NESTLED on one of the LARGEST PREMIUM LOTS in the EXCLUSIVE Village of Bradford, this stunning IVY 10 Model Custom Pool Home offers a rare blend of architectural elegance and cutting-edge sustainability. Purchased new in 2021, the residence sits on a coveted lot that backs directly onto a permanent Nature Preserve, ensuring breathtaking views and total privacy with no rear neighbors, power lines, or traffic noise. The exterior's sophisticated block and stucco construction is complemented by professional landscaping with block flower beds and a custom-coordinated rain gutter system, setting a high standard of luxury before you even step through the custom glass front doors. Inside, the home radiates a sense of volume and grandeur with 10-foot ceilings and 8-foot solid wood doors throughout. The masterfully designed floor plan features four bedrooms and 2.5 baths, including an extended master suite that has been lengthened toward the pool for a true retreat-like feel. Architectural details like arched hallways and crown molding accent the space, while 7mm waterproof luxury plank flooring runs completely throughout the home for a seamless, modern aesthetic. The gourmet kitchen is a chef's dream, featuring top-tier LG stainless steel appliances with European convection, Quartz Countertops, a custom backsplash, and extra-tall cabinetry with slide-out shelving. Thoughtful electrical touches abound, including under-cabinet lighting in the kitchen, floor outlets in the TV area, and E1EC outlets for maximum convenience. This estate is a marvel of modern efficiency and smart technology, designed for a low-impact, high-comfort lifestyle. A comprehensive Solar Panel system paired with a Tesla whole-house battery backup ensures minimal electrical costs and peace of mind. The home is further enhanced by a whole-house water filter, solar light tubes with integrated night lights, and a Sonos sound system that flows through every room. Climate control is highly personalized with dedicated mini-split HVAC systems in both the master bedroom and the garage. For security, the property is fully equipped with an ADT camera system and a Google video doorbell. The outdoor living space is a private sanctuary, featuring an oversized lanai and a T&D custom-built pool with auto-fill and drain technology. The pool is sheltered by a "Bird Cage" enclosure with premium tight-weave screening and minimal framing to preserve the view, and it stays comfortable year-round thanks to a dedicated solar heating system. Even the 3-Car Garage is finished to a luxury standard, boasting epoxy floors, 7-foot custom doors, 10-foot ceilings, a utility sink, and overhead storage racks. From the wine fridge area to the custom-tiled baths, every inch of this home has been upgraded to provide the ultimate Florida lifestyle.
