ceiling, French doors leading to the covered lanai, and a spiral staircase leading to the 2nd floor billiard room. Open to the living room is the formal dining room framed by gorgeous columns and handmade plaster crown molding. A complete Butler's pantry connects the dining room to the renovated chef's kitchen, which boasts wood faced appliances, metal tile backsplash, granite counters, solid wood Busby cabinets, double wall ovens and a large center island with Dacor cooktop and crystal chandelier. Off of the kitchen is the dinette with a built-in work desk, a staircase leading to the second floor bedrooms, and the family room with wood paneled ceiling and an abundance of natural light through French doors leading to the pool patio. As expected within a true split floor plan, the first-floor master's retreat is located across the home through double doors just off the formal living room. The spacious master provides a quiet place to escape with a separate sitting room, a wet bar with a mini fridge, a massive walk-in closet with custom shelving, and a spa-like master bath with Egyptian tile flooring, whirlpool tub, separate walk-in shower, and custom dual sink vanity that provides plenty of storage space. From the master, French doors lead out to the oversized patio with a sparkling swimming pool, full summer kitchen with bar, covered outdoor dining room, and a grand stone stair case down to the rolling lawn that leads to your very own covered dock and boat lift. Staying true to the luxury lifestyle, the home offers a separate guest cottage, a home theater above the garage, and built-in floor safe within an oversized cedar-lined walk-in storage closet. Additional features include an executive office with custom Busby built-in cabinetry and beautiful wood ceiling detail, multiple walk-out balconies, second floor billiards room with stone wood-burning fireplace, custom built bar, and half bath; gas generator that powers the guest cottage, kitchen, and summer kitchen refrigerators; Icynene spray foam insulation with radiant barrier, and lightning rod protection system, to name a few...
