Enjoy endless tomorrows in this elegant Country Club estate. Lush, generous grounds and timeless styling suggest a historically-significant plantation setting, but this home was meticulously crafted to pay homage to the past while providing every modern comfort and refinement. This is a property for cultivated tastes, a truly unique setting for entertaining on a grand scale, or for enjoying every moment in a quiet retreat. This 5 bedroom, 4 bathroom home features ornate crown moldings, fireplaces in the living and master bedrooms, a formal dining room, a large mudroom/butlers pantry, and plantation shutters throughout. The sweeping staircase leads to the second story and a spacious loft that is perfect as a study area, a game room or den. Several sets of French doors open onto the lovely garden or wrap around balcony and porch. The kitchen, built for a consummate baker, offers double ovens, a kitchen island and an appliance garage. For some people, ''out of a painting'' is a mere figure of speech. Not so for the visionary authors of this special home. The residence and grounds are carefully matched to Thomas Kinkade's famous painting ''Homestead House,'' and like the work that inspired it, this property offers serenity, tranquility, and better days ahead.
