Situated within the guard-gated Raptor Retreat in Serenity at Grayhawk, this custom estate offers a private setting backing to natural area open space, creating a quiet and secluded feel while still capturing the community's elevated beauty. A long paved drive leads to the portico entry and four-car garage, setting the stage for a home with recent upgrades including new interior and exterior paint and new light fixtures throughout. The entry opens to formal living and dining spaces, highlighted by a box beam ceiling in the living room and a coved ceiling in the dining area. Wood casement doors and windows add warmth and character throughout. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the kitchen opens to the family room with a stone fireplace. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, a gas cooktop, double wall ovens, two dishwashers, two microwaves, a warming drawer, a large center island with a prep sink and seating, peninsula bar seating, and a breakfast room. A butler's pantry includes a sink, additional storage, beverage/wine refrigerator, two refrigerator drawers and convenient exterior access. The main level includes a private office with its own entry, along with a spacious primary suite designed as a true retreat. Complete with a stacked stone fireplace and sitting area, the primary suite also features a spa-like bath with a his-and-hers setup, including a centerpiece soaking tub, walk-in shower, dual vanities, an exercise room, and a large walk-in closet. A private enclosed patio with outdoor shower enhances the indoor-outdoor connection. Upstairs, two guest suites each offer private baths, along with a flexible bonus space currently styled as a playroom with foam pit and rock wall, easily converted to a media room or additional lounge. A detached casita provides ideal guest accommodations with a kitchenette, microwave, beverage refrigerator, sink, bedroom, and bath. The backyard is an entertainer's dream, thoughtfully designed with a large covered patio and fireplace, built-in grilling area, and expansive hardscape. The rectangular pool is flanked by columns and water features, leading to a pergola-covered lounge space. A separate spa, artificial turf areas, citrus trees, a fire pit and a three-hole putting green complete the setting.
