Discover the hidden gem of Aristida, one of the Trinity area’s most exclusive communities, where this custom-designed home shines as one of its finest residences. Right at the end of a serene cul-de-sac, this expansive lot offers privacy without isolation, blending natural surroundings with neighborhood charm. Architect-designed and custom-built, the home showcases clean lines, lofty ceilings, and abundant natural light, (perhaps the brightest home in the community) with oversized windows that bring the outdoors in from every room. The main living spaces feature travertine floors, soaring 12-14’ ceilings, crown molding, enhanced baseboards, and elegant tray ceilings in both the primary suite and formal dining room—creating an ambiance that’s sophisticated yet inviting. Entering through the front door, you’re immediately drawn in by the thoughtfully curated details. The formal dining room, defined by classic columns, flows seamlessly into the main areas. The great room, formal living/dining, and primary suite, each lead out to the screened lanai. Outside, a pavered deck surrounds the saltwater pool with a tranquil waterfall, perfect for relaxing or entertaining. The gourmet kitchen boasts solid cherry cabinets with pull-out drawers, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances, offering both style and functionality. Pocket sliders in the great room fully open up the home, merging indoor and outdoor spaces for true Florida living, with a surround sound system enhancing every movie night. The expansive primary suite includes a sitting area, dual walk-in closets, and a luxurious en-suite bath with an oversized jet tub and a dual-head shower. Additional bedrooms offer generous space, 10’ ceilings, and tall doors, while a flexible front room can serve as an office, den, or extra lounge.
